Welcome to Litsy!

It was fine but I‘m not the reader for this. An adventure story about two young fatherless boys. A bit wilderness survival story, which I do love, but heavy on the cheese factor. The adults could have been hallmark movie characters 😬
I did like the setting and I liked the way the kids dealt with hardship…the adults is what I struggled with here. It felt like a “gentle read” or verging on Christian fiction.

This survival story went on just a bit too long and none of the characters were very fleshed out. Not bad, just not great.

Believing they‘ve killed someone, best friends Fish & Bread (who are ten) run away & disappear into the woods. The sheriff, the mother & grandfather of one of the boys, & a local waitress set out after them confronting their own fears, doubts, & nature as they race to find the boys before an even greater disaster occurs. This is a solid debut about choices & consequences, friendship & family & how far we go to protect the ones we love.

The story of 2 boys who run away after firing a shot at an abusive father.

Adventure, determination, a little bit of a love story.

'Raft of Stars' was entertaining, but will soon be forgotten.

Two young boys go on the run into the Wisconsin wilderness after believing themselves to have committed a serious crime. Several people are searching for them in the hopes they don‘t come to sorrow. This was good. The stories of each character were interesting and the boys were believably written children.

Library loan....story sounds so good! Cant wait to listen to this one!

Audiobook - just checked out from the library. On my May listening list!

I‘m not a big adventure reader, but upon learning that kids were the central characters, I wanted to give it a try. I wasn‘t disappointed! This was adventure with purpose and suspense. I also enjoyed that the author provided a bit of comic relief to break the drama a bit. He also did a good job of capturing the nature of a child‘s ability to call on pretend to ease the pain. Thanks to #NetGalley for my very first #arc

So, this is my first #ARC and I‘m loving it. Not sure I‘ll get anymore arcs since I don‘t have a blog, but I‘m super excited about my first one. #netgalley
