The Case of the Missing Auntie by Michael Hutchinson
5.0
The Mighty Muskrats are headed to the city where they are sure to learn a lot of lessons and try to find a missing auntie.
The second instalment in this series was different and less light-hearted than the first, but it was beautifully poignant. It wrote about really tough topics in an accessible way and is a great way for kids to learn about Canada’s relationship with our indigenous people, as well as dynamics between groups, and most importantly: the long road to truth and reconciliation.
This is a book I will strongly consider reading with my grade 5-6s in the library this year to engage them in modern issues facing Canadians as well as history.
