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?

Wild River by: P.J. Peterson. In the book there are two main characters. There names are Tanner and Ryan. The book takes place by a river, it makes you tense up a lot. Wild River is a realistic fiction.In Wild River Tanner the older brother take Ryan the younger brother on an exiting camping trip and they also go kayaking. They were having a wonderful time when Tanner falls out of his kayak. Ryan has to get help and save him. My favorite part in the book Wild River is when Ryan kayaks down the river to try and find help. Ryan will do anything to save his older brother Tanner. Ryan climbed rocks and grabbed a mattress to get him on shore.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and tensing up. This is one of my favorite books. This is a really easy. I finished this book in two days.
