I have eight #River books on my Kindle. I just finished & LOVED Frozen River & read Follow the River Home several years ago. The the others are still in my TBR. 🏞️

Though I didn‘t think this was as good as her debut, Whistling in the Dark (which I loved), this still had a lot of the attributes that has made Lesley Kagen one of my favorite lesser-known authors. It‘s a mystery of sorts, told from the point of view of a spunky, precocious 11-year-old. While I found some parts of it a little too unbelievable at times, it‘s still a good story, and once again, Kagen is an excellent narrator.

This book was a Little Free Library find. I'm really enjoying it so far. It's narrated in the voice of an 11 year old named Shenandoah. Her mother has been missing for a year, her twin sister went mute, and her father is abusive. Shenendoah is the glue trying to hold everything together. There are a lot of outside dynamics at play, which make this book a page turner. #WeekendReads #Bookworm #Bibliophile #SummerReads
