AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Five children have been chosen by their school to be on a leadership team: Daniel, Deke, Tony, Mia, and Imani. Together with two leaders they go from New Hampshire to Montana to go on a three-day white-water rafting trip sponsored by a billionaire inventor. When they are forced to change rivers because of low water, they are not able to notify anyone because there's no cell service. Early in the morning a flash flood separated the kids from their leaders. The kids do not know where they are, they have very little food and they hope to walk out of there till they come across some other campers. They start arguing and things get tense a scary.
I was on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down. I felt for the children alone in the unknown Montana wilderness. I rooted for them and felt bad for them when they made wrong decisions. It really was a wild ride with these kids through the wilderness. I highly recommend this book; it was absolutely awesome. Weeks after reading the book, I find myself thinking about those kids and the things that they did and the things that happened to them. if you like adventure, survival and gutsy kids, you will also love this book. The characters are described with a few different ethnicities.
