Summary: The River
Review: Ready to start an exciting, mind thrilling adventure book? The river is for you. This book is about a 15-year old boy named Brian who survived in the bitter cold woods of Canada. Now some psycologists want him to do it again! Though it took some convinsing and thought, Brian and Derek (psycologist) finally leave. When the two fly over to the unfamiliar surroundings, Brian demands they leave the equipment except for a briefcase and communication phone. The day after they byild a shelter and literally stumbly upon a flint. With that they make a fire for heat and cooking. A couple days after, an astonishing thunder storm approaches them unexpectadly. Read the book to see the drastic situation.My opinion of the book is that it was very surprising. I doubt anybody knew anyhting would happen to the two, knowing Brian had experience. It was amazing. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventures. This book will have you out of your seat.

Summary: The River
Review: I think this book is very interesting. It is a boy named Brian who survived a plane crash and is stuck in the wilderness for 54 days. One year later 3 men came to his door and asked him to relive his accident in the wilderness. The men are survival specialists who are going to make a video on how to survive. But something goes terribly wrong. Derek gets struck by lightning and Brian has to survive once more. I think this book is reconmmended to all students because it is easy to read and is a good survival book. The chapters are very short. It will be a very good book for elementary kids. By Shawn

Review: I liked The River because it was a very good book and you could never tell what was going to happen next.It started by Brian answering the door.Two big guys were trying to get Brian to go back on the island and show Derek how he survived.Derek was a psychologist.The book gets much better where they're on the plane.A week later Derek get struck by lightning because he happens to touch the radio while he is sleeping.If you want to know the rest you're going to have to get the book yourself.Plus if you already have read the book Hatchet your going to love The River.

Summary: The River
Review: The River was a great book about Brain again and it was the second book to the hatchet. The River was a great book because brain went back and did another adventure with Derek who is the person who was in the River that Brain went back with because Derek wanted to write a book about how do u survived in the woods. So one day Derek and his friend they are like a place that work for like new reporter but not really those. So they can and asked Brain if he wanted to this adventure again and he said yes. So off they went to the wood. when they got there it was a pretty good day but I think later Derek got hit by a lighting because they had a thunder storm and Derek was still asleep and somehow he reached out to the radio and he got shock by lighting. So if anyone out there who want to know the rest of this story I just want to said it is a great book and if you guys have all ready read the Hatchet I bet You guys will like it too. Also if you guys want to know if anything will happen to Brain or Derek I bet you guys, to read this book and will Brain survived this time or he won't.
