About This Book

A group of young campers embark on a summer expedition along the St. Lawrence River, combining fishing, canoeing, and campcraft with episodes of danger and sudden challenge. The narrative moves episodically from leisurely sport and moonlight sails to a squall, a perilous run through rapids, a missing camper and an urgent search, and a tragic aftermath that prompts reflection. Interwoven historical sketches recall the river’s early explorers, while scenes of rivalry, resourcefulness, and friendship lead toward competitive races and a measured conclusion to the voyage.
