Never Say Die by Will Hobbs - ADVISABLE

Hobbs, Will Never Say Die, 212 pgs, Harper Collins, 2013. $16.99. Language: G; Mature Content: PG; Violence: PG13. 

15 year old Nick has been invited to accompany his older brother on a river rafting trip in the Yukon.  Nick is an Inuit, and although he hunts regularly Ryan won’t let him bring his gun, even to protect them from the bears, especially the hybrid Grolar - part grizzly part polar bear. 

This is another great adventure story from Will Hobbs; the lessons learned are about survival, but also about the effects of global warming on our traditionally cold Arctic.  This would be a great choice for the middle school boys.
