Join Clayton and his friend, Austin, Grampy and Mom on a fun, intriguing, and informative adventure onboard the Granny Rose! We left these lovable and comical characters in Cincinnati at the conclusion of their last adventure as they celebrated Clayton’s birthday. Now, picking up the story there, they take in the sights of Cincinnati before heading downstream on the Granny Rose. They think this will be another typical day of cruising on the Ohio River back to their homes in Louisville. But will it? Along the way, after hearing STRANGE GHOSTLIKE NOISES, the group finds an abandoned, rusty ship, meet new people and even find treasure! At Grampy’s suggestion, the Granny Rose detours from the Ohio River and travels up the Kentucky River from Carrollton to the Kentucky History Center in Frankfort, Ky so the boys’ treasures can be delivered there. Along the journey, Clayton and Austin research the history of the Kentucky River, Carrollton and Frankfort. Their adventure turns really exciting when they meet a very famous Kentuckian, who has a commendation for them and a very special treat! This book is targeted for third to sixth graders, as was “Clayton’s River Adventure I.” 3
