Re: ELEM: 2 requests for titles

If your 6th grade student is a fairly strong reader, have him/her try
"Paddle to the Amazon" by Don Starkell.  It is the true story of a father
and son who paddle a canoe from Winnepeg, Canada to the mouth of the Amazon
River.  It took them more than 2 years and the book came out of the author's
journal.  He is not a great writer, but he tells the story simply and from
his own point of view which made it (for me) captivating.
