River Boy
Kirk’s problem is he can walk on water – and no one has had that gig for 2,000 years. But can a skinny Canadian kid, raised in a small town by a single mother, really be the Son of God? Kirk just wants to be a normal teenager, hanging out with his girlfriend, stocking shelves at the corner store. But when he is caught on CCTV cameras walking across floodwaters to save his mother’s life, all hell breaks loose.
Mixing murder, satire, and teenage romance, Canadian author Alan Daniels weaves an extraordinary story of how humanity – and the Christian establishment – might react today to the long-awaited Second Coming. At its core is a question that has survived centuries: If there is a creator, an Almighty God, why is the world in such a mess?

I borrowed River Boy, by Alan Daniels from the Kindle Unlimited Program on Amazon.
River Boy is Buskirk Holland de Villiers, known as Kirk has a special talent (or curse, however you looked at it) in that he could walk on water. His Dad had been killed in war when he was three so it was just him and his Mom's big secret.
The plot contains a series of comic situations, lots of humor and almost being discovered when he is caught on film sprinting across an canal when bullies were chasing him, a move, a flood, a new friend, a job, a horse to ride and a murder and attempted murder and more.
Alan Daniels is a gifted story teller and this is the second book I have read by him and they were both extremely humorous, full of surprises and great fun to read. I remember the first from years ago and will be thinking about River Boy for a long time too.

the content could use a good proofread, but the overall message is worthy of a read just to remind us of some of the important in life.
