A rousing adventure yarn full of danger and heart and humor. Richard RussoAn instant classic for fans of Jane Smiley and Kitchens of the Great Midwest: when two hardscrabble young boys think theyve committed a crime, they flee into the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Will the adults trying to find and protect them reach them before its too late?Its the summer of 1994 in Claypot, Wisconsin, and the lives of tenyearold Fischer Fish Branson and Dale Bread Breadwin are shaped by the two fathers they dont talk about.One night, tired of seeing his best friend bruised and terrorized by his nogood dad, Fish takes action. A gunshot rings out and the two boys flee the scene, believing themselves murderers. They head for the woods, where they find their way onto a raft, but the natural terrors of Ironsforge gorge threaten to overwhelm them.Four adults track them into the forest, each one on a journey of his or her own. Fishs mother Miranda, a wise woman full of fierce faith; his granddad, Teddy, who knows the woods like the back of his hand; Tiffany, a purplehaired gas station attendant and poet looking for connection; and Sheriff Cal, whos having doubts about a life in law enforcement.The adults track the boys toward the novels heartpounding climax on the edge of the gorge and a conclusion that beautifully makes manifest the grace these characters find in the wilderness and one another. This timeless story of loss, hope, and adventure runs like the river itself amid the vividly rendered landscape of the Upper Midwest.
