Raft of Stars by Andrew J. Graff

3.0

I'm not crying there's just something in my eye...
A modern day Tom Sawyer tale of two boys on the lam, in the wild woods of Wisconsin after getting in some trouble.

Bread and Fish are two 10 year old boys on the run, who build a raft and go on a journey of survival and dreams. A story of resilience and grief and what it takes to be a boy of 10, not yet a man.

The reader is left on the edge of their seat as the boys' risk imperil over & over. A bunch of the town's residents, including Fish's mum and the county sheriff are desperate to find the boys in time and get them home safe. The wilds have plenty of unknown dangers in store, but the journey they take is as much spiritual as physical.

Trigger warning for gun violence.
