“Two Times a Traitor is a coming-of-age novel about a boy who inadvertently time-travels back to 1745 where he finds himself in a war. He also finds a father-figure and grows as a person….
The plot of Two Times a Traitor is carefully woven and tension-filled….
Richness of detail, the result of the author’s careful research, helps the reader suspend disbelief and be caught up in the story….
Young readers will identify with likeable Laz and will enjoy the drama and fast pace of Two Times a Traitor.
Recommended.”

“This is a great story. The historical aspects are really good for middle-grade students. Canadian history isn’t taught as much as it should be in school, so this story would be a great supplement for kids.
Though Canada’s 150th anniversary is being celebrated this year, this story demonstrates how Canada’s history goes far beyond 150 years….
This is a great story for middle grade readers!”
