keep a record of interesting things I have read

another reading goal on my list, I’m going to call this one done – that way, I can still be on the team and add entries, but it will be off my 43 list.

This book by John Wilson is one that C is reading for social studies. I read through it so I’d be able to help him with the questions, but it was rather a neat book.

It’s about the son of a modern day archaeologist who is looking for evidence that Europeans had visited Hudson’s Bay before Henry Hudson. The son, Al, goes off for a canoe ride one foggy morning, and while lost in the fog, time travels back 400 years to encounter Henry Hudson himself.

I thought it was a rather enjoyable way to present historical information about one of Canada’s early explorers. After I finished it, I found myself wanting to read more about Henry Hudson – not sure if the book will have the same effect on C!
