Joe and Lilly are headed out once again with the Red Dragon on an adventure through time. They're going to 1851 to learn more about clipper ships and speed records. On board with Captain Perkins Cressy, they see what it takes to get a ship from New York to San Francisco--by going around South America. Will they be able to set a new speed record?
In this, the second Time Dragon book, things are getting even more specific and fact-based. Neubecker is teaching kids about an actual captain and crew members who set the speed record for ship travel. Which is, in a word: cool! I'm a total fan of these books. There's a touch of humor (I wish there was more, but that's just me) with a lot of information. Plus, it makes librarians look cool. So I'd recommend them for sure. It's a good book to read before Magic Tree House.
