A time-crossing adventure through Canadian history and tradition

Sarah and Mattie’s journey from 2011 to 1911 brings them to New Iceland near Gimli, Manitoba, where they meet Cree boy Willow Walker. A magical cave that preserves human history through picture writing sets the siblings and Willow on a mission to recover stories guarded at rock-painting sites across the Canadian Shield. The adventure blends fantasy elements—including a talking tree and a flying canoe—with encounters connected to Cree, Icelandic, and Ojibwe cultures. Its historical setting and journey structure give the novel a way to introduce Canadian places and cultural traditions through an imagined quest.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

Join fourteen-year-old Sarah and her eleven-year-old brother Mattie as they journey one hundred years back in time. As they enter a magical cave Sarah, Mattie and their grandfather are mysteriously transported from Iceland in 2011. They arrive in New Iceland, near Gimli, Manitoba. The year is 1911. While exploring, they meet a fourteen-year-old Cree boy named Willow Walker and his First Nations family. The three adventurers stumble upon the CAVE OF JOURNEYS. This magical place records the chapters of humankind through picture writing. Sarah, Mattie and Willow Walker meet an ancient oak tree who recruits them to retrieve original stories of Canadian history. Their whirlwind adventure in a flying canoe takes them to four locations. The youth rush to visit Elders entrusted to guard rock paintings at sites throughout the Canadian Shield. They have four days to accomplish their goal in a race against time. CAVE OF JOURNEYS, a juvenile fiction novel, combines legend with fantasy. Similar to Alice in ALICE IN WONDERLAND the youth face real issues in a world that combines enchantment and fantasy with reality. Is this world, with oversized creatures, wise Elders and a talking tree real? Is Willow Walker real? Or is it all part of a world where legends abound? Join Sarah, Mattie and Willow Walker on their journey as they discover stories rich in the culture and traditions of Cree, Icelandic and Ojibwe people.
