It is the summer of 1842 and once again Jonathan Hamilton is working with his uncle on the towpaths of the Erie Canal. He has many adventures during this trip aboard the Deliverance, including befriending a runaway named Natty; discovering a stowaway on board; solving a mystery at a graveyard; dealing with a canal bank wash away; as well as others. Join in the adventures as you read along. (180pp. illus. Authors, 2008.)
