The Riverman by Aaron Starmer
5.0
This was a selection from a member of my postal book club. Ordinarily, I would not have picked up a middle grade book at my age. That being said, I am so grateful to the person who selected this.
I would have LOVED this book when I was in the target age range of 10-14. As it is, I loved it now many, many years past that. It’s got mystery and fantasy and budding pre-teen romance. I thought it was very well-written, with a believable cast of characters, and an intriguing plot. I must finish the trilogy to see how everything plays out, as lots of questions are raised by the ending. There were twists I did not see coming and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
