Charles and Astrid

A gentle rafting trip turns into an adventure when Astrid and her family fall into the river. Separated in the chaos of the rapids, Astrid is saved by an unusual hero. He is large, green, ferocious, and has rows of big white teeth. Proving that you can't judge a book by its cover, nine year old Astrid Mayer has created an imaginative story about courage, kindness, and adventure in her first book.
