The Raft

The Raft by Jim LaMarche follows Nicky, who arrives at his grandmother’s home in the Wisconsin woods expecting the worst summer ever. When a worn raft drifts into view, his days begin to change as the river and surrounding woods draw him in. What starts as reluctance gives way to curiosity, and then to a real connection with both the woods and his grandmother. It’s a story about appreciating the natural joys of the world and discovering one's own talents.
