'Jamie and the River Pirates'

This is my second story about a boy called Jamie, the children he befriends and the 'River Folk', as the animals that live on and in the river, near the children's home, call themselves. The children form a club they call the 'Water Rats' and together they explore the natural environment and in the process discover a hoard of treasure. There is excitement when they discover thieves breaking into a motor cruiser and a river chase results in the Pirates, as the children call the thieves, being caught. In the children's keen interest in wildlife, they discover that a long absent and rare creature, has returned to the river and they are soon involved in monitoring the creatures behaviour. The River Folk too, are are also very thrilled by the return of the legionary creatures and the river is buzzing with excitement.
