"The three main characters of Soldier Boys return, this time at the Battle of Batoche. Tom, Luc and Marie are all 14 years of age and the suspenseful re-creation of the history of the battle is interwoven with their personal experiences during this time. Readers will learn a great deal about how battles were fought when the Métis resistance was overthrown. A glossary of Cree and French phrases used in the dialogue is included. The book also contains two maps - one of the Saskatchewan countryside near Duck Lake in 1885 and another of the area around Batoche."--Ministry of Education website.
