description: "This is a romp...lively, inventive, and, above all, good-natured...one is happy to float along at the whim of its winds and waters.Virginia Potts is shrinking! Does this have anything to do with the fact that Wellington. Virginia's home town, has just floated away -- without her? And does the wayward town's disappearance -- last sighted heading due north -- have anything to do with recent occurrences, such as cats that refuse to come down from rooftops, the mayor's memory lapse concerning the Golden Rule of Spring Break or perhaps the free lemonade given out by the profit-powered Madame Galosh? Virginia must find out -- before her town freezes over and she shrinks to nothing but dust...Based on a popular radio play written for CBC Radio that became a successful CD. The Town That Floated Away is a wonderfully inventive romp, where the adults are goofballs and it's only wise and resourceful kids who can save the proverbial day.
