Teachers and librarians had an advance look at the Canadian Flyer Adventures before publication. Here’s what some of them had to say:
“Great Canadian historical content, excellent illustrations, and superb closing historical facts (I love the kids commentary!)”
~ Sara S. – School Librarian, Ontario
“As a teacher-librarian I welcome this series with open arms. It fills the gap for Canadian historical adventure at an early reading level! There’s fast action, interesting, believable characters, and great historical information woven into the story—this makes it a sure success!
~ Margaret L. – Teacher/Librarian, British Columbia
"When I shared this book with a grade 1-2 teacher at my school, she was impressed with the concept and enjoyed the book, noting that a number of her students would find it particularly appealing because of the action-adventure and short chapters.”
~ Heather J. – Teacher, Nova Scotia
“The Canadian Flyer Adventures will transport young readers to different eras of our Canadian past with their appealing topics. Thank goodness there are more artifacts in that old dresser… they are sure to lead to even more escapades.”
~ Sally B. – Teacher/Librarian, Manitoba
“Newly independent readers will fly through each Canadian Flyer Adventure, and be asking for the next installment! Children will enjoy the fast paced narrative, the personalities of the main characters, and the drama of the dangerous situations the children find themselves in.”
~ Pam L. – Librarian, Ontario
