My Grade 5 teacher read the book to us in class (based on the actual family massacre) during the first half of the year. Still remember that. http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/...5249-item.html
Haven't seen the series so not sure if it reflects the original story or not
You should look into TBD, and let us know if it does represent the series at all. If it does, I wouldn't mind buying the book and reading it.
