Leon & Chris
In an age of poverty and war, life was not easy for anyone, not even in the humble land of Prince Edward Island.
Christopher Livingston must pull duties far beyond what should be required of a twelve-year-old, now that his father is an ocean away from him.
The stress of the Great Depression is fogged only when Christopher meets a young Raccoon boy, about his age, wandering in the woods.
Christopher, his father, and their Island will never be the same, due to a small amount of change, in a relatively small amount of time.

Author Alex Donahue asked us to read his children's book about two young boys living on Prince Edward Island during the tail end of the Great Depression and the beginning of World War II. Alex hoped we'd be surprised by his book and, well, we certainly were in some ways.
Leon & Chris has a lovely cover and a solid core story that handles serious topics with a genuinely sweet, childlike tone. However, its potential is diminished by some tedious sections and mechanical writing errors. This could be a great book for young readers once it's refreshed with a serious edit.
