TAKE ME TO THE RIVER

Take Me To The River
By: Will Hobbs
Fourteen-year-old Dylan and his cousin Rio planned an exciting summer river trip down the remote canyons of the Rio Grande. Their river trip didn't start out as planned. 15 year-old Rio and 14 year-old Dylan tried to conquer the river that divides Mexico from the United States.
During the treacherous trip they encountered two major disasters. They first came across a deadly hurricane which meant having to deal with very strong winds and flash floods. In the summer of Texas it was mainly deserts, dry as a bone. This major disaster changed the weather which made the river run faster than fast and the water level rises to new heights. The second encounter was one of Mexico’s top 10 wanted. This made the trip very difficult. Dylan and Rio now had to listen to the criminals’ exact words or they would get a bullet in their head.

The book Take Me to the River was an overall suspenseful book and kept me wanting to read more. I usually don’t like to read books but this one I would read again.

  4. You where really descriptive, and use a lot of good details. It would be very scary to be with one of Mexico most 10 wanted and to have to listen or your died. Also to be in a hurricane would freak me out. Great job! :)
