The theme statement in the book Ghost Canoe is that if you don’t believe someone about something you should go find out and prove what you believe. That is exactly what Nathan McAllister did. The book Ghost Canoe takes place in Washington State in a place called Cape Flattery. It is a cape that is very rocky and is usually very stormy. It has an island just off the shore that is called Tatoosh Island that has a light house that Nathan and his dad run. The book is about a 14-year old boy named Nathan McAllister. A ship crashes just off the shore and Nathan is told that there are no survivors. Nathan does not believe that there are no survivors because there have been footprints on the beach and there have been sightings of a wild hairy man. With Nathans new friend, Lighthouse George who is part of the local Makah tribe, they paddle around to different parts of the island t search for clues on how and why the ship sunk. In that process they found a skeleton in a canoe that leads t many questions that get answered.I thought this was a great book!! I have a hard time thinking about something bad about this book because there really isn’t anything. I really like how in different parts of the book there are parts that leave you wondering how did this happen and who did this, for example when the captain washed ashore with a knife stabbed in his heart. In the book Nathan is extremely curious and in real life I am like that to. If there is something I don’t know that I am interested in, I want to find out. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend and I would rate this book a 9/10.

Well i have been reading a book called Ghost Canoe by Will Hobbs,when i was looking for a book, i wanted a book that interested me and was about the outdoors, so i found this book and read the back of the cover and it sounded good so i started to read it but as i got halfway through the book it started to get boring because the same thing that went on in the beginning happened all throughout the book where he was trying to find out about the murder that happened and find out about the canoe which bored me because it was nothing like what i like to read about.At the beggining of the book their is a boy named Nathan MacAllister that is fourteen years old and he stays with them and learns many new things like how to hunt and fish with the indian tribe. Throughout the book Nathan is waliking around in the sand along the river and finds some footsteps, so he wants to find out where they came from. Also he finds a canoe but its not just an ordinary canoe, its a ghost canoe that has indian artifacts in it. Then Nathan notices a "hairy man" in the village but Nathan has no clue why he is their until he found out that he was looking for the "Ghost Canoe" with artifacts in it that he had found already.In the end Nathan finds out that Jack Khane was the killer in the murder. But I wouldn't recommend this book to a friend of mine just because of how boring this book was.
