Description
Eleven-year-old Thomas James Brampton had no idea he would travel the world. Nor did he know he would be shot at, caught in an avalanche, confuse some politicians, nearly get beaten up, or come too close to a water buffalo-a dead water buffalo. He didn't know about any of the things that were going to happen to him one warm summer day in July. Neither did his sister Claire. "My fifth and sixth grade students got excited whenever I told them we were going to read another chapter of Transported- they found the writing engaging, exciting, and humorous. They learned about and discussed everyday issues within a wide variety of imaginative and interesting settings, and made meaningful reflections about their own lives." - Laura Nicholson, Teacher, Calgary, AB "Transported offers a rich, descriptive vocabulary. Students love this book, relate to the real life experiences, and feel personally connected. As the story unfolds, readers witness the development of social responsibility and the importance of making good life choices." - Jane Snowsell, Teacher/Librarian, Penticton, BC "As a parent, grandparent, former teacher, and current home school facilitator, I am delighted to recommend Transported. The experiences of Thomas and Claire add excitement and anticipation to the educational value of the story. To top it off, its wholesome values make this a must-read- high on the list of family read-aloud books. Children of many ages will love it, and want more!" - Kathy Snider,Red Deer, AB ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Paul Hankins is a home school dad who lives in Central Alberta with his wife Brenda, their eight children, his mother-in-law, and their dog Scotty McPhedran.
