Raft of Stars by Andrew J. Graff

4.0

A modern Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Two boys (ten year olds) flee into the forest and river in Northern Wisconsin after one shoots the other’s abusive father. It’s also about two other pairs: the grandfather and sheriff who pursue them by horseback and the mother and sheriff’s wannabe girlfriend who pursue by canoe. All three pairs during this trek have intimate and introspective epiphanies. Descriptive and engrossing it has some over the top moments but it didn’t disappoint.
