Don't Go Near the Creek - Adam Blackwell

"Silverstream creek is a dangerous place according to Adam’s mum; broken bridges, mysterious bubbles and dark shadows lie in wait for young adventurers.
But young Adam has his bike, snacks and his trusted teddy. He longs to be a fearless treasure hunter, just like the ones he reads about . . ."

“Young Adam was skinny, he wasn’t so sporty.

His hayfever made him all sniffy and snorty.

The kids didn’t ask him to be in their teams.

So Adam read books and had thoughts and dreamed dreams.”
