Advance Praise for The Hat
“Wonderful story! Sure to be a favorite of all who read it.” – Hugh R. MacDonald, author of Trapper Boy and Us and Them

“It’s a great novel that should be translated into French.” Claude DeGrâce, Managing Director, Société Promotion Grand-Pré.

"It's a wonderful book ... which reminds us that the majority of the people deported were children. This book will be enjoyed by both children and adults; it palpably makes one feel the horror and helplessness felt by the victims. Maddeningly for the boy, no one—not even his loving grandfather—could prevent the Deportation." Warren Perrin, Louisiana lawyer and champion of Cajun history and Acadiana

A. J. B. Johnston holds the reader close in this moving novel about the Acadian Deportation from Grand-Pré in 1755. The main characters, Marie and Charles, are fictional, but the story is based on well-documented historical facts. "The Hat" is a fresh, 21st-century interpretation that is both poignant and filled with suspense.

The story begins on a gusty August morning, when 14-year old Marie and her 10-year old brother Charles spot sails on the horizon. Not long after, foreign soldiers enter their village. Day by day, Charles and Marie—and everyone else in the village—live with building suspense. They watch with bewilderment, then deepening concern, as men-at-arms from another land take over the local church and build a fort. What is going on?

With each passing day, the complications and troubles mount. Everything in the village is upended. Marie and Charles are only kids, but they have to find ways to deal with the difficult situations in which they find themselves. They have to be wise and brave beyond their years.

A. J. B. Johnston is an award-winning Canadian historian and novelist. For his books on French colonial history in Atlantic Canada, France made him a chevalier of its Ordre des Palmes Académiques. His first foray into fiction was the Thomas Pichon Novels, which explore ambition, longing and betrayal in 18th-century France and England.
