A short story but one that is action packed and keeps you on the edge all the way. No filler. Just action and suspense.
This book was wonderful! Book 1, Hatchet, was better (isn't the first book almost always?) but, not by much. Setup took longer with this one than Hatchet, but to be believeable, the writer had to spend a great deal of time on this. And he did a good job. It's 100% believeable. The same narrator, Peter Coyote, narrated this one. He has a very calming, soothing voice, making the River a candidate for pre-naptime. This was a very good book.
My 9-year-old son and I really enjoyed this great wilderness adventure book and we highly recommend it. A great sequel to The Hatchet.
