The book is pretty good. I just think they could of been more creative with names. You used “common mean girl names”. Or just regular ones. Sarah, Amanda, Brittany? Come on ! Good book though no hate

"I don't realize I'm crying until he glances at me. For a moment, I see the look of anguish in his eyes, then he blinks it away and slips off into the water. I immediately think of the gator. It's still down there somewhere. . . ."
A science-class field trip to the Everglades is supposed to be fun, but Sarah's new at Glades Academy, and her fellow freshmen aren't exactly making her feel welcome. When an opportunity for an unauthorized side trip on an airboat presents itself, it seems like a perfect escape--an afternoon without feeling like a sore thumb. But one simple oversight turns a joyride into a race for survival across the river of grass. Sarah will have to count on her instincts--and a guy she barely knows--if they have any hope of making it back alive.

Could you imagine being stuck in the Florida everglades. For 5 days. In the book Lost in The River of grass by Ginny Rorby the main character Sarah and a boy she met while on this field trip get lost in the Florida everglades. The antagonist is the treacherous waters and the blazing hot sun. The protagonist Sarah and Andy. A problem Sarah and Andy face is not having enough to eat or drink. Another problem they experience is having to trudge through knee deep water which what they're stepping in is mud and limestone which has holes in it. I would say the turning point is when they start to hear planes and helicopters flying around them. I would recommend this book to 6th grade and up this is a YAC book so it has some advanced stuff. But if you can handle that kind of stuff this is a great book about survival and perseverance. Will they make it out or will they die unknown.
good detail and i like how you used trudge
you did good on your book projects
it looks good wow cool i am going to read it yay
This was a pretty good book, i guess. So Sarah is on a science field trip with her new school: Glades Academy in the Everglades but the people at her school don't really care about her. When she meets a boy named Andy during a hike in the Everglades he offers her to take her on an airboat on the water, which she can't resist. She then goes with him leaving her teacher and classmates behind and ends up getting stuck in the Everglades. Now Sarah and Andy must find a way to survive by themselves...
