Based on a True Story Contest Winner

Without further ado, here is the winning story:

Congratulations to Joah! He will receive a signed copy of Sergeant Billy from author Mireille Messier as well as $50 worth of Penguin Random House Canada Young Readers books.

• Malala’s Dream by Ashley
• The Childhood Of An Author by Sumal
