(1) K-3 A woman embarks on a three-hundred-mile canoe journey down a river. She paddles alone through rapids, portages around waterfalls, and sleeps outside every night. Cooper's watercolor and pencil sketches illuminate the details with a rhythmic mix of vignettes and landscapes. The present-tense text focuses on the journey rather than the destination; we become so absorbed in the experience that we notice every detail by the end. An author's note and more about the Hudson River are appended. Reading list.
