Terrace Book Reviewer ...
Monica Hughes’ latest book, “Log Jam” (Irwin:
$10.95) is a contemporary adventure story set in the
foothills of the Rockies.

Once again she shows her skill in presenting a com-

passionate and realistic account of young people under

stress who are learning to deal. with the difficulties in

their. lives, and thereby growing in understanding,
Fourteen year old Lenor:Rydz has béen persuaded in-

to a. camping holiday with her mother, step-father and:

step-brothers. Her newly re-married mother has hoped
that: the holiday will.somehow cement these young

adults into an instant family. Unfortunately the camp-

ing holiday has been for years the special time that the
father and the sons have together, The boys are trying to
accommodate their new mother, but they are no happier
about the situation than the reluctant Lenora. The stage
is set for dissention, ‘However, one thing brings some
‘measure of understanding: supremely confident older
‘brother, Brian. Frustrated by the whole situation, Denis
and Lenora take off for an adventurous canoe trip.
Meanwhile the area is on the alert, looking for a

young native Indian, Isaac Manyfeathers, who has es-.

caped froma detention centre, Gullible rather than
.riminal, he has been picked up waiting with a. stolen

vehicle. - Isaac i is-stifled by his detention, and very much -

‘afraid of the difficulties he has got into, On the spur of

_ the moment he makes a break for freedom and sets off,
- denying himself food and drink, to search for his spirit

and to try and return to his grandmother's home, where
he had been happy as a child.

. -When disaster hits the canoe trip Isaac and Lenore are
‘brought together in an encounter which changes both of
them, bringing realisation, understanding, and a way to
deal with their problem, ‘‘Log Jam’’.is an exciting ad-
venture story, and understanding portrait of believable

— sympathetic characters, and a skilfully written novel.-
David McKee’s delightful little tale of the plain little:

‘bird who becomes the colorful Toucan was issued in a
new edition by Andersen Press and is now.available in
paperback from Beaver. Books/Collins at $3.50.

- The plain nameless little bird is mocked :by all the
other animals and leaves the jungle to seek his fortune.
He tries several jobs, but at last finds.a place‘carrying.

- cans of paint, One day instead of carrying his usual two

cans he tries three, and the paint spills over him, Alas it
will not come off. Miserable he returns,:as he believes, a
failure, only to find his colors admired. He tells them
his name is Two Can, but since the other animals cannot
spell very well it comes to ‘be Toucan. This little tale
belongs in every young. child’s library, every child in-

troduced to it has loved it and empathized with the poor -

littte bird and his. problem, has rejoiced in the happy

conclusion of his trials. - Two Can Toucan’*: David
