Since discovering the Canadian Flyer, a magical timetraveling sled, in Emily#146;s attic, Matt and Emily have met fearsome pirates in Frobisher Bay and outrun dinosaurs in the Alberta badlands. In iCrazy for Goldi, Emily and Matt fly to the Yukon. It#146;s the late 1800s, and gold rush fever has taken hold. But as Emily and Matt soon find out, the quest for gold is difficult and dangerous. First, they must make the long and grueling climb up an icy mountain. Then, they must survive a perilous trip by boat down the rough Yukon River rapids into Dawson City. It#146;s a test of strength, bravery and quick wits. Will they find gold or lose their shirts?#160;divbrdivdivIn iCrazy for Goldi, the third book in the popular Canadian Flyer Adventures series, author Frieda Wishinsky weaves wellresearched and accurate historical facts into her compelling, kidfriendly storytelling, while Dean Griffith#146;s evocative illustrations situate readers perfectly in place and time.
