New Releases by Frieda Wishinsky

Join Emily and Matt as they travel back in time on the Canadian Flyer, an antique red sled, to see life in frontier times in Ontario.

A new picture book that addresses the problem of bossy friends and the struggle to stand up to them. Sisters Sandy and Carly always play together, but when Lily Jean moves in next door and joins them, everything changes. Now Lily Jean is calling the shots and ordering Carly to be a baby when they play house and a dog when they play king and queen. Although Sandy defends her littler sister, Carly buckles and accepts her roles. But she doesn''t like it, and finally finds a way to combat Lily Jean''s bullying ways, and turn the tables on her behaviour. Frieda Wishinsky''s simple text packs a poignant punch, as it authentically portrays the world of little girls and their complicated relationships. And Kady MacDonald Denton''s exquisite illustrations help emphasize the underlying lessons about empathy, loyalty, and fairness. This fantastic story will serve as a tool for young children and parents to identify the difference between having fun and being bullied -- or being the bully.

In On the Case, Matt and Emily arrive in Galbraith''s Ferry, British Columbia, in 1888. A gold rush boomtown, Galbraith''s Ferry is simmering with tensions between Aboriginal Peoples and the settlers who encroached on their land trying to strike it rich. Matt and Emily are relieved to find that the imposing figure of Sam Benfield Steele, the burly superintendent of this isolated Wild West outpost, has come riding in to settle tensions and restore order. The Mounties are the only force of law in this place, and it''s said "the Mounties always get their man!" Emily and Matt lend a hand to this legendary figure as he tries to solve a really tough case. But will they be able to stay out of danger, and help the innocent men charged with murder?
