It is June 1862. Lisa and her family are now in Kamloops, almost at the end of their journey to Cariboo. But with new baby Rose to take care of, Lisa’s parents are happy to stay put. Lisa can’t believe they want to stay in Kamloops and give up a chance to find gold. Then a letter arrives from her newly married cousin, Archie, and Lisa discovers an alternative. She will go to Cariboo to be with Archie and his new wife, and she’ll find gold all by herself—enough for her whole family! 
Welcome back to Our Canadian Girl, and the continuing adventures of Lisa and many other smart, spirited, and courage-ous girls. They come from different places and times in Canadian history, and each of them meets some ordinary—and extra-ordinary—challenges in her day-to-day life.

The story that I intended to eat them is a fabrication. People will make up anything I did intend to observe them closely under conditions of stress, and more blood would have been very useful to me. In the end, I would probably have let them go back home. Their father, my husband, was making my life as wretched as his own. In the end, it would have been a choice between having the children back and pretending (for a while) to be a happy-ever-after fairy-tale family, or getting rid of all three of them and moving on. from "The Prince" Suddenly I looked down. The current damsel was gloriously attired in something with pearls and ermine trim.I hardly saw her dress. My eyes fixed on her feet. Glass! I could see right through her shoes! I stopped immediately. She almost fell. I steadied her. My eyes had not left her feet as they nestled like twin birds in their delicate little cages. Such feet! Oh, Stephen, you'd have loved them too. How I longed to put them into the footbath, to pour in the perfumed oil! The music stopped. Everything stopped.

Dusa Thrasman is 16 years old and in trouble. Snakes are haunting her dreams, leaving her afraid to sleep, exhausted and ill. Her doctor has tried everything, but the medications only make things worse. Then Dusa sees a television interview with two doctors, the Gordon sisters. Their specialty: curing snake dreamers. Dusa is both frightened and relieved to hear them discuss her illness as if it's a real medical condition, something with a cure! But to be treated she must go with the Gordons to their remote clinic on an isolated Greek island. From the moment Dusa arrives in Greece peculiar things happen. At the clinic, the staff and other patients have run off. The only people left are a boy named Perse and his father, the Gordons' servants. Perse tries to warn Dusa about the Gordons, but his broken English is hard to understand. Can he really mean that they haven't aged in a hundred years? What are they trying to find out when they hypnotize Dusa? And who was their sister, the original snake dreamer, the one they want to make whole again?

The Courtesan's Daughter

Phano is almost 15, the traditional age for a woman to marry in ancient Athens. She is in love with Theo, who is 30–the traditional age for a man to marry. But marriage may not be an option for her. Her stepmother’s enemy, Phrynion, claims that Phano is not really a free woman but a slave who belongs to him, and he is ready to sell her if he can get his hands on her. Phano, her father, and her stepmother must use every resource they have to try to restore her reputation and keep her safe. Even if they can keep Phrynion away, Phano may never be able to marry Theo, whose prominent family would expect a wealthy bride who would bring a good-sized dowry with her. Meanwhile, Athens faces the threat of war from Philip of Macedon. Once she turns 15, Phano must find her place as an adult in the turbulent society of ancient Greece.
