Richly illustrated with lively drawings by the author, this is the true story of a boy and his adventures. Nonetheless, it is not meant exclusively for young people, nor is it especially for boys. Its objectives are more universal.Soon to become a young man, twelve-year-old Howie yearns for autonomy and seizes the opportunity to use a boat as his vehicle.However, as he embarks on what he hopes will be a voyage toward independence and recognition, he encounters the sorts of winds that don't always obey natural laws, and certainly do not bend to his wishes.Remaining-perhaps willfully-oblivious to the fears of danger and failure that keep many adults from living their own dreams, he arrives at a conundrum that promises to challenge him into adulthood.
