The 59-year-old was taken from his family in Northwestern Ontario by the Children’s Aid Society as a toddler and was later adopted by a family in southern Ontario.
Wagamese says he didn’t expect his novel to resonate with high school students.
He has a grade 9 education yet has gone on to write 14 books.
Wagamese says he brings something of himself to all of his stories.
