Summary

"From award-winning author and illustrator Scot Ritchie comes this lively look at the journey of a West Coast tugboat towing a log boom, as seen through the eyes of a young boy. "I'm helping Dad on the tugboat. We're going to tow a log boom to the sawmill on the river... I look out for ferries and other boats in the harbor... Then I see it -- a deadhead!" Follow a child and his father through their workday on a tugboat on the West Coast as they watch a log boom being made, then tow it to a mill upriver. The pair must steer clear of other ships, race against the tide and weather a storm along the way."--
