(2) 1-3 I Can Read Chapter Book series. Illustrated by Don Bolognese. When the first mate becomes ill, young Abigail finds herself at the wheel of her father's freight boat towing a large, disabled sailing ship up the Hudson River. Avi's generous dose of adventure and suspense, combined with his straightforward yet compelling storytelling style, custom-fit this tale for new chapter-book readers. Bolognese's subdued watercolors create a turn-of-the-century nautical atmosphere.
