Regarding the Fountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regarding the Fountain (1998, ISBN 0-380-97538-6) is a work of fiction written by Kate Klise. It is unique in the way that it tells the entire story through notes, memos, letters, and other documents. The story itself takes place in Dry Creek, Missouri. Backstory unfolds as the reader progresses; but thirty years ago the spring that the town relied on mysteriously dried up. At the same time, a new middle school opened. The story follows Sam N.'s class of fifth graders as they communicate with Florence Waters, a fountain designer, who has agreed to fix a leaky water fountain in the school. All the character names are puns on water species, for instance, Sam N. sounds suspiciously like salmon and Walter (wally) Rus sounds like Walrus. There are also sequels called Regarding the Sink, Regarding the Trees, and Regarding the Bathrooms.
