This book is very good! It is about a boy named Joel who dares his best friend, Tony, to a race in the dangerous river. Tony accepts and they race. All goes well until.......TONY DROWNS!!!!!!!!!! Joel doesn't know how to tell his parents and Tony's parents. I mean, they were told not to go near the river. I highly recomend this book. It is nice and short. It is also a Newbery Award book. No wonder since it is so great. Happy reading!!!!!!!
