They are bombarded by bicycles, hoodwinked by hobos, and bewitched by bikinis. ![]() They rescue a diabolical dog, confront a hydrophobic gang, and survive a waterfall. Into the Ravine is a contemporary Adventure of Huckleberry Finn, set in Scarborough (not quite Toronto, but it pretty much is for those of us who live outside of the GTA). On their way, the boys meet with a series of adventures that are funny at first glance but resonate deeply. After all, at thirteen they are old enough to take a day trip by themselves. When a tornado brings down a big maple tree, the boys make a raft of the branches and set off downstream. This familiar territory is by turns comforting and terrifying. ![]() Behind their backyards is a ravine through which flows a modest river. In the tar-melting heat of a suburban summer, everyboy Jules, athletic and handsome Chris, and oddball Corey (he laughs at gravel and anticipates zombie attacks) have lived side by side for most of their lives. ![]()
