Call #: FICTION HUS Subjects Ukrainians -- Canada -- Evacuation and relocation, 1914-1920 -- Juvenile fiction.   Immigrants -- Juvenile fiction.   Brothers -- Juvenile fiction.   Missing persons -- Juvenile fiction.   Concentration camps -- Juvenile fiction.   World War, 1914-1918 -- Canada -- Juvenile fiction.   Alberta -- Juvenile fiction. ISBN:  9781553805878 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Fire bird Description:  284 p. ; 19 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "Firebird explores a period in our history--one year in particular (1915-1916)--when a massive number of newcomers were deemed "enemy aliens," arrested and put into internment camps set up all across Canada. Alex Kaminsky, a fourteen-year-old Ukrainian immigrant boy suffers burns to his hands and face when his uncle's farmhouse burns. Rescued by a neighbour, he is tended to by a backcountry midwife before being taken in by a local postmaster. Determined to search for his older brother, an itinerant farm worker (and talented artist) who has disappeared, Alex follows Marco's trail from a Vegreville farm, through Edmonton (where he is taken in by a Norwegian immigrant family), then--on the run from officials--to Calgary and Banff (with the help of a school teacher and his aunt) where he finds his brother close to death in the Castle Mountain Internment Camp. In many ways it is a voyage of discovery for Alex, discovery of the hatred harboured by many for immigrants who once lived in what has become an enemy empire, but also the discovery of those with a strong sense of humanity who decry Marco's treatment and go the extra mile to help the brothers."--From publisher.
