Books like September Island by Rosalie K. Fry
Children can easily recognize themselves and their aspirations in the delightful stories of Rosalie Fry, and many will identify themselves with Martin, aged eleven, who had long planned to be an explorer. His father had inspired him with his description of that 'moment of delight' that awaits the discoverer who is prepared to endure hardship and danger. Martin therefore kept his haversack stocked for the event, including maps, a notebook and a compass. The time came when he found himself on holiday in a district of sea, rivers, woods and sandhills -- explorer's territory without a doubt. It looked as if opportunity was beckoning!
