I am looking for a children's chapter book. The plot involves children whose house is able to float and they float down a river on it. This was a chapter book from the 1970’s or 1980’s. I don’t think it was a houseboat but rather their actual house was put on a raft, but my memory could be wrong. Thank you!!
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
The House That Sailed Away by Pat Hutchins?
Maybe a long shot, but I wonder if this could be ‘The Town That Moved’ by Mary Jane Finsand (1983).
‘Jelly and the Spaceboat’ by Shirley Parenteau?
Maybe The Blackmail Machine by Felipe Holman? It’s a treehouse that flies away, but I think it does end up floating in a river at one point.
Is there a chance it’s much older? I’m thinking of the Augustus series by Le Grand. The first two books were Augustus and the River (1939) and Augustus Goes South (1940).
Houseboat Girl by Lois Lenski?
