Rick Dale, A Story of the Northwest Coast

Name: Rick Dale, A Story of the Northwest Coast
Author: Kirk Munroe

A privileged youth abandons his comfortable life to prove himself and escape a humiliating nickname, then joins life at sea along the Pacific Northwest coast. He forms a close bond with a resourceful first mate and faces shipboard mishaps, smugglers, a revenue-cutter capture and escape, and time spent among indigenous camps and logging communities. Perilous climbs, inventive solutions, rescues, and narrow survivals punctuate the narrative, testing loyalty, courage, and ingenuity and guiding the protagonist from an uncertain boy toward practical competence and manhood.
