Archipelago by David Ward (Red Deer $12.95) ages 12+
Strikingly similar, David Ward's first juvenile novel Archipelago is a time travel adventure set on Haida Gwaii. To cope with the tragic death of his father, 12-year-old Jonah accompanies his mother, a well-known photographer, on a self-healing journey, only to plunge backward 14,000 years in time, back to when ancient peoples were beginning to make their way from Asia over the Bering Strait and down to the Americas, stopping at Haida Gwaii en route. In these pre-historic times, Jonah teams up with a mysterious girl named Akilah who helps him survive and reawakens his yearnings for love. Ward lives in Pender Harbour. 978-0-88995-400-7
