Eleven-year-old Hattie disguises herself as a boy and joins her father piloting a raft down the Delaware River. By the time they finish the dangerous journey and sell the logs, father and daughter have bridged the emotional gulf that opened when Hattie's mother died. Set in the late 1800s, Clark's novel is a clear and readable picture of the rafting era.
