Illustrated by
Christopher Denise.
Vole dreams of sailing downriver to rejoin family and friends lost in a flood; Firefly dreams of flying to the moon; and baseball-loving Cricket yearns to be the best catcher since Yogi Berra. Affectionate third-person narration follows the friends' preparations for these quests. The entwined fates of the three characters (and human friend Peter) will move readers with their rightness.
