An epic 12,000-mile canoe trip is the subject of this breathtaking father-and-son adventure. From Winnipeg the Starkells paddled south down the Mississippi, along the coast of Central America, inland through the waterways of Colombia and Venezuela, and eventually down the Amazon -- the longest canoe trip ever recorded. Throughout their journey, nature and man provided an endless mosaic of sights and terrifying dangers. They encountered piranhas, wild pigs, and hungry alligators; they were arrested, taken for spies, and set upon by pirates; and they lived through violent hurricanes, food poisoning, and near-starvation. But the greatest test was the love and conflict between father and son as they struggled to complete their odyssey together. This is a voyage that they -- and the reader -- will never forget.
