Safety is downriver--but first there's trouble ahead.
As soon as Dewey Martin sees the Indian creeping toward the cabin--and
toward his unsuspecting grandmother--he knows what to do: knock him down
and take off before the rest of the raiding party arrives. The only
means of escape is Dewey's homemade raft, and lying in its path are
rapids, wolves, Indians, and forty miles of uncharted river. Can a boy
who's never manned an oar and an old frontierswoman be the first to make
it down Trouble River?
"[An] original, suspenseful story of pioneer life, enlivened by
touches of humor and vivid characterizations."--Booklist
