It covers the struggle over possession of a key fort on the Canadian wilderness frontier just before the Seven Years War.

Helping students to visualize the specifics of unfamiliar historical contexts isn't easy. Most kids think, "how much adventure could beaver trapping bring?" Well, now they know - not only that but the book was a catalyst for discovering other adventurers of the era. Check out the Pierre de Troyes raids!

However, I have yet to read one of their titles in this format that didn’t feel slight and leave me wanting more. (Northwest Passage is the best of the lot for satisfaction, in my opinion.) Certainly, at $7 for 80 pages, it’s a better deal than, for example, a $7 64-page Prestige Format DC comic (although those are in color) — but it’s not nearly as satisfying as an $8 200-page Shonen Jump manga.
