This website was created Fall 2016 by Suzanne Sannwald, in conjunction with San Jose State University's School of Information INFO 268 History of Youth Literature taught by Professor Melba Tomeo. The home page features a whirlpool, referred to in the book as a "Wool Pooh." The image was selected since - just as the water in the story looked deceptively calm to the young protagonist Kenny, but then pulled him underwater with great force - the book similarly unfolds relatively ordinarily before powerfully immersing the reader in the climactic final chapters.
