Bookroo's summary

Daniel Martin, often mocked for being a slow learner, finds himself in a life-or-death situation when a camp van crashes into a raging river. As night falls and the mountains loom, Daniel must decide whether to save himself or risk everything to rescue the very bullies who tormented him. With survival uncertain, Daniel's courage and resourcefulness are put to the ultimate test. Will he rise as a hero, or will the wilderness claim them all? The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking in this gripping tale of bravery and redemption.

From the publisher

When his camp van crashes into a raging river, Daniel Martin is plunged into a frightening position. Suddenly the campmates who call him “dork breath” and “retard” because he is a slow learner are depending in him for survival. Daniel could save himself. Or risk everything to try to rescue the bullies too. Night is approaching, and desolate mountains surround them. Even if the boys do make it to shore, their dangerous ordeal is just beginning.
