Reading Log: Cora Taylor uses an exciting anecdote in order to take readers on an adventure in history! I loved the stamps in the corners and the old script chapter numbers. It transports the readers in time just like the story! Right from the beginning you are sucked into this easy to read adventure and it makes you want to cancel your plans and until your done! No wonder Cora is a beloved Canadian children's author!
