Water Rat
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Every child in Delaware and beyond should own a copy of this book. We have all grown up hearing about the pirates that threatened Delaware's River and Bays. Here is an exciting adventure story about Mat Burton, a young orphan who, after accidently observing a tavern keeper rob a patron, runs away to live with a prosperous family. Mat protects his new family from pirates and discovers the secret that links his old boss to the pirates. Great story with accurate 18th century details. Takes place along what is now known as "The Coastal Heritage Greenway."
GREAT!

I loved this thoughtful and touching story of the young boy on the river. It brought you right to the time in which it took place.
a real pager turner

Characters the reader really cares about; an action driven plot; good conquers evil. These are the ingredients that make for a great book to read. It is faced paced but carefully crafted to give the reader a flavor of life in 1748 British colonies, not yet known at the United States. We can expect much from Marnie Laired for this is her first book for young readers.
