'Dougie and his sisters can't remember the last time it rained. The rainwater tanks are empty, and the river is a string of muddy pools where birds and animals come seeking water. One day, Dougie's dad tells him about his grandfather's gift for water witching. Dougie wishes he were a water witcher - then they would have a well.' (Publication summary)
