"Maggie and Jennifer Arnold are off to China, encountering both the famous Terra Cotta army and modern thieves who are after something deadly."

Jeremy''s going on more amazing voyages, this time with both Canadian explorers Samuel de Champlain and Jacques Cartier, and also on what could be a deadly boat race in modern-day Australia. Jeremy is back home after a holiday in Toronto with his dad and his dad''s new wife, and he''s also back on his incredible travels into the past. All he has to do is pick up his grandfather''s old magnifying glass, look at a stamp with a ship on it--and instantly he''s on board! And he''s got lots of reasons for wanting to escape. Since he went on his holiday, Jeremy''s mom has a new boyfriend, Ike. It''s her first boyfriend since she divorced Jeremy''s father. Jeremy doesn''t like Ike very much, but he could turn out to be Jeremy''s new dad. In search of escape, Jeremy plunges into new shipboard adventures. He almost gets caught on board Samuel de Champlain''s ship, during its 1606 trip up the St. Lawrence River. He witnesses Jacques Cartier''s turbulent encounters in 1535 with Canada''s original First Nations inhabitants. And, he nearly drowns on a yacht in the infamous Australian Sydney to Hobart race in 1998, during which five boats sink and six people die. Jeremy also runs into his own grandfather (as a young boy) and his own grandson, both travellers from their own times, and they help each other out of dangerous situations.

Victoria Callihoo was born before Canada was a nation, and was a grandmother by the time Alberta became a province. She traveled with her family on the buffalo hunt on a Red River cart when the herds were so numerous they resembled a moving brown sea. She embraced her Metis heritage and shared her stories with her children and her friends. Through her stories, she inspires us with the perspective of a strong woman in the early days of our country. She gives us a window onto the world of the Metis and provides us with an image of what it was like to be a woman during the time of the buffalo hunt.

In this sequel to On Wings of a Dragon, a chill wind is blowing through the skies of the flying ones, and once again the dragon Api''Naga and his companion Kour''el are on a mission: to find the source of the evil that is disturbing their land. Their search will take them back to the island home of Maighdlin - once a simple village girl, now a queen - and to places where they experienced their greatest suffering. And they are not the only ones with unfinished business. Princess Paloma, one of the dead queen Mariah''s banished daughters, has been seen in the Dargon Courtyard, and when Maighdlin and her loyal guardsmen, Brede and Talon, follow her trail, it takes them through the tunnel to the Tower, that brooding edifice that has held so many secret prisoners. There, they are launched into fresh horrors. Queen Mariah - or something like her - has returned; and behind her hovers a force greater and more evil than any of them - dragon or human - has ever seen.
