The Treehouse Voyage
language
( Nov. 25, 2009)
George sets out to help a friend deal with some trouble at home and finds himself with troubles of his own on the far side of the world in a home-made boat. Equipped with a shaky knowledge of marine engineering obtained at the public library, and using materials more suited to a tree house than a boat, George is underway and on the run. He's not running from just the pirates, bureaucratics and other troubles that are normally encountered by the typical young traveler: he's fleeing a walking calamity in the form of a beautiful movie star.
Written by an amatuer yacht designer, boat builder and history buff.
