"Pine Woods is a wonderful read for youth and adults alike! On one page you are re-living life in Sheboygan, Wisconsin during 1954 - turn the page and you are sailing on Lake Michigan a century earlier in 1854!
In this historical novel, author Richard Kirsch writes of lazy summer days and family life as seen through the eyes of 10-12 year olds. The reader learns nautical jargon 19th century children would know if they happened to live on a transport sailing vessel like the soon-to-be shipwrecked, Christina Nilsson. The plot thickens, the setting changes yet again. This time through time travel, the reader visits characters in a make-believe world called, Urgin.
Three cheers for Richard Kirsch on his first novel filled with high seas adventure, suspense of the unknown, and a down home feeling of the mid-west in 1954."
