He brought boys from the Other Place to join in the fun, but Peter's idea of fun is sharper than a pirate’s sword. Because it’s never been all fun and games on the island. Our neighbors are pirates and monsters. Our toys are knife and stick and rock—the kinds of playthings that bite. Peter promised we would all be young and happy forever.

Northland by Porter Fox

Adventure, Autobiography, History, Memoir, Nonfiction, Travel

Northland by Porter Fox eBook Download A quest to rediscover America’s other border―the fascinating but little-known northern one. America’s northern border is the world’s longest international boundary, yet it remains obscure even to Americans.

Travel writer Porter Fox spent three years exploring 4,000 miles of the border between Maine and Washington, traveling by canoe, freighter, car, and foot.
