so-soThe only reason this isn‘t a pan for me is that the author was a 20yo at the time the story takes place and thus his brain was clearly *not* fully formed. TW for the (sometimes senseless, often suffering) deaths of a number of wild animals. The author learned some life lessons, in a good way, but not before I wanted to throat punch him. Also: do not bring a dog along on your tale and then fail to keep me constantly updated on their wellbeing. 3⭐️
I open it.

“Hello, Lisa,” I say. “Come in.”

DOWNRIVER by Will Hobbs: “an action-packed story of a wilderness trip which leads a group of teenagers to learn about nature, survival, and themselves.“
It's about a group of troubled teens rafting down the Colorado River and camping at spots as they continue their journey. My students loved this book, even more so because we lived in AZ! 🏞️

Paulsen‘s series about Brian in the wilderness and the truth behind the stories are amazing.

pick#2 of 20 in the series. I am getting to know and like the characters. These books are a bit longer than others like them—which I like. The stories are what they are—entertaining and enjoyable. I like the Native American themes. And I like they are set in Northern Minnesota, where I have spent much time. On to the next one!
pickSimilar to Cheryl Strayed‘s book about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, but with a group of raucous twenty something year olds and thirty two year old Helen as the protagonist. I enjoyed this fun, finding yourself book with a badass female lead.
Book #39 in 2024
pickI was more into the backcountry hiking trip and wilderness aspect than the romance, but still enjoyed it all.
