The River Runs

It's New Year's Day, 1967, and Chris has made a resolution: he is going to stop his older cousin, Roger, from bullying him. What can he really do about it, though? Roger is a National Championship wrestler, while Chris is puny and bookish—the two boys despise each other.

But as the summer progresses, Chris begins to think there may be more to his cousin than meets the eye. Set against a backdrop of 1960s rural New Zealand, The River Runs is a fascinating story with a gripping climax from award-winning young adult writer, David Hill.
