By Patricia MacLachlan, Lloyd Bloom (Illustrator)
A boy's summer on a farm challenges his view of reality.
Ten-year-old Arthur Rasby escapes a dull summer with his inattentive parents to stay with his eccentric Great-Aunt Elda and Great-Uncle Wrisby. On their whimsical farm, where singing to pigs and climbing trees is the norm, Arthur's perception of reality is challenged. As he navigates this new world, he discovers that life is full of unexpected wonders and complexities. Will Arthur embrace this newfound perspective, or retreat to the safety of his journal? Join Arthur on a journey of discovery, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and reality is just a matter of perspective.
Arthur Rasby is ten years old and having the worst summer of his life. His parents don’t listen to him, so he writes everything down - everything that’s real - in his journal. But when he goes to stay with his Great-Aunt Elda and Great- Uncle Wrisby on their farm, his world is turned upside down. For the first time Arthur wonders what’s real and what’s not.
