Publisher's Summary:
Debut author Jim Black's semiautobiographical tale won rave reviews and favorable comparisons to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
For young Jim, the summer of 1968 sparkles with the promise of baseball and pretty girls. But he must reevaluate his priorities when he befriends Sam, an older African-American who shares his love of fishing. Soon Jim realizes there is more to Sam than he ever imagined, and that life's most valuable lessons are often the most painful.
Members Reviews:
"The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book. . ."
Mark Twain wrote that. Jim Black, in the tradition of great American writers, has once again demonstrated it. His Little Wichita River is not the Mississippi, but it is the River Eternal, upon whose surface gifted dreamers such as Black can gaze, and read the full tide of young men's hopes and ardor and grief and redemption as they flicker and vanish on the fast-moving current.
It takes a brave and gifted writer to compose a novel whose theme is not cynicism or darkness, but tenderness, made noble by the steadfast embrace of life, despite all its sorrows. And to elevate this theme beyond sentimentality into literature. Jim Black belongs in that company.
The Summer of All Summers
River Season is a very fun, sentimental, nostalgic read. It held me captive from the first page to the last. The author, Jim Black, uses a writing style that is very readable, flowing easily from one chapter to the next. I think this novel will appeal to all readers from age ten to one hundred but also to individuals who do not identify themselves as readers. The story setting is a small town in the mid sixties, and the plot revolves around Jim at thirteen as he experiences friendship, love, loss and other lessons of life. This reader experienced emotions from laughing out loud to crying out loud. River Season brings back fond memories of growing up in a tight community with very unique, memorable and sometimes eccentric characters. I highly recommend this book. This book is also recommended for high school english students.
Excellent book
This was a great story, well-written. I hope Mr. Black writes more books!
River season the book
His is a really fantastic book. I reccommend that everybody read it at least once. You'll cry though. I promise.
Small Town America
River Season is a snapshot of growing up in Small Town America that keeps you captured from page 1. It is heart warming and full of the kind of teenage pranks that kept small town kids entertained in the 1970's. I thought it was better than Stand By Me and highly recommend author Jim Black's books.
