Editorial Review:

Product Description:
How can you tell if a river's under a spell? River trolls, rock trolls, blue-wing fairies—the usual suspects. The stretch of the Mississippi where Claire lives has rumors of them all, not that she's ever spotted any. But then Claire's cousin Duke takes a swim and sprouts a horn—a long, pointy, handsome thing. After that, Claire doesn't have much choice but to believe that something rivery is going on, especially since she's the only one who can help Duke lose his new addition.

Rating: - best read-aloud chapterbook ever
Love love LOVE this book. We read it to our 4-year old and she loved it. The big surprise was that my husband and I did too. The chapters are short and eventful, the writing is well-done and funny. We've since passed it on to many people and they all loved it too. Write another book, please!

Rating: - Wonderful book
The cover art is what drew me to this book. I knew nothing about it but chose it for the art. It looked interesting. As a 26 year old, I had a great time reading this book. It's not just for children. I did stay up a bit too late reading it because it had my curiosity.
