River Eyes (Story Book)

by JoanLingard (Author)

Synopsis

Jamie and Claire are thrilled to be on a canoeing trip with their Grandpa: sleeping under canvas, catching fish and picking mushrooms for their tea, watching for deer amongst the trees.



But there's someone else in the woods. Someone determined to steal what isn't his to take. Poachers. This isn't the kind of excitement Grandpa had in mind... The two children help to catch the thieves, and still go home with salmon for tea!
