Brave kids have lived on the islands off British Columbia’s coast for thousands of years. Now it’s their turn to tell their stories. Join a few unforgettable kids as they outrun a cougar on Salt Spring Island, wade through the rising waters of Port Alberni’s tsunami, stare down a sea monster in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, swing from ropes on the highest mast of a sailing ship, search for ghosts at Hatley Castle, and stand guard for Luna the Whale. And that’s just the beginning! With twenty-two stories told by real-life children of all backgrounds—from ancient times until today—Island Kids is your whirlwind tour of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands as you’ve never seen them before.
Dive into Courageous Kids stories and take Island Kids along with you on your next adventure. Carefully researched. Dramatically told.
