About this title

Synopsis

Off for Labrador follows a Boston family as they answer an enticing ad for a summer voyage “for shooting, fishing, exploring, and pleasuring.” A practical father, a bustling household, and curious children set the stage for a real-life adventure at sea.

When a sudden shipwreck tests their courage, the story centers on resilience, teamwork, and the bonds that keep a family together in the face of danger.

Set among a crew of helpers and a sturdy schooner, the tale blends daily life at home with the thrill and uncertainty of exploration. Readers meet a mix of dependable adults and adventurous youngsters as they navigate fog, cold weather, and the practicalities of survival. The narrative leans into practicality, humor, and a steady, hopeful tone suitable for young readers who enjoy nautical escapades.

Meet a family and their circle of mentors who plan a seaside expedition.
Follow the voyage, the arrival of fog, and the moment of emergency at sea.
See how resourcefulness and cooperation help them weather the wreck and begin a new chapter.
Experience a mix of home life, travel, and frontier-style adventure on the Labrador coast.

Ideal for readers who like wholesome, action-minded stories about boys and families on a maritime journey.
