Friends Emily Bing and Matt Martinez have discovered that the Canadian Flyer, an antique red sled, and the other intriguing objects they found in the attic of Emily’s new house, hold amazing powers. The magical sled has taken them all over the country and all through time. Along the way, they’ve come face to face with pirates, dinosaurs, prospectors, Vikings, and even Alexander Graham Bell. They’ve spent a day in a pioneer schoolhouse, helped fugitive slaves on the Underground Railroad, sailed the high seas, and scaled the snowy mountain peaks. In this exciting debut title, we meet our very appealing main characters, eight-year-old Emily and nine-year-old Matt, and are transported back in time with them to the year 1577. Matt and Emily find themselves aboard Martin Frobisher’s ship The Aid, anchored in Frobisher Bay. Adventure beckons!
