Rowan of Rin

To the sturdy villagers of Rin the boy Rowan is a timid weakling. The most disappointing child ever. Yet, incredibly, it is his help they need when the stream that flows from the top of the mountain dries up. Without its water their precious bukshah herds will die, and Rin will be doomed. Because only he can read the magical map, young, weak, and timid Rowan joins six other villagers to climb a mountain and try to restore their water supply, as fears of a dragon and other horrors threaten to drive them back. Suggested level: primary, intermediate
