Canoe Boy

By Chip Chandler

Fourteen year old Jonas Montgomery makes a split second decision that changes his young life forever. He escapes from the constant bickering with his paddling cohorts, but must play the serious game of survival and deal with loneliness. He quickly learns that his small decisions can have important consequences and that luck has a way of foiling his best made plans.Jonas's hardest lessons come later, after he rescues an Inuit girl, Navarana, from her lonely island on the Labrador coast. The two teenagers form a symbiotic and volatile relationship, which gives them the strength to confront their parents, make compromises, and gain control over their lives. Navarana's grandmother, with her wealth of traditional stories, and other friends in Navarana's tiny Inuit village, play crucial roles in helping the two teens to realize their goals.
