The mysterious appearance of an apparently abandoned little girl
inspires a search for her father, who's been accused of murder and
gone missing in the Canadian outback. A red pirogue, a long canoe,
delivers 11-year-old Marion Sherwood to the O'Dell family, who take
her in and make her a place of safety in the Canadian woods. Who
would follow, steal the pirogue and set it on fire? This question,
and the mystery of Marion's missing father, accused of murder and
pursued by the law, are confronted by young Tom O'Dell who pieces
events and clues together like a back woods sleuth. This is a
classic wilderness adventure, told in a brisk, clear style and
replete with a dangerous river journey, misguided lawmen, loyal
friends and even more loyal dogs. The author finds an emotional
heart in his tale as the characters discover their best natures
brought out by standing by one other and protecting Marion. The
skilled adventure storytelling of Theodore Goodridge Roberts is
matched by his clear reverence for the beauty of the Canadian
wilds. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Red Pirogue is both modern and
readable.
