Product Description

The Yangtze in this story is not China's biggest waterway, but a rather magical place on the outskirts of a small town in the backwoods of Quebec, Canada. With a few quick brush strokes, Karen Wallace transports the listener to a time and a place where children enjoyed a freedom that is impossible to imagine today. The plot moves along quickly, its profound observations and simple truths skillfully unveiled through vivid and authentic dialogue. It's the story of a summer when old dreams are shattered and new dreams are born. For Nancy and her friends, things will never be the same.

This book was non stop, I never wanted to put it down.

I don't usually read books like this, I only read Jacqueline Wilsons and stuff, so to get me to read the book Mummy said she would give me a present when I finished it, but actually now I would happily read it without any bribing!

I liked Nancy because she thought she knew everything about growing up but really she hardly knew anything. This was my first 'grown up' book. It was quite funny & also thrilling. This was a great book and I would recommend it to all girls of around 11-13.

Now I'm reading Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson, it is really good.

As the children in this book enjoy the adventures of their summer holiday, the reader shares in their thoughts and fears through the eyes of the charming narrator, Nancy. The children deal with fairly difficult events (even by adult standards) in a sophisticated, yet somehow innocent way. Karen Wallace has got right into the minds of children not forgetting, (as many adults do), how much children notice the things adults in their life are doing. This book tells its child audience that someone understands them and is giving them material that cuts to the heart.

great book 9 Oct 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
A great story, funny and moving at the same time. Nancy, the narrator, gives a great sideways slant on the relationships between adults and children in a little community by the banks of Canada's mighty Gatineau river. I loved everyone inside the book, and everything that happened to them. Karen writes like nobody else I have ever read. Now I am going to read it again
