Soon after moving into the old ancestral house recently purchased by her father, young Alix makes an intriguing discovery. Deep within a dusty hiding place, she finds a letter written 200 hundred years ago! Reading it, she makes the acquaintance of a boy called Mathieu Martin, his father François and his mother Marie. She also learns about the tragic history of the Acadians, who were forced from their homes and deported by the British authorities in 1755. But the letter conceals a far greater surprise.

Nous reviendrons en Acadie!, another marvellous story in the "Atout Histoire" series, offers a colourful account of the period known as the Great Upheaval -- one of the darkest moments in Canada's history. A skilful wordsmith, Andrée-Paule Mignot has composed a narrative that will keep young readers on the edge of their seats. Her characters are enticing and their emotions are vividly conveyed to all who delve into the story. Nous reviendrons en Acadie! is entertaining and informative.
