Download Now River Thunder Outlined By Will Hobbs Published As Digital Paper

the suggested summer reading list for students, Started to read it and realized it was a sequel, so I had to find the first book and read that first to be able to understand what they were talking about.
Would have been missing something had I not read that first book, which isn't always the case with sequels, Jessie, Troy, and the rest of the crew from Downriver have returned to the Grand Canyon for adventure down the Colorado River, In the year since they last were together, each has changed each feels more mature, But how will they interact now that they are facing new challengeschallenges greater than anything they've had to deal with at home

For Troy, it is a chance to prove he can be a team player, someone worthy of friendship and love.
For Jessie, the river is the ultimate test, Does she have what it takes to row down the mighty Colorado The only way to find out is to get into the raft and set off to face the thundering rapids and the powerful emotions that the river unleashes.

I remember reading " River Thunder " by Will Hobbs about a year ago or something, but it was actually pretty good, There's lots of adventure, twists, and more that makes you to want to keep reading it, Great sequel to Downriver! There are not that many adventure novels with female leads that aren't in the fantasy genre but this and Downriver are great ones! The one issue I had with this one is that there are some technological references that really date the book which is too bad b/c I was actually thinking that this book was "timeless" until I got to one chapter with these references ugh.
Oh well it is still a great read if you like adventures, : I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed River Thunder, I was expecting the book to be one of those actionpacked adventure books all about conquering nature in some capacity with the sole focus on overcoming whitewater rafting ad nauseam.
But I was pleased that author Will Dobbs made the story much more than that and create a a tale around the relationship between all the characterssomething that's usually lacking for me in adventure books.
I missed out on some of the details by not having read the previous book, Downriver, but I still enjoyed the story that I knew of Jessie and Star, Pug and Rita, as they made their journeyoh yeah, and Troy, who could have died in Lava Falls for all I cared.
Mild spoiler there, in terms of how awful a person Troy is, But the fact that I hated Troy so much serves to illustrate how well Dobbs created characters with personalities to hate at all, There were still too many details about the rafting parts for my liking, but given that that's the subject of the whole book, it wasn't too bad since there were other storylines involved as well.
Troy seemed about as dangerous as the river in this story, knowing what happened in the first one, It was a adventure for sure! it's a pretty goo dbook about friends trying to raft through the grand canyon and survive, The crew from Downriver returns to the Grand Canyon as interns with hopes of completing the Grand Canyon trip through the big rapids Granite, Hermit, Crystal, Lava Falls in their own rafts.
The flood level waters have different plans for our intrepid teens, How will the unlikely group find strength in each other to survive

Personal Literature Connection: Boys, but girls too, reluctant readers, outdoor lovers, its a good book adn i like it
it has adventure, romance and freindship in it
i read it traveling and was a life saver added May,
I have read this twice.
The first time I was really excited by the little bit of romance, She had dated one of the guys in the past, or something like that, so when they kissed that was really enjoyable to my younger self, I really didn't like that they didn't end up together though, That would have made it so much better if they had, I read it again years later and it wasn't as good the second time around, Being older, the kiss wasn't as exciting and there wasn't enough love, Quotable:
No matter what happened downriver, this was pure magic, I remembered how much I was in love with moving water, What a feeling, taking a raft through a rapid, Theres just nothing like it, I wanted more and more and I was definitely going to have my chance, One rapid down, a hundred and fiftynine to go,

Im not ready to get involved like that, not with you or anybody, What Im looking forward to is getting out on my own inventing my own life, Dont take this wrong, but I feel like what youre hoping for is someone who will magically fix up your life, make a life for you.

I have always loved the original book and as complete as the ending was for the original book I couldn't quite figure out how this one would be a continuation of that one.
So it was a bit of a surprise that the background was basically the same while the cast of characters for the most part also stayed the same although sadly Freddy never showed up.


Unfortunately this book was too much a repeat of the first including for the majority of the portion of the book the same emotional tension that could be found within the first one.


And although things turned out right in the end and that there was a bit of a turnaround it just takes away from the story while reminding the reader of the neverending alternatives of the "Hatchet" books.


Second of all I was also disappointed that the book almost never mentioned or gave names to the parts of the trip that were included at the beginning of the first trip such as the whitewater where Troy almost flipped his raft before inviting Jess over or even the ones that flipped the raft with the others.
Although they now have a guidebook only the main trip points are repeated that were named in the first read,

As a standalone I think that it could be read as such although that would take away from enjoying the much better original book, Otherwise it is a decent read and one that will help the reader to pass the time quickly if such is needed, An adventurous read of a group of friends white water rafting the Grand Canyon, A bit repetitious in part, .
