On their sixth trip into the past, Emily and Matt are on the Saskatchewan prairies in the late 1800s finding out what life was like for the early settlers of Canada's midwest. The children have a chance to experience the close community of the one-room schoolhouse and even help build a sod hut.
Like in all the other Canadian Flyer books, children and teachers will love the extra notes in the back.

"I would like to tell the author that her book is amazing, incredible, awesome, and a million times better than any book I've ever read." (Maria)
