With Pipe, Paddle and Song: A Story of the French-Canadian Voyageurs

Rating:
Summary: Waste of paper
Review: This book is a waste of paper and simply repeating the old English racist slurs against French-Canadians. Don't waste your money on this garbage.

Rating:
Summary: Adventure and romance appropriate for teens
Review: This book is one you'll want your teenage son to read and relate to. He'll learn such values as hard work, being dependable and cheerful, fortitude, and saving yourself for the right person.

Two of my favorite quotes from this book are: "Each word must be distinct. It is a courtesy to speak so one can be understood; it is an art so to sing." (The father speaking to the protagonist.)

"He who will not settle for second best but waits for the best will find it waiting for him... Love must be all or it is nothing."

There is plenty of adventure and action in this uplifting book. How knows, it may even kindle a desire to learn French or to go canoeing!
