Snagged and Sunk; Or The Adventures of a Canvas Canoe - Risking Rapids: A Canoeing Adventure Tale

Harry Castlemon

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Snagged and Sunk; Or, The Adventures of a Canvas Canoe," Harry Castlemon employs vivid narrative techniques to weave a rich tapestry of adventure that captures the essence of 19th-century American outdoor life. This novel navigates the trials and tribulations of young protagonists as they embark on thrilling canoeing escapades, navigating not just rivers but the tumultuous waters of friendship and personal growth. Castlemon's literary style is approachable yet lively, embodying a robust, descriptive prose that resonates with both youth and adult readers, and it speaks to the burgeoning outdoor culture of the time, reflecting societal shifts towards nature exploration and leisure activities. Harry Castlemon, an influential figure of the late 1800s, was deeply inspired by his own love of nature and adventure, and his experiences informed his writing. As a former riverboat pilot and avid outdoor enthusiast, Castlemon sought to inspire a sense of adventure in a young audience, blending entertainment with moral lessons. His works often reflect his passion for youth and the importance of rugged individualism, traits that resonate strongly in this narrative. I wholeheartedly recommend "Snagged and Sunk" to readers who cherish adventure tales entwined with themes of camaraderie, resilience, and the joys of the great outdoors. Castlemon's ability to engage the imagination while imparting valuable life lessons makes this book a timeless treasure for adventurers of all ages.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The #1 Bestselling series!

DAWN OF THE CHOSEN is book #7 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)!

In DAWN OF THE CHOSEN, a mysterious crystalline plague begins spreading across Escalon, leaving victims marked with slowly spreading fractal patterns that promise a lingering death. Intent on finding its source, Queen Kyra must abandon her newly liberated kingdom despite being heavily pregnant with twins.

Her desperate quest takes her beyond the troll lands of Marda into a barren wasteland ruled by giants, where shocking truths await her about her dynasty's connection to both light and shadow. In an ancient tomb, Kyra receives a devastating prophecy about her unborn twins—one of goodness and light, and the other of darkness and shadow.

The birth of her twins triggers ancient magic that raises a crystal fortress from the glaciers, attracting an immortal adversary and establishing a dangerous separation that will shape the destiny of the kingdoms.

With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.

Future books in the series are also available!
