River Rat: The Storm Treasure by Joseph Fleck: After a major thunderstorm, Joey goes for a ride down the Narragansett River on his homemade raft looking for treasures. This brief story is the sort you’d listen to your grandfather tell: somewhat interesting but without much in the way of drama or conflict. I also imagine it would be far more engaging if I knew the people involved. But at less than 100 large-print, illustration-rich pages, there’s no time to get bored.
