This is an unforgettable, spellbinding book. Young Nicky is sent to spend the summer on the river with his artist grandmother, "who does not even have a TV." He discovers a raft decorated with beautiful drawings of the wild animals that live in the riverscape. All summer he drifts amongst them living adventures on his raft. He discovers in his grandmother's world the exhilarating moments to be found in nature, the beauty of art, and a lifelong antidote to boredom.
