"What made this First of July celebration extra-special for eleven year old David Graham and his younger sister Janet? Was it the wonder of seeing Professor Fitzpatrick float up into the sky in a balloon? Or the thrill of meeting the great Sir John A. Macdonald? David's fight with the bald-headed bully? Or Janet's near fall under the wheels of a fast-movin g carriage? These events were only part of that memorable Dominion Day in the 1880s." Well written Canadian story for children by the author who wrote many of the "Hardy Boys" stories. 99p. illus. B & W. Youth Fiction Canada Canadian Fiction Youth Fiction
