Dear Canada: Whispers of War

Title: Whispers of War
Author: Kit Pearson
Series: Dear Canada
Diary of:  Susanna Meritt

As war against the United States and Great Britain starts, Susanna, sister and her mother are attempting their best to survive while the men are out fighting. Susanna gets even more worried for the safety of her brother and father who are fighting as news of various battles reaches them. She's also concerned about her best friend- Abbie Seabrook. Abbie's family is American and do not want to go to war against their home country. 


This book is presented as the diary of Susanna Merritt, an 11 year old girl. It takes place in Niagara, Upper Canada in the summer of 1812.

Definitely one of my favourite Dear Canada books. I would recommend this book to anyone of any age who thinks history is boring and would like a better way of learning about it rather than sitting in history class and taking notes. It was great way of learning about the War of 1812 from the point of view of an 11 year old. I would give this book a 9/10.
