Two boys. One island. Endless bad ideas.
Jack and River have a talent for turning harmless curiosity into public disaster.
A peek at a farmer's donkey ends in chaos, scandal, and a getaway that nearly forgets to include them.
And that's only the beginning.
Gossip spreads fast.
Strange happenings follow.
A forbidden house pulls them closer to trouble they shouldn't touch.
Then robbers arrive.
Most boys would steer clear.
Jack and River make a plan.
Armed with more courage than sense, they set out to catch the thieves, save their village, and very likely turn both into a complete mess before they're done.
On the island of Russ, growing up isn't gentle-
it's reckless, ridiculous, and just dangerous enough to matter.
And for Jack and River...
trouble isn't behind them.
It's already knocking!
Perfect for readers ages 10-14, this humorous middle-grade adventure is ideal for fans of classic stories like Tom Sawyer-packed with daring plans, friendship, village secrets, and boys who are always one step away from trouble.If you enjoy funny adventure books for kids, stories about mischievous boys, or a lively coming-of-age tale set in a small island community, this one is for you.
