"If you're lucky, on a day like today, you'll get the best of what comes your way, unless you go to the river to play. The river that's ready to swallow all four. The river called Junction... and the world at its core." Are you ready for an adventure? Set in Sudbury, Ontario, this animated tale follows four local children as they stumble along a mischievous path. Though the story is fictional, the characters are all real. The story's written by, and narrated by, the children's uncle (who makes a cameo in the book). The story begins when the youngest, Quin, loses his shoe down the river and decides to follow it. Though they know better, the older kids have no choice but to follow. They wind their way along Sudbury's infamous Junction Creek and end up in a fanciful world beneath the city which is populated by a precocious, overly fashion-savvy, collection of non-chalant cats. A great bedtime story to carry your childrens' minds into fanciful dreams of adventure and possibility. A few silly chuckles, a sprinkle of local lore and a touch of nostalgia add up to an incomparable adventure that everyone will enjoy. "Time spent is time that belongs to the spender. If you see a friend hurt then jump in to defend her. Dare everyday Spend your days in adventure Your craziest dreams can be days you remember." (A River Called Junction... - 60809)
