Description

Young Henry and his dog, Laird Angus McAngus, are brave explorers. One day, they decide to find an ocean. They pack Henry's explorer's kit and an old flag made from a shirt, say farewell to his mother, and set off. They find the Orinoco River, trek through a jungle, and ride in a canoe. Unfortunately, the canoe capsizes, leaving them stranded on an island. Henry and his dog must use their wits to survive. Will they ever be rescued? By Mark Taylor. Illus by Graham Booth. 48 pgs, sc. ~ Lisa

"Who knows?" replied Henry. "It could take a year!"And it might have. For like many explorers of oceans, Henry and Angus were cast up on island with no escape. But good explorers are prepared for everything. And these two proved more than equal to the dangers they met, though there were some very tough moments.
Publisher's Description of Henry the Castaway
Henry and his dog, Laird Angus McAngus, were fearless explorers. One morning they set out to find an ocean. They took along Henry’s explorer’s kit and a special new flag from an old shirt.

“It may be a long and dangerous trip,” he told his mother as they left.

“I hope it won’t take all day,” she said.

“Who knows?” replied Henry. “It could take a year!”

And it might have. For like many explorers of oceans, Henry and Angus were cast up on island with no escape. But good explorers are prepared for everything. And these two proved more than equal to the dangers they met, though there were some very tough moments.
