Debon's wonderful bold gouache and mixed-media paintings...captivate with their detail of fort life, their freshness perfectly attuned to this tale's tone. * Globe and Mail * Pendziwol gives just enough detail for a real sense of this long-ago way of life....nicely abetted by Debon's gouache and mixed-media spreads. * Horn Book * The Red Sash is...a welcome curriculum resource... * Quill & Quire *
