About this listen

Ten-year-old Ryan has a knack for inventing, and his big sister, twelve-year-old Abigail, has a knack for getting them out of trouble. But their biggest adventure yet starts with an old boat, a snapped rope, and a river that simply refuses to slow down! When "The River Sprinter" breaks loose from Grandpa Finn's dock, Ryan, Abigail, and their mischievous terrier Sparky are launched into a chaotic, unstoppable adventure. They didn't ask for a wild ride, but now they're stuck on a runaway boat with no engine and no way to stop!

Hold on tight as you join Ryan and Abigail's thrilling, sensory-filled journey down the river: They battle terrifying Rapids and Rock 'n' Roll and narrowly escape The Bridge that Blinked. They get tangled in the spooky willow tunnels of The Fog of Forgetfulness and face down a giant creature in The Muddy-Claw Mystery. A friendly raccoon draws them a vital map, guiding them past the deafening sound of The Waterfall's Warning.

Can a quick-thinking sister, a clumsy-but-creative brother, and a constantly sniffing dog navigate whirlpools, abandoned pirate ships, and a colossal beaver dam to find the quiet waters of the lake? Or will the Runaway River claim them for its own? Dive in and find out!
