Porcupine is the story of twelve-year-old tomboy Jack Cooper (or Jacqueline, as her mother insists on calling her).
When her father is killed by “friendly fire” in Afghanistan, Jack “watches as her mother crumbles under sorrow and depression. Jack and her younger sister and brother, Tessa and Simon, end up across the country, living on a run-down farm in a small town on the Prairies with a great grandmother they didn’t know existed.”
Learn more about Porcupine, today, October 30th, when Meg Tilly guests on Book Bites for Kids at 2:00 central time.
