Sam Foster can't help it -- he's in love with his Grade 6 teacher. The trouble is, his best friend Darryl's in love with her, too. That's a problem, but Sam's also up to his ears in other worries: how to win the annual Hope Springs a Leak river race and how to get the money to buy the towns only genuine new Maple Leafs sweater before his sister Robin snags it for her boyfriend. Hope Springs a Leak is a rollicking, good-humored tale of life in a small town where kids and grown-ups mix with hilarious results.
