Description
Where the River Rises is the fourth and final book in Rosie Boom's multi-award-winning series, The Barn Chronicles. This warm-hearted, engaging book invites readers to join the Boom family as they face a terrible drought that has Northland in its grip.
The relentless drought continues, but there are still homestead chores to be done and adventures to be had. Milly, the 13-year-old protagonist, begins to think the rains will never come, but she finds joy in the simple tasks of rearing calves, planting gardens, and collecting firewood. When the drought finally breaks and the river rises again, the Ruins are transformed into a home crafted with love, blood, sweat, and tears.
This charming book is perfect for family read-alouds, offering a modern-day take on the classic homesteading story that has captivated a broad range of readers. With its blend of wholesome fun, adventure, and excitement, Where the River Rises is an excellent choice for children's literature fans.
