Description
My name is Finn Armstrong. The weirdest thing happened to me. This is the story. Believe it or not.
Here's where thirteen-year-old Finn isn't: Egypt. Or Russia. Or any exotic, adventure-filled place his scientist parents are researching. Here's where he is: stuck on his grandmother's farm, learning to fish in a lame attempt to get to know his cranky great-grandfather.
But as the waters of the Red River keep rising, Finn's about to discover that the "channel cats" he's fishing for - and his great-grandfather's mysterious silence - have a message meant only for him. It's one that will catapult him into the biggest, strangest, most terrifying adventure of his life!

Reviews:
One of Draper's greatest achievements is how she seamlessly unrolls the plot of this adventure story-about the 1997 Red River flood disaster-and also spins out a very credible character story. Shelley Leedahl, Blogger
Red River Raging is an excellent realistic read-aloud that is extremely timely considering the flooding seen in Manitoba during the summer of 2014. Highly Recommended. CM Magazine, Vol. XXI, No. 1
