Description
This book examines the life and accomplishments of the famed explorer Henry Hudson, who lent his name to several geographic locations in North America.
Quick Summary
Henry Hudson risked everything to find a shortcut through frozen waters, and his name now marks rivers, bays, and a whole sea that bear witness to his daring voyages. Readers will edge their seats as Hudson and his crew battle brutal ice, dwindling food, and a mutiny that leaves them abandoned in the far north, forever changing maps of North America. If your kid loves the mystery and danger of "I Survived" books or the historical thrills of Magic Tree House adventures, they'll be hooked on Hudson's Arctic quest. Perfect for kids ages 9 to 12 in grades four through seven.
