Ghost Canoe
Acerca de este libro electrónico
Award-winning author and master of adventure Will Hobbs
delivers a breathless mystery that will have readers on the edge of their
seats!
After
a sailing ship breaks up on the rocks off Washington's storm-tossed Cape
Flattery, Nathan McAllister, the fourteen-year-old son of the lighthouse
keeper, refuses to believe the authorities, who say there were no survivors.
Unexplained footprints on a desolate beach, a theft at the trading post, and
glimpses of a wild mystery man convince Nathan that someone is hiding in the
remote sea caves along the coast.
With
his new friend, Lighthouse George, a fisherman from the famed Makah whaling
tribe, Nathan paddles the fierce waters of the Pacific searching for clues. And
once alone in the forest, Nathan may have found some: a ghostly canoe and a
skeleton that may unlock the mystery of ancient treasure, betrayal . . .and
murder.
This thrilling middle grade adventure from Will Hobbs, a former teacher and the author of beloved books such as Far North, was chosen for Georgia's Children's Book Award Masterlist.
