A review by heidimrogers
The Riverman by Aaron Starmer

4.0

I was guessing through the whole book, wondering what, exactly, kind of story this was. Which kind of bugged me. BUT. I loved the characters and the writing. The main character is 12, but I found the material a little heavy for that age, personally. And there was a major cliff-hanger, so now I have to read the second book.

He had me on page 19 with this quote:
"Kids had given up on teasing him back in fifth grade when it became obvious that you can call a guy Captain Catpoop all you want, but if he embraces the name by having it ironed onto his own T-shirt, he basically has you beat."
