E-raamat: Adventures of Jack and River

Two boys. One island. Endless bad ideas.If there's trouble to be found on the island of Russ, you can rest easy knowing Jack and River will stumble into it—usually headfirst, and with great enthusiasm.Best friends, sworn conspirators, and occasional thinkers-after-the-fact, the boys spend their days chasing adventure and their evenings narrowly escaping the consequences. What begins as a harmless bit of curiosity—a peek at a farmer's baby donkey—soon snowballs into a fine mess of lies, panic, village gossip, and a "e;miracle cure"e; so grand it draws a crowd fit for a traveling circus.But mischief has a way of growing teeth.When the boys set their sights on the most forbidden place on the island—a crumbling house whispered about in fearful tones—they discover that some doors don't open to adventure… but to something far darker. What waits inside will test their nerve, their friendship, and their ability to run faster than they ever have in their lives.Told with wit, warmth, and a knowing wink, The Adventures of Jack and River: Boys, Beasts, and Bad Ideas is a rollicking tale of boyhood, bold schemes, and the kind of trouble that seems like a good idea right up until it isn't.If you've ever had a bad idea that felt like the best idea in the world—or if you loved The Adventures of Tom Sawyer—this story will feel like coming home… only with a bit more trouble waiting at the door.
