About This Book

Three boys undertake a summer expedition through Michigan pine woods, traveling by pack and paddle and camping along streams and lakes. Their journey combines practical woodcraft—canoeing, fishing, tracking, and campcraft—with episodic adventures: an encounter with a suspected wild cat, the pursuit of game poachers, investigation of a reputedly haunted cabin, and demonstrations of survival techniques. Moments of danger and humor emphasize teamwork and resourcefulness, and the series of outdoor lessons and exploits culminates in a dramatic final descent through rapids that brings the voyage to its close.
