Reviews:

 Rescue at Fort Edmonton is part mystery, part thriller, part historical adventure--and a completely engaging read.
--Edmonton Journal
 
 Though Janey causes a couple of catastrophes, she wants to be good, and she cares about the  people she meets. This makes her appealing and makes the reader want to find out what all this    time travel will mean to her. Recommended.
--Denise Moore, CM Magazine

Differently from most time-slip novels in which the protagonists cannot influence their trips to the past but are drawn into them, Janey is pulled into history passively only the first time....Although the reader learns a lot of details about everyday life in the past and different stages of the town of Edmonton, it is Janey's development as a person that is the centre of interest.
--Miriam Richter, Canadian Literature


For Teachers:

The accompanying novel study guide adds depth to a classroom novel study, especially if a field trip to Fort Edmonton Park is planned.
Rita's author presentation, A Novel Tour of Alberta History, combines stories of Alberta's past with tales of her writing process.
Rescue at Fort Edmonton is available to order online in print or e-book format. You can also find the paperback at Edmonton's Tix on the Square. ​
