Bookroo's summary
Fifteen-year-old Jessie and her companions ditch their outdoor program to raft the Grand Canyon alone. With no adults or maps, they revel in freedom until helicopters pursue them. As they navigate treacherous rapids and face internal conflicts, the group's leader, Troy, becomes a daunting figure. Will their daring escapade lead to disaster, or will they conquer the canyon's challenges? Adventure and danger await in this thrilling journey through nature's raw power.
From the publisher
No adults, no permit, no river map. Just some”borrowed” gear from Discovery Unlimited, the outddoor education program Jessie and her new companions have just ditched. Jessie and the others are having the time their lives floating beneath sheer red walls, exploring unknown caves and dangerous waterfalls, and plunging through the Grand Canyon’s roaring rapids. No one, including Troy, who emerges as the group’s magnetic and ultimately frightening leader, can forsee the challenges and conflicts.What will be the consequences of their reckless adventure?
