The Adventures of Philippe—A Story of Old Quebec

Absolutely loved this book!

My kids 4&7 thought it was great it spurred a lot of great conversations! There are a few parts that are a bit violent (nothing bad but it nice to know if reading to young children so you can edit if needed). I Love how it ends and the relationship Philippe has with Chikagou! After borrowing my sisters copy I had to buy my own. Worth the shelf space!

I definitely recommend this story. It teaches you a couple different things; like how to make syrup and candy. I like that the boy was good and didn’t do anything bad. One of my favorite parts is when the Iroquois attack a brick house and they talk about the defenses they used to protect themselves. I also like the ending when the parents aren’t sure if they have found their son. I would read this book again. (Book review from 10 year old boy.)

I finished this book and thought it was good. I liked the description because I could see what was going on in my mind. I also liked how it ended.

I bought this from audible. My 7 year old listened to it 3 times within a week. He loves it. I wish the reader would have pronounced the French words correctly, but story was good. I would buy it again.

My 10 & 11 yos just finished this book. My 10 yo daughter gave me a detailed, animated narrative and said she really liked it because “it was so interesting”! My 11 yo son says it was really good and fun to read. I read it awhile back and remember enjoying it as well. It is well written and I enjoyed learning more about the historical backdrop of 17th century Quebec while following an exciting story.
