Recensione:

The Loxleys and Confederation has been listed as one of the best fiction books of the year for teens by the Canadian Children's Book Centre.

"The Loxleys and Confederation' makes a difficult subject clear, relevant and interesting. It's a perfect resource for history teachers and a great piece of comic art that tells a poignant and dramatic story allowing readers to see why Canada is such a great country." --John K. Kirk, Popmythology

"A compelling story about people and the land we all share; that goes far beyond what the encyclopedias say about Confederation and goes straight to the heart of the people whose lives intersected with that historical period." --Rob Alexander, Rocky Mountain Outlook

"This graphic novel - a follow-up to The Loxleys and the War of 1812 - may appeal to children and young adults for its history-friendly approach and the human story that unfolds parallel to the more process-driven narrative of Confederation and nation building." Named one of the 'Best New Books with a Canadian Theme' --Sarah Murdoch, Toronto Star

"I believe this book should be in every library across the continent, and maybe even be required reading for students and others interested in knowing more about how the U.S. and Canada have become close allies. It's great and informative reading!" --Wayne Hall, Major Spoilers

"An ideal gift for comic lovers and history buffs... 10/10... Informative, engaging, even-handed and intensely gripping." --Now Read This
