- Synopsis
- One of the classic teenage novels of the nineties, River Boy is an emotional, moving book which has had a profound influence on its readers. Following the story of Jess's dying grandfather, and the marathon river swim Jess becomes caught up in, it uses poetic and surreal images of water and swimming to deal with the difficult subjects of death and loss in an accessible and affecting way. Winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Angus Book Prize.
