Letters from Johnny by Wayne Ng
Letters from Johnny is the story of 11-year-old Johnny Wong, who is living in Toronto in the 1970s on the brink of the FLQ crisis. Johnny lives with his mother, a Chinese immigrant, and develops a fatherly relationship with a local draft dodger. But when the children’s services come, questioning Johnny’s mother, and a neighbour is found murdered, Johnny begins to think that his little family is threatened — and it’s up to him to protect them.
