4.0 out of 5 stars An informative, age appropriate bridge into Michigan's past., March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Traders in Time: A Dream-Quest Adventure (Hardcover)

My fourth grade class read this book along with studying about the early people of Michigan. The story proved priceless in terms of authentic learning by putting the expository nature of textbooks into a delightful narrative. The students were intreagued by the "chase" (you'll have to read it), and were able to relate to the main characters Nick and Chris.

A must for teachers and students learning about the transition of Michigan land from the Three Fires (Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi), French, British, to eventually American control.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for "kids" of all ages!, February 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Traders in Time: A Dream-Quest Adventure (Hardcover)

This book holds appeal for school groups ages 3 - 12. I know, I am a teacher and I and many of my colleagues have used this book with great success in our classrooms. The author writes a wonderful story which blends fascinating fact with a story line to hold her audience. Due to the fact that many adults do not know much about this era of history, the story is a great read for the older audience, too.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Traders in Time: A Dream-Quest Adventure (Paperback)

Traders in Time takes place when the fur traders and Indians roamed the land in Michigan. I can't tell you everything, but here's my favorite part. Chris bumps into a tree, and it sends him back in time to an evil fur trader room, with two evil fur traders named Red Devil and Greyeyes. Greyeyes and Red Devil capture Chris. Chris' friend, Nick, has to save him so he goes back in time too and he meets two Indians named Leclair and Maggie. They help Nick save Chris from the evil fur traders. So you have to read the book to find out how Chris and Nick get back home again before their mom comes home from the grocery store!
