Read the book to find out what happens. = = If you like adventure/action books this is the book for you. The only thing it laks is suspence. Read the book. I give it a 3 out of 5. =

= Review By: Omer = = I loved this book a lot, it was the classic novel of how life is growing up only a little harsher. This book is about a girl named Jessie (like all children) she had problems with her dad. These problems got worse as time went on one of them was her dads soon to be "wife" but you will get into that when you read the book.Eventually her problems got so bad that she was sent of to a camp to learn how to be disciplined and how to depend on yourself. Obviously this sounds easy but try it when when there is rain everywhere people put the groups stuff in different places and people begin to go missing oh yeah one more thing CLIMBING UP A HUGE MOUNTAIN!!!! Read this adventurous book called "Downriver" there isn't anything like it. =
