Will he stay and wait to be rescued or will he travel down the river to a trading post that might not even be there?
The story is told by Brian.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
I would rate this book a 3.5 out of 5. I gave it this rating because I thought it was a very interesting book but it was a little boring in some parts and could have had more descriptive. I would recommend this to people who like outdoor adventure and survival stories.
Favorite Part: My favorite part is the climax so I cannot tell it.
