Mystery in Algonquin Park
For Jayme Goodall, this summer at Camp Frabourin on Canoe Lake, Ontario, could be her last chance to experience the pleasures of her youth. Yet, as she seeks to enjoy the lake’s tranquil beauty, she stumbles upon a mystery that ripples back through time and connects her life to that of Binnie, a young woman who lived on the lake 100 years earlier. While Jayme and Binnie peel back layers of secrets and intrigue in parallel storylines, they discover that the lake holds more than just summer memories. It conceals a truth that could change everything.
Buoyant Passages
What started as a short account of author Daniel J. Demers’ ancestors, including their arrival in Canada and the many challenges they faced while striving to establish a life here, soon morphed into a memoir of the author’s own life as well. While the book still begins by recounting his family’s history before and after their arrival in Canada, the bulk of it focuses on Daniel’s own life experiences, particularly his unique role as an identical twin and the many adventures he’s had while exploring Canada’s natural wonders. As a result, this memoir winds up being a celebration not only of his family’s history but also of the limitless options for escape, adventure, and discovery that Canada has to offer.

Boosters and Barkers
“Stick it, Canada! Buy more Victory Bonds.” The First World War demanded deep personal sacrifice on the battlefield and on the home front – and it also made unrelenting financial demands. Boosters and Barkers is a highly original examination of the drive to finance Canadian participation in the conflict. David Roberts examines Ottawa’s calls for direct public contributions in the form of war bonds; the intersections with imperial funding, taxation, and conventional revenue; and the substantial fiscal implications of participation in the conflict during and after the war. Canada’s bond campaigns used print, images, and music to sell both the war and public engagement. They received an astounding response, generating revenue to cover almost a third of the country’s total war costs, which were estimated at $6.6 billion – a dramatic charge on a dominion so far from the front. This story is one of inexorable need, shrewd propaganda, resistance, engagement, and long-term consequences.
