Great Read Aloud

I love this book. An adventure between a father and his son. I started using this book after my white water rafting trip. The descriptions and pictures are excellent for children of all ages. Excellent for readers and writers workshops.

I read the book White Water. It's about a thirteen year old boy whose name is Greg. His parents have been divorced ever since he was little. This weekend it was his dad's turn. They went white water rafting. Greg didn't want to go and his mom wasn't going to make him. He ended up going and his step brother came along too. (He does not like his step brother.) When they arrive at the rafting house, they learn all about rafing. Then they start to go down the river. When they start their trip, everything goes wrong. His dad gets bitten by a rattle snake and almost dies. They also lose the raft. If you like adventure you should read White Water. There are a lot of twists and turns. It kept me turing the page. Read this book to find out what happens to Greg, James, and their father.
