The Raft by Jim LaMarche, ISBN 0688139779

Reluctuant Nicky spends a wonderful summer with Grandma who introduces him to the joy of rafting down the river near her home and watching the animals along the banks....A flock of birds was moving toward me along the river, hovering over something floating on the water.

Nicky isn't one bit happy about spending the summer with his grandma in the Wisconsin woods, but then the raft appears and changes everything.
