“The Landing is the 2008 winner of the
Governor General’s Award for Children’s
Literature.”

“We have some wonderfully powerful

writers of literature for children in Canada,
and John Ibbotson is one of them.”

This is a superb novel for readers ages

13-17, especially boys.
OTHER BOOKS:
Politics and the stock market are the two most ruthless
environments outside an actual battlefield. The market
creates and destroys wealth; politics creates and
destroys power. Power and wealth are both highly
prized, and those who acquire large amounts of either
are unlikely to be gentle souls.
