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 pilot took off and piloted the plane for about half a kilometre along the shoreline before making a smooth landing. Emily and Matt are on hand to witness this amazing story of the first independently operated flight in Canada.Ages 6-9.Wishinsky, Frieda is the author of 'Flying High!
