No adults, no permit, no river map, just some "borrowed" gear from Discovery Unlimited. That's how their adventure began. Seven different teens set out by themselves in the Grand Canyon not knowing what will happen. They all have their own different problems and learn many new things about themselves and about each other.
I'd have to say that I don't have a favorite part of this book because I liked it all the same; it was really adventurous and exciting.
The theme of this book I would say is be thankful for what you have. I think this because in the book one of the teens named Jesse goes to the summer camp Discovery Unlimited angry at her parents and she doesn't really care about anything.
I really like how this book had a lot of adventure and action. I wouldn't have changed anything about this book. I think people who should read it are ones that really like adventure or action.
Summary of Downriver
No adults, no permit, no river map. Just some "borrowed" gear from Discovery Unlimited, the outdoor education program Jessie and her new companions have just ditched. Jessie and the others are having the time of their lives floating beneath sheer red walls, exploring unknown caves and dangerous waterfalls, and plunging through the Grand Canyon's roaring rapids. No one, including Troy, who emerges as the group's magnetic and ultimately frightening leader, can forsee the challenges and conflicts.What will be the consequences of their reckless adventure?
