Ten Days in the North Woods by Hope Rowan

Ten Days in the North Woods by Hope Rowan

A follow-up to the popular Ten Days in Acadia, the book is told from a fictional kid's point of view to interest young people and get them excited about being outdoors. A young girl and her family describe a trip discovering the forests, mountains, ponds, and waterfalls of Maine's Baxter State Park, the Debsconeag Wilderness Area, and the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.



Beautiful color drawings by Maine artist Jada Fitch illustrate field notes of common flora and fauna. Full-color trail maps, color photographs, hiking tips, rainy-day ideas, and other resources on lodging, eating, and travel to and from the area, make this a valuable family companion.

Hope Rowan likes plunging into tide pools, looking under seaweed, mucking around in dirt, and studying maps. She has spent the past fifteen years creating, designing, and teaching children about maps as a certified Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Professional. Her first tent camping in Maine was in a crib and she was introduced to the trails of Acadia from her father's shoulders. She remembers eating M&Ms under the stars on top of Cadillac Mountain, canoeing in coves at dusk, and picking quarts of blueberries on the quiet side of the island. Hope's summer vacation experiences in Acadia led her to attend the College of the Atlantic. Now she lives on Mount Desert Island with Acadia National Park as her backyard.Jada Fitch grew up in a family-built log cabin in Sebago, Maine. Much of her childhood was spent attending art classes, doing craft projects, and building forts at her grandparents' general store. She is the author and illustrator of the children's book, Tea with Hazel. The illustrator of the Wildlife on the Move series of board books, she now resides in Portland, Maine, with her husband, Philip, and dog, Daisy. When she's not at her desk drawing, she's usually out birding, or knitting and watching nature documentaries.
