Adventure
Plot:
This book
is about a boy named Brian. He
just survived 1 summer and
winter in the wilderness after a
plane crash. Now after he came
home he practically became a
star. He didn’t ever want to go
back to the wild after that. One
day a survival guide came to his
house. He asked for Brian to go
back to the wild and show him
how he did it. After deep
thought he decided and his
parents decided the he would go.
After he got there he showed his
guide some tips. About a week
later a big storm came and
struck his partner. He found out
his partner was in a coma. Now
he had to find a way to take his
partner in a coma [that weighed
around 300 pounds] to refuge!!
He made a boat and is now
sailing down the river to find
people. He made a homemade raft
and is still unsure about it.
Does his partner die of
starvation or dehydration? You
are going to have to read to see
how it ends.
good:
This text was very descriptive.
It would tell you how Brian did
everything and when he did it.
The plot was laid out
unbelievably well.
weaknesses:
There were some parts that were
unclear. Like when his partner
was struck by lightning, I
didn’t know if he was dead or
alive for about the next five
pages. For the most part though
this book is awesome and I would
recommend this to anyone.
