This news precipitates a nostalgic journey into the past--a childhood spent on a dairy farm in French Québec. \u003cp\u003eAs a sensitive boy secluded from the world, Michel wavers between forbidden exploits and heartbreaking tribulations. Catholic school is a culture shock, but it's the huge pumpkin-shaped teacher with a bad temper who terrorizes his brain most. On the farm, his young life abounds with fun and danger--mad bulls, dynamite sticks, runaway darts, lethal ice cubes, and hazardous farm equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter struggling with a dismal economy, his family is forced to abandon their home. They desert their isolated farmhouse and move into a cockroach-infested apartment in an English-speaking city one mile from the seductive United States border. There, Michel copes with bullies, Russian spies, and ghosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLittle Canuck\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the humorous, and at times, heartrending memoirs of a young boy on his journey through a colorful landscape of emotion.
