Summary from James Patterson's website
After a rough summer, Rafe is heading back to the dreaded Hills Village
Middle School, the site of the very worst years of his life. And as if
that's not bad enough, he's learned that he's going to be held back a
year unless he can prove himself on an outdoor survival
excursion—complete with dangerous white-water rafting, dizzying rock
climbing, and fanatical counselors. Rafe and the rest of the pack of
"delinquent" trainees are forced to cooperate as they prepare for the
final test: a solo excursion in the deep woods. Can Rafe come out of the
experience in one piece? And if he does, will he go home as the same
insecure kid?
Nayu's thoughts
Rafe
most definitely needs saving! Imagine having to attend a camp full of
people who quite happily would see you come to harm just so you can
still attend school, and you've barely dipped your toes in Rafe's
world. I fet really sorry for him, he isn't a bad person, just had a
lot of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The illustrations
heighten the already humourous story, so is definitely one to check
out!
