THE ROCK JOCKEYS By Gary Paulsen - 16

   

 3 boys are on a rock climbing trip and decide to break the rules go on a straight up smooth wall of rock... and nobody that's gone up ever came down. Well their up there they find a crashed B-17 bomber plane. The path is hard from the high brushes and the close trees. All the clear paths have booby-traps. If they fall in will they make it out?

The three boys Spud, Rick, and J.D. are all troubled  with each other and nature.

The boys argue on which way to go. The boys explore further and further into the forest arguing and saving each others lives. The bushes are so tall and trees so close together, and all the paths that are clear have one or two booby traps.

The main characters change from arguing to helping each other in the wild forest on a mountain. Of course there's complaining and saving from life-death situations.

I related to this characters because I get annoyed by my sister and we always get in to arguments. I love walking in the woods so some times I have to go through some tough places.

RATING: ****

THE CREATURE OF THE BLACK WATER LAKE By Gary Paulsen

Ryan doesn't know what is about to happen at this lake. Down, down, down in the lake lives a hideous monster. Ryan meets a girl named Rita. Rita's brother claims that  the monster ate his dog, while Rita thinks that her brother is just a annoying little brother. Ryan actually really want to know if the monster is real. Now they're getting more curious.

My favorite part was when a adult helps to search for the monster and capture it, down in the murky water. It was really intense.

I think that both boys and girls would like this book at the ages through 7-9.
