	Additional Information


	It all started when Jeremy opened that stamp book that his great grandmother sent. He picked up the magnifying glass for a quick look, and the next thing he knew, he was standing on the deck of the ship! And it wasn't just one stamp that worked, it happened again. His first trip is to a paddlewheel steamer called The Northcote, which just happens to be in the middle of a battle during the Northwest Rebellion. On his next trip, aboard a ship called The Nonsuch, he's sailing through the icy waters of Hudson Bay. Jeremy realizes that he really is a "ghost" on these trips -- he is invisible, although he can touch and move things -- and on both ships he manages to save the day. This only adds to the sailors' already-powerful suspicion about ghosts. Also, his real body stays at home, holding a magnifying glass, looking at a stamp, while he's off travelling. Things start to get complicated -- a teacher is super impressed at Jeremy's sudden startling knowledge about these historical events.
