Th's five true stories span four centuries but take place in one location: a dangerous stretch of water near Lake Michigan's western shore that is known as "Death's Door." Young readers will devour these tales of tragic accidents, mysterious disappearances, and heroic moments. The stories feature a 17th-century fur trading crew, an 18th-century Potawatomi trading party, a mail carrier and a shipbuilding family from the 19th century, and an early 20th-century basketball team. The narrator is Death's Door itself, who wonders why people insist on crossing its treacherous waters, concluding it is "because they are human. Ambitious and restless...but loving too." An informative afterword provides insight into the author's sources and features archival images and additional historical details about each of the stories"--
