About This Book
Two young siblings become lost in the autumn countryside and embark on an improvised journey that carries them from shady woods to canals and a larger vessel. Along the way they meet kindly locals and animal companions, confront threatening figures, and endure sudden flights and narrow escapes. Episodes alternate quiet domestic scenes, moments of danger, and acts of aid as the pair make friends, receive help, and face partings. The narrative traces their growing courage and resourcefulness while they seek safety and reunion amid shifting rural and seafaring landscapes.
