Dead Man's Rapids: A Blackwater Ben Adventure

191 pp. | Minnesota | April, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-5179-0223-0 $16.95
(3) 4-6 Young Ben (Blackwater Ben) has spent the winter helping his father, the cook at a Minnesota logging camp; now Ben is ready for the adventure of a log drive. Along the way, he faces dangerous rapids--and hungry lumberjacks. Set on the Blackwater River in the late nineteenth century, this story has enough historical detail for school use but also a swift pace supported by the loggers' buoyant stories and antics.
