Evan Wall is a bright, mischievous 19-year-old and self-proclaimed ‘tough guy’ from the small town of Shellbrook, Saskatchewan whose only concerns are football, engineering college and partying. In 2016, a severe car accident and resulting traumatic brain injury bring his carefree life to a screeching halt.

After six months of intensive hospitalization and physiotherapy, Evan returns to a very different world- a world in which his coordination and speech have been irrevocably damaged. Now visibly disabled and facing a new phenomenon, ableism, Evan 's football team nickname 'Brick Wall' takes on new meaning, and Evan finds out how tough he can really be.

“From the moment I first met Evan in the early days of his journey with brain injury, it struck me as a story that needed to be told.”

When their friends, Kami and Eddie Mark, accidentally fall into the time-travelling tunnels below Moose Jaw, fourteen-year-old Andrea and her ten-year-old brother Tony have no choice but to go back in time to rescue them. In that dank, dark underground, they learn of harsh working conditions being forced on Chinese immigrants, and Kami and Eddie are now among them! Can Andrea and Tony find enough money to pay the Chinese Head Tax the Canadian government has imposed on their friends? What risks must be taken to save Kami and Eddie and get safely back to the present?

This updated third book in the bestselling Canadian children’s adventure series features modernized language, 12 black and white illustrations, Historical Notes, Useful Resources, Discussion Questions, and a Get Creative section.

I have long been fascinated 
by ravens.
The way their calls spread 
through the forest like a magic 
cloak. The hollow bamboo call, 
the dripping water call, the 
knock on wood, the gargle, the 
gurgle, the kraa, and the wow!

Among these sticks 
and bones, may you 
discover a shining 
treasure of your own.

About The Book:

One day while walking in the woods, Allison 
Douglas-Tourner came across a raven harvesting sticks for his nest, dropping them into a 
pile to use later, along with a few small bones. 
The experience became a poem. 
Gathered here is a collection of “sticks and 
bones” from moments in the poet’s life, each 
giving the imagination room to breathe—for 
that is the true magic of haiku

Written by internationally published 
British Columbia poet

MURIEL A. JARVIS has seen many changes in Saskatchewan since her birth on the Prairies in 1920: the Saskatoon City Hospital is now a gleaming structure of steel and glass with ten floors and a central transparent elevator, a transformation from the brick structure where she trained and worked as a young nurse in the 1940s. Health care too has changed a great deal since then; nursing has been transformed, and the status of women revolutionized.

The inspiring story of a girl from Kenaston, Saskatchewan, who had a dream...And her dream changed a province.
