Summary: Million Dollar Trip
Review: A Review by Travis

This book is about two guys who just got out of high school who decide to go on their last two week trip to the BWCA were their going to canoe and camp. Although when they get there all is good until about 3 days into the trip, when they run into a hijacker, who hijacked a plane and stole three-quarters of a million dollars. Then they find the money, and it's now a run for their lives, as the man chases them.

One thing that I like a lot about this book is how it kept the reader wanting to read more, like when the boys stole the money, and the man started chasing them, it seemed as if wherever you left off it was a cliffhanger. The one thing the author did not do was start the book off with a boring beginning. The starting of this book was suspenseful in many ways, because it talked about the hijacker and his doings, and it also talked about the history of the boys lives. The book was a little difficult to get in a couple of parts, for example when they keep switching from the minds of the hijacker, the two boys, and the detectives, it got a little confusing, but as you kept on reading, it cleared up.

I recommend this book to all teenagers over the age of 13, because even though it's an easy book to read, some parts the words get confusing. A great book for people who like suspenseful, camping books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book was Awesome!
Review: I read this book for a program at my school called Accellerated Reader. I really enjoyed reading this book, and maybe I will read some more of Thomas J. Dygard's books. I really liked the way he divided his chapters into WHO that chapter was talking about, and WHERE in that chapter! I'd recommend it to anyone that likes a good book!

Summary: The Mystery in Minnesota
Review: Mike and Todd were two average guys ready to have some fun on
their yearly canoeing and camping trip in Minnesota.Only this year would be their last because they were both heading off separate ways to college. On their way there they turn on the radio and overhear the news saying that a man was hijacking an airplane on the ground at the Minneapolis airport, the man was demanding three-quarters of a million dollars in ransom. Todd and Mike got scared a turned the radio off. Later they arrived at the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. A couple days later they were taking a walk around and passed a man. They found that odd because the man acted like he didn't want Todd and Mike to see him. So they boy just ignored him and kept walking. Then they came upon something really weird in the middle of the woods it was a bag with lots of money in it next to a parachute laying on the ground they knew that the money must have been stolen. They figured someone was coming back for it, and very fast. They decide to take the money with them so they can turn it in later. But will they get to the cops before the person finds the money missing and comes after them?

This book was very interesting. It made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen to the boys and the hijacker. The author made the antagonist very realistic and had good details about everything. The book kind of made me scared because I would never want to be in a situation like Tom and Mike were in. I liked how I did not get confused in the book while I was reading. I could follow along great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wilderness Peril: A Great Read for Ages 10-17
Review: My opinion of this book is excellent. I read it as an out of class novel in school, and thought it was a great choice. I particurally enjoyed the author's writing style, in which he writes each chapter from a different person's view, but does not repeat himself. I strongly suggest you purchase this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could 3quarter of a million dollars really ruin a good time?
Review: Todd and Mike enter the woods with a relaxing week of canoeing and camping at hand but end up with 3 quarters of a million dollars and their lives at stake. If you enjoy suspense thrillers in the woods this is the perfect choice.

Rating: 4 stars
