The Courage Test
The Courage Test | James Preller
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Will has no choice. His father drags him along on a wilderness adventure in the footsteps of legendary explorers Lewis and Clark--whether he likes it or not. All the while, Will senses that something about this trip isn't quite right. Along the journey, Will meets fascinating strangers and experiences new thrills, including mountain cliffs, whitewater rapids, and a heart-hammering bear encounter. It is a journey into the soul of America's past, and the meaning of family in the future. In the end, Will must face his own, life-changing test of courage. A father-and-son journey along the Lewis and Clark Trail--from Fort Mandan to the shining sea--offers readers a genre-bending blend of American history, thrilling action, and personal discovery.

There were parts I really liked and then parts that didn't seem to flow well or just seemed liked they were tossed in. If you want to consider this for a school library I think middle school would be the best fit.

It started out slow but in the end The Courage Test blew me away because, well, history and a father and son reconnecting.

While it had its good and not so good moments, it was a really enjoyable read.
