Summary: Those Troubled Days
Review: I read this book way back in the fourth grade. I'm sorry, but while perhaps well written, look at the story! It's horrible! The plot is so incredibly unrealistic and dumb that I was disgusted, and that was 4th grade. Some of my qualms with this book may come from the bit where we had to analyze it, but only because there's truly nothing to analyze. If you took out all the words that are just in as fluff for the story, you'd have the cover and the copywrite information.
Gah! Don't buy this book! Save yourself!

Summary: A Minnesota third grader.
Review: If you like adventure, this is the book for you. This story takes place in the pioneer days. It is about a boy named Dewey who is very courageous, his cranky scary-story telling grandma, and his dog Charlie. The adventure begins when Dewey has to fight off an Indian who was going into his cabin. The grandma was scared that more Indians would come and kill them, so they went on Dewey's homemade raft to escape to the Dargan's cabin on Trouble River. Unfortunately, when they got to the Dargan's cabin it was burned down, so they decided to continue down the river to Hunter City. The adventure continues when they stop to sleep and are attacked by wolves. Thinking they are safe on the raft again, they have to fight the rapids. Will their raft survive the rapids? Will they make it to Hunter City? Read this book to find out?

I like this book because it has lots of adventure. If you like this book you'll like the book Old Yeller.

Summary: 10 Thumbs and 10 Toes Up
Review: Trouble River was about a young boy and his grandma. Dewey was building a raft, and he named it the Rosie B. The Indians suddenly came to their cabin, and hurt their dog, Charlie, with a tomahawk. Charlie survived, and Dewey, Grandma, and Charlie got on the raft to escape the Indians. Grandma stayed in the rocking chair on the raft during the trip. They were going to their neighbors' house, but that house was burned down too. That was not all their trouble. They were caught in dangerous rapids and chased by wolves. Finally they make it to Hunter City. Dewey's mom and dad were there because they had a brand new baby. Everyone was amazed that a 12 year old boy built such a good raft, and made it down the river.

I am a 10 year old old that loves this book because it has action, is interesting, and you never know what will happen next. So read the book and see how you like it. This book is part action, part history, and part funny.....in one whole book!
