Twelve-year-old Katie is not happy about moving to the Yukon or having six-year-old Siggi for a foster brother until her time-travelling horse takes them to Victorian England and she must rescue them from being forced to work in a mine. Elaine Breault Hammond, the author of the best-selling The Secret Under the Whirlpool, Under the Waterfall, and Explosion at Dawson Creek, has lived in six provinces as well as in the United States. She and her family lived on Prince Edward Island. Now she divides her time between PEI in the summertime and Kingston, Ontario, the rest of the year, where she is close to four of her seven grandchildren.
