Customer Reviews

This book is fantastic

This book is fantastic. It is about a boy named Robbie and his older brother Eric, who go on a canoe trip. When they are camping they see some men bring a rowboat into a river and a couple minutes later the people back into their truck and drive off. In the morning Eric and his brother Robbie paddle out on their canoe. After a long day of paddling, they decided to make camp. Robbie asks Eric if he can go into the woods and get some leaves and other things. While Robbie is in the woods he sees a deer, and he decides to follows it. Unfortunately, he can?t find the deer and he gets lost. Trying to find the way back, he sees a barn. Once he reaches it, he sees the two men who owned the rowboat and who looked scary, so he decides to stand still so they can?t see him. Eric was making a campfire when he realized that Robbie had been gone for hours. While Eric is trying to find Robbie, he saw a light and a barn. Once he reaches the barn he runs in and he sees to men staring at him with angry faces. What do you think will happen next? Read the book to find out more. I would give this book five stars for of its pretty funny scenes. One is when they were afraid of a cow. Another reason I gave this book five stars is because of its heart pounding scenes.

Great Book

This was a great book. Everyone should read this book. This book is easy to read and fast reading. It is very full of suspense. The main characters are Eric and Robbie. They went on a river-rafting trip. Robbie got lost in the woods. Eric had to go look for him. They both found each other in a barn. The cops came and rescued both of them from the barn. They called their mom and dad and told what happen. They decided to finish their trip. I couldn't put the book down. There was a lot of outdoor scenery. This was a great book.

"Up a River Without a Paddle"

I just read a book called "River Danger". It was a good book about people facing their fears. It's about Eric and his little brother, Robbie. They are going on a camping trip on the Buffalo River. It's a combination of laughter, friendship, and loyalty. I liked it how Eric and Robbie always stuck together. In the beginning, Eric gets kidnapped, and Robbie must find help fast. I thought they weren't going to get through the first day when Robbie tipped the canoe over to get a turtle, but they made it, alright. I know if I was in one of their shoes, I would not have been as courageous as they were.

Who finds who?

This was an interesting book, but it started out slow. I had trouble at first knowing what was going on since it jumped around a lot. I liked the idea of the code that Robbie used. he went out into the wood a lot by himself, so it was important. When there was an emergency the code did work well. The author did a good job of describing the scenes so that I could picture the places in my mind. This is a good book for people who like adventure and the outdoors. Seth Hahlen
