More DescriptionThe Yangtze in our story is not China's longest river. But rather it is a magical place in the Canadian countryside. There, in the 1950s, a group of children look forward to what promises to be a glorious summer. This is Nancy's story. She is down-to-earth, practical and inquisitive - and always getting into trouble. Her only challenge in life is Andrew, her elder brother. Nancy calls him the big thinker; he's more of a dreamer really. Then, there are Clare, Amy, Sandra and her teenage sister Tracy. The children have known each other and their families for most of their lives, but this is the year when everything they ever thought they knew, will change. It all begins, in Nancy's words, "... the day my brother and I decided to poison our mother."
