Book Description
It looked like an ordinary root cellar--And if twelve-year-old Rose hadn't been so unhappy in her new home, where she'd been sent to live with unknown relatives, she probably would never have fled down the stairs to the root cellar in the first place. And if she hadn't, she never would have climbed up into another century, the world of the 1860s, and the chaos of Civil War--
Scott Cameron's remarkable illustrations bring the past and a whole cast of delightful characters to life in this magnificent book.
Card catalog description
Twelve-year-old orphan Rose, sent to live with unknown relatives on a farm in Canada, ventures into her aunt's root cellar and finds herself making friends with people who lived on the farm more than a century earlier.

“The Big Book moves…across the continent from east to west…Bill Slavin’s inimitable watercolours, supplemented by black-and-white and colour photographs, add their own touch of whimsy to this excellent addition to school or home bookshelf.”
–The Globe and Mail

Grade 2-4-In this picture book, ten-year-old Charlotte Haines's life is torn asunder at the end of the American Revolutionary War. Her bullheaded father, a confirmed rebel, can hardly wait for the last of the Loyalists to leave the country. That includes his brother and his family. Charlotte isn't supposed to have anything to do with her two cousins, but the girls have maintained their friendship at school and in church. When it is time for them to leave New York City for the wilds of Nova Scotia, Charlotte disobeys her father and spends their last day with them. She never dreams that his reaction will be so extreme; the angry man forbids her to enter his house, and says he never wishes "to see her traitorous face again." She boards a ship the following day with her aunt, uncle, and cousins and never sees... |

Grades 3-6--Lunn's well-written story of Secord's 19-mile journey to inform British Lieutenant FitzGibbon of the American plan for a surprise attack during the War of 1812 has atmosphere and a dramatic sense of foreboding. Newhouse's folk-art illustrations are a perfect match for this tale of an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances. The oil paintings of the Secord farm in Queenston, Upper Canada, clearly reveal how the family was "in the thick of the war right from the start"-with enemy lines right in their backyard. The battle scenes are visually arresting as the wounded soldiers and falling maple leaves are bathed in a bright-red hue. A sepia-toned, illustrated map outlines her trip. An epilogue describes what happened to Secord and her family after the battle at Beaver Dams. More insight and... |

Book Description
“Ever since we’ve had this doll,” Elizabeth said hesitantly, “we’ve had funny things happen – the same dreams and knowing things and stuff like that.”
Twins Jane and Elizabeth are twelve years old and have outgrown dolls. Nevertheless, on a cold wet spring Saturday they find themselves in an antique store, inexplicably drawn to a small, tattered old fashioned doll. Even the owner of the store seems to understand that the doll somehow belongs to the girls.
Once the twins buy the doll, stranger and stranger things begin to happen, and a young girl from the past seems to be calling out to them. The search to discover the history of the little doll brings the twins terrifyingly close to the world of the supernatural as they finally solve a tantalizing... |
