[Do you know River boy?] 13th day.

    Hi! I come back with book review. The book that I will tell you about is one of book that was written by my favorite writer. This book' writer is Tim bowler who is from England. Don't think about this book is story about a boy who is live in river! Actually this book is story about one girl named Jess.

  Jess is a  normal girl who loves swim. She was live with her mother, father also his grand father. Especially her grandfather is an artist, who always draw pictures wit out title. One day, her grandfather getting sick, but grand father rejects about go to hospital. Instead her family decide to go to grandfather's hometown village. 


     Jess see a picture of grandpa and it has title. The title was "River boy". In the village Jess enjoys swimming in the valley that located beside village.Then one night she see a boy swimming in the water, so Jess tries to see him but he always disappeared when she is getting near                      US version River Boy              with him. 


     Even though her family tries to hep grandfather, he is getting serious, and grandpa struggle to finish the picture "River Boy". Jess was so sad and tired to just watch her lovely grandpa struggle and can't do anything for him. At that time, finally Jess meets a boy who was in the valley. Jess tell to him everything about situation and a boy suggest Jess to draw picture with him.



     Next day, Jess helps her grandpa even thought grandpa against it. Finally finish the picture "River boy".  At that night, Jess find a boy who suggest her to achieve he grandpa's last hope. A boy ask Jess to swimming together until the sea, but Jess rejects it. But Jess heard her grand pa goes to hospital, she tries to find a boy early, but there wasn't a boy. She just swimming along the valley, river, until the sea. At the sea she see the a boy, but police rescue her and her parents tell her, her father was died. 
                                                                                                               Korean Version "River Boy"






      At the final of the book, Jess swimming again in the river as swim is the best part of her life. After I read the book, I still cannot understand what a book wants to tell to reader. Many of experts agrees this novel is the most beautiful novel and this is the best novel to describe life as river. This story can be strange because of "a boy". But I think by this fantasy, it makes novel more calm and beautiful. As my position, this story tell us people spirit is grow by the poignant situation in life. Also almost books written by Tim bowler has similar themes. 




     I want to recommend this book as book that awarded Carnegie medal  by win the Harry Potter.
