"Downriver" is for ages 12 and up, mega those who liked the "Borrowers" work of fiction order. Erik Hare's print mode is new and unique, and refreshfully not like. He gives vivid descriptions of indisputable aspects of some the corporeal and of his own persuasion that set the feeling in a way divergent any else. Gradually, I became wrapped in the account. "Downriver" is an interesting, risible and wakeless volume that will be enjoyed by many another.
