About the Book
When twelve-year-old Ryan
reluctantly agrees to join his experienced older brother, Tanner, on a
camping trip, he never dreams that it will turn into the most
frightening day of his life.
Ryan admits he's no good at
sports or outdoor stuff. He'd much rather be playing video games. But
Tanner assures him it will be an easy trip. They'll kayak down the
Boulder River, fish, and toast marshmallows at night.
When they set out, the river is
higher than usual, and the kayaking is scary. Tanner keeps saying
there's no reason to worry. But when he's badly hurt in a kayaking
accident, Ryan is afraid he's not up to the challenge of saving his
brother's life. The only danger Ryan has confronted has been in his
video games. What good are those games now, when he's facing a real-life
battle?
