Synopsis

This book chronicles the week-long voyage of two 15-year-old boys as they set off to explore the Pequonsett River in a homemade boat. Their adventure takes place in the late 19th century, along a brackish tidal river in the midst of transition from a hub of maritime industry to a bustling summer resort area. With a homemade vessel and a desire for exploration, the boys' voyage of discovery reveals the changes taking place both ecologically and socially within their surroundings. Through their journey, the author explores the nature of exploration, the wonder of discovery, and the ever-changing relationship between humanity and the natural world around it.
