O knihe

When Magali fell all the way down the mountain, she couldn't have known what was waiting for her at the bottom!

What is she thinking? She's not even sure if she can swim!

Magali and her friends discover the river and a new sport: Rafting! It looks wicked, rad, totally cool. 'Let's do it!' Her friends are keen, but Magali is unsure.

They meet a boar with a really long snout who boasts that he and his team are the fastest rafters. Henri Le Hare, F-F-Foxy, and the others laugh him off. 'Best river rafters? You? Ha ha ha! I don't think so! We are the best. In everything.'

Dude... they talk the talk, but what's it really going to take to beat the boar on race night? Can they do it? And, will Magali help?

Question for the Author
How did you come up with the character of Magali?
'You know, I really love the French Alps, and looking at all the animals that live in the mountains. I'm Australian, so I had never seen a marmot before moving to France. I worked one summer, for a kids summer camp, and part of my job was to take the children out on walks. We would go looking for marmots, all of us being very quiet, secretly sneaking up to the holes in the ground, where the entrances to the marmot burrows were. Of course, we would make too much noise and the marmots would disappear into their underground tunnels, but sometimes we were lucky and able to take photos. I think their underground homes took over my imagination, and before you knew it, I had a whole chapter book in my head, with Magali as the principal character!'
