About This Book

Five boys leave their home in Wisconsin for the Oregon mountains, where camping, fishing, hunting and amateur photography shape a series of outdoor episodes. Their wilderness excursions bring encounters with bad weather, big game, and a dangerous river gorge, during which a companion is swept away and the group must piece together a mystery about his fate. Personal rivalries and thoughtless pranks inadvertently create peril, but teamwork, endurance, and quick thinking enable rescues and resolution. The narrative alternates active sport and tense survival scenes, ending with the friends planning further adventures.
