Описание: When Jett Ryder arrives at Niagara Falls, he knows he has a lot to prove. Jett needs his next freestyle motocross stunt to be more amazing than ever before. At first, Jett and his best friend Mika are not sure what they should do -- surely Jett cant jump all the way over the falls! Then they discover the nearby statue of Nikola Tesla, one of the worlds greatest inventors. As Jett and Mika learn more about Tesla, they come up with an electric idea. Can Jett pull off this never-been-done-before stunt? Get set . . . for Jett! Jett Ryder is the biggest name in freestyle motocross stunts. Not only can he pull off the biggest air and most death-defying tricks, but his stunts are in extreme places: Niagara Falls, the Space Needle, Mount Etna -- even over the wreck of the Titanic. Plus, he is only twelve years old.

Описание: Can a kite change history? Katie and Homans did. When engineers were faced with the challenge of bridging the vast Niagara Gorge, the solution was a kite-flying contest. After Katie and Homans kite crosses the gorge and wins the contest, construction begins on the first suspension bridge to connect the United States and Canada. The two friends are there as it becomes an important link on the Underground Railroad, helping slaves escape to freedom. Even as her parents try to shield her from the ugly existence of slavery and the dangers of the Underground Railroad, Katie discovers that the scary truth is closer to home than she could have imagined. Kite to Freedom is an action-packed, fictionalized account of actual events that occurred during the construction of the Niagara Falls International Suspension Bridge, which still connects the United States and Canada at Niagara Falls.
