內容簡介
It's Ryan versus the river in a race against time to save his brother's life.When twelve-year-old Ryan reluctantly agrees to join his experienced older brother Tanner on a camping trip, he could never have dreamed this would turn into the most frightening day of his life.
Ryan's no good at sports or outdoor stuff. He'd rather be home playing video games. But Tanner says it's an easy trip. They'll kayak down the Boulder River, catch fish, and roast marshmallows.
But the river is higher than usual, and the kayaking is scary. Tanner isn't worried. But soon after, he's badly hurt in a kayaking accident, leaving Ryan alone and afraid he can't save his brother's life. He's only faced danger in video games. What good are games now when Ryan faces a real-life battle?

精彩書評
"Ryan enjoys playing video games, and does NOT enjoy kayaking, fishing and camping. However, this is what his older brother Tanner has talked him into. It sounds like it might be fun, especially toasting marshmallows, but things soon spin out of control. Cut off from cell phones, Ryan is on his own when an accident injures Tanner badly. He draws on his knowledge of video games and keeps his mind focused by making up songs, but will it be enough to find help in time for Tanner? Filled with adventure and danger, this is a realistic story about what can happen during an average camping trip. Ryan is a pragmatic and likable character, which is fortunate as for much of the book he is the only person conscious! Both outdoorsy kids who have gone on thousands of outdoor adventures and those who never look up from video games can relate to this entertaining story."
