    I am sharing this historical, fantasy novel outloud for anyone to wants to hear it. I've read it, and love Jean Pierre Petite Le Rouge and I want to share his story. The historical aspect is the story's setting - 1792 in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, following the Ottawa River from Montreal. The fantasy? Our hero is a red squirrel, and he tells his story.

    We start...page 1 - 9       pages 10-18
