In 1926 a 10-year-old Oklahoma boy dreams of living in in the "north country." Nearly fifty years later, he builds a boat in his backyard and begins a 10,000-mile watery journey to Alaska by way of the Panama Canal. He has never been south of the United States border and has never been on a boat in the open ocean. Enter a humbling world  where crawdads school us, where rivers beckon us, and where the natural  texture of life reveals itself. Craft your passive voice into active voice with this short and simple guide for beginning writers.
 

―Barnes' book also available through online booksellers and your local bookstores―
