Flying High!

What teachers are saying about the series: "I love the fact that these are Canadian adventures-kids should know how exciting Canadian history is. Emily and Matt are regular kids, full of curiosity, and I can see readers relating to them" (Jean K., Teacher, Ontario)In the fifth book in this fast-paced series, Matt and Emily witness a historic moment in flight. On Feb. 23, 1909, before a crowd of astonished onlookers, Alexander Graham Bell's Silver Dart took flight. From the frozen Bras d'Or Lake on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, the plane flew for about half a kilometre along the shoreline before making a smooth landing. Emily and Matt are on hand and caught up in the thrill of witnessing this amazing story of first independently operated flight in Canada.Ages 6-9.Wishinsky, Frieda is the author of 'Flying High!
