Iron peggy : a play with study guide / Marie Clements.

100 pages ; 22 cm.

Peg is struggling for survival at her boarding school. Three über-cool "it" girls take aim at Peg and make her life utterly miserable. When her beloved grandmother dies she just wants to disappear. Then an unexpected gift arrives; inside it, Peg finds three cast-iron Canadian soldiers. In despair, she throws them against the floor. How can they help her? They are so small, and the girls' shadow is so big. But, miraculously, the toys come to life as Indigenous snipers from World War I, just in time to wage an epic battle against the girls. A powerful play that will appeal to audiences both young and old, Iron Peggy uses a creative and ever-surprising blend of voices and sceneries to tell this moving story. Commissioned by the Vancouver International Children's Festival.

Vancouver International Children's Festival and Boca del Lupo in association with Red Diva Projects.
