Nikki Tate returns with her weekly teen-book review at All Points West. This week she reviews two books about growing up during World War Two, including Orca’s, What World is Left by Monique Polak. Download the Real Media Player file here.
In keeping with the theme, The Calgary Herald did an article about war and remembrance books here and the Vancouver Sun did a feature article on Montreal writer Monique Polak’s book What World is Left.
Happy reading (and listening)!

Monique Polak celebrated the launch of her new teen novel, What World is Left, held last Thursday night (October 23) at Marianopolis College in Montreal. Over 250 people attended, many books were sold and the star of the evening was Monique’s mom, Celien Spier (the book is based on Celien’s childhood).
Yesterday Monique and Celien were interviewed on the CBC radio show, All In a Weekend . It is a great interview, outlining some of Celien’s experiences during World War II and how Monique came to the decision to write this book. Listen to it here.
