Cutting through this forbidding landscape is a river no explorer, trapper,… or canoeist had left any record of paddling. It was this river that Adam Shoalts was obsessively determined to explore. It took him several attempts, and years of research. But finally, alone, he found the headwaters of the mysterious river. He believed he had discovered what he had set out to find. But the adventure had just begun. Bestseller. Winner of the 2016 Young Authors Award. 2015.
