Aggie’s Dream by Donna Mann is the story of Agnes Macphail's years at Owen Sound Collegiate: classes, debates, friendships. Can you imagine her excitement when she entered the grand assembly hall where debaters and orators shared the stage?
This new book shows Agnes Macphail’s determination not to let town ways intimidate her as she moved closer to her dream of teacher training. By doing well academically, playing basketball, and taking part in the Literary Society, she proved she could do anything she set her mind and heart to do.
Donna Mann recreated Agnes Macphail’s childhood in her previous book, Aggie’s Storms, shortlisted by the Word Guild for its 2008 award for young adult non-fiction.
