Description

Sam can't help it-he's in love with his Grade 6 teacher. The trouble is, his friend Darryl's in love with her, too. But Sam's also up to his ears in other worries: how to win the annual Hope Springs a Leak river race and how to get the town's only genuine Maple Leafs sweater before his sister snags it for her boyfriend. A rollicking tale of small-town life.
