The exciting debut title in the Canadian Flyer Adventures series introduces Emily and Mat--and the magical antique sled they discover in the attic of Emily's new home. Suddenly they find themselves in 1577 aboard Martin Frobisher's ship The Aid, anchored in Frobisher Bay. Can pirates be far? As the adventure unfolds, resourceful Emily draws in her sketchbook while inquisitive Matt reports into his portable digital recorder.
The fast-paced text and historical tidbits are complemented by meticulously researched illustrations that situate the reader perfectly in the place, time and action.
Ages 6-9.
