Wild+River

// Wild River // By: P.J. Petersen "We floated along for a while. When we hit some quiet water, I blasted out with a song I'd made up: "Going down the river with my brother, Tanner, In a stupid kayak that looks like a bananner." "That's bad," Tanner said. "Even for you, that's bad." I laughed. Tanner was Superstudent and Superhero, but I was Bad Song Champion. I made up the worst songs in the world. And my singing was even worse than my songs." Pages:120 Summary: 12 year old Ryan loves video games, NOT the outdoors. But his big brother Tanner convinces him to join in a kayak adventure. Shortly after they depart, things go terribly wrong and Ryan must use his "video gaming skills" to outwit his opponent - the wilderness. Review: Humor and adventure bubble along this river ride. Short and well-paced plot. (Ms. O'C)
