Solid read aloud with the Husband. One more towards our “1000 Books to Read Before You Die” list. Some of the language is dated in how it talks about people from other cultures. But mostly it’s an amazing, true story about 6 Norwegians, a balsa wood raft, and the vast ocean.

Two of my teens have read it —one for his geography class and the other just for fun because he likes ocean and exploration books— and liked it as well.
