LitPick Review
OK... heres a basic summary of A Perilous Passage, by B. J. Bayle. This book is set in the New World between the years of 1810-1811. The main character ia a boy named Peter. He suffers from a case of amnesia, and as a result, no one knows him. He meets a man named Boulard. Boulard is an explorer who works for David Thomson. Boulard takes him on a journey to meet his boss, David Thompson, and Peter quickly gets involved with an expedition to find the Columbia River, headed by David Thompson himself. He meets many different Native American tribes and animals as he travels across the continent of America.
Opinion:
This book is a wonderful example of a good adventure book. I felt immersed in the setting, and felt like I was with the characters as they adventured throughout America. The main character is Peter, an understanding boy of 15, who has lost him memory to amneseia. I found this a good weekend read. I would recommend this book to history buffs, and people who enjoy adventure stories.
