The Summer of the Marco Polo by Lynn Manuel, illustrated by Kasia Charko

From the back of the book:
In the summer in 1883 a famous clipper ship ran aground off the coast of Prince Edward Island near the home of a young girl named Lucy Maud Montgomery. Lucy Maud, who became one of Canada's most beloved writers, wrote about the grand adventure in her journals and reflected on it years later in her notebooks. The town of Cavendish and Lucy Maud herself were transformed by the event and the exciting summer that followed.
