This was such a good book, with heart breaks, big mistakes, and some really good parenthood. I would recomend this book for ages 8 and up. FIVE STARS!!!!!

Its really sad yet really good
This book is so good! It is about two boys named Tony and Joel and they go on a bike ride. When they go over a bridge Tony dares Joel to go in the river they were told never to go near. Joel doesn't think it is a good idea but it is to late Tony was already swimming. Joel walk down to the river and finally agrees to go in. They have a race and Joel is in the lead but when Joel looks but Tony is gone he tries to look for him but he is nowhere to be found. When he gets back to his house he doesn'tt tell anybody what happened but by the end of the story he finally decides to tell. If you haven't read this book you really should!

thanks for giving it away
This book is very depressing. If you're looking for a happy book, don't pick this one. It's good, though. Tony wants to go on a dangerous bike ride. When they get to a bridge Tony wants to swim in the Mississippi River. They have both been warned not to go near it. But Joel doesn't want Tony to think that he is scared. After a fight Joel dares Tony to swim to a sand bar. When Joel gets there he looks back but Tony is gone. FOREVER.
