It is spring,and Owen Brand and his family have just moved to the riverside town of Middlecross in yet another attempt to escape poverty. For twelve-year-old Owen,it's the chance for a new life and an end to his family's isolation.It's the chance to make new friends too,and he quickly falls in love with a gang of three local boys.With summer comes the freedom from school,but two adults seem to preside over the boy's activities.One is Walter Gribbs,the benign old watchman from the yacht club; the other,Hodgson Fisk,a vindictive farmer tormented by his past. Then the gang stumbles across a body in the river - a macabre discovery that,as the year turns full circle, presages a cataclysm that will envelop them all . . . By turns lyrical,tender and disturbing, this powerful portrayal of a rite of passage,originally published in 1998,signalled the arrival of a prodigious new talent.The novel has been revised by the author for this new edition. Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its qualifying compensation rates too!
