5/29/2023 0 Comments Two Times a Traitor by Karen BassThe air seemed to push against Laz, as if it didn't want him to return down the tunnel. With every new suggestion of his father, Lazare is reeling with anger so, while visiting the Citadel, Laz takes off on his own. And now, when he'd been saving up for a parkour camp for spring break, Laz is with his parents and younger sister Emeline visiting Halifax. Twelve-year-old Lazare Berenger is still angry with his father who moved the family from Ottawa to Boston while Laz was visiting his Grandmère's farm in New Brunswick the previous summer. But, Karen Bass knows how to seamlessly weave a bit of the unexpected into her fiction, as she did in her suspenseful The Hill(Pajama Press, 2016), and as she does in Two Times a Traitor which blends a contemporary setting with Canada's past in Louisbourg 1745 through the use of time slip. Selected as a Junior Library Guild Selection, Two Times a Traitor may seem a departure for award-winning author of historical fiction, Karen Bass, who won the Geoffrey Bilson Award for her books Graffiti Knight(Pajama Press, 2013) and Uncertain Soldier(Pajama Press, 2015) in consecutive years.
