Johnny Delivers, by : "Being the firstborn child is never easy; there is a level of expectation which gets thrown upon us, and we tend to take our role in the family very seriously." Ng "gives an exciting, emotional, and sometimes hilarious account of what it means to grow up 'different' while trying to fit in, make good choices and hold a family together. This coming-of-age story really has it all – a hero, a villain, a sidekick, and a moral battle to be fought.” Guernica Editions https://www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/johnny-delivers-by-wayne-ng
The Road to Goderich, by , shows the social class differences of the early 1800s in Scotland. When protagonist "Callandra reaches Goderich, we see another social class with the early settlers in Canada who were just trying to make ends meet. This book also discusses the unrest in Upper Canada surrounding the colonial authorities and the beginning of the Ontario Rebellion of 1837 [and] the expectations placed upon young women during that time and the hardships they faced in a male-dominated society."
