On Thin Ice

About the Book

"Can you come skating?" He smiled cheerfully. "The river is frozen solid." He kept his eyes on Doug, seemed to hope that he would agree to come with him. Doug hesitated. He took a look at his woodpile. "If we start right away we might be able to skate all the way to Ipswich," continued Jack. Skate all the way to Ipswich? Doug had never heard of anyone skating that far. What an adventure. He forgot all about splitting wood.

Set in the 1930's, this book depicts the life, times and adventures of a teenage boy growing up in the Massachussets countryside.
