Illustrated by
Jill Kastner.
Based on the father-son authors' own adventure, this story follows a boy and his dad on a white-water rafting trip, where the sights of the setting thrill as much as do the breathless rides through the rapids. The tale doesn't have much depth, but it does vividly capture the rafting experience, the froth and spray almost palpable in Kastner's lush, impressionistic oil paintings.
