Blackwater Ben

by William Durbin

I read / wrote about on 9.3.2007 (before I started this blog)

Carver County paperback 245 pages

Genre: YA historical fiction

 

 

Summary: 

Ben has trouble sitting still in school and is thrilled when his dad invites him to work at the lumber camp with him. He's less thrilled when he finds himself as the cookee, his dad's kitchen helper.

 

My reaction:  

Pretty slow, but had some nice points. I liked Charlie & Mrs. Wilson best. Even with a glossary in front, the use of unusual loggers' terminology was confusing.
