Summary:

Jeopardy! super-champ Mattea Roach champions the graphic memoir Ducks by Kate Beaton on the great Canadian book debate.  Ducks is an autobiographical graphic novel that recounts author Kate Beaton's time spent working in the Alberta oil sands. With the goal of paying off her student loans, Beaton leaves her tight-knit seaside Nova Scotia community and heads west, where she encounters harsh realities, including the everyday trauma that no one discusses.
