thanks To Some Secretive Wheeling And Dealing, The Self-proclaimed Hoods In The Woods Group From Downriver (atheneum, 1991) Is Back For A Second Attempt At Conquering The Mighty Colorado River-this Time Without The Aid Of A Professional Counselor Or Guide. Fans Of Hobbs's Earlier Whitewater Adventure Tale Will Be Disappointed In This Uninspired Sequel. None Of The Characters Are More Fully Developed Than They Were The First Time We Met Them, And The Interaction Among Them Seems Forced And Trite. Young Adults Who Appreciate Veracity In Their Fiction May Find Themselves Questioning How Realistic It Is, From A Safety Standpoint, That The Group Is Allowed To Continue Its Journey Through The Grand Canyon Despite Unusually Dangerous And Turbulent Weather Conditions. The Detailed Blow By Blow Descriptions Of How The Group Tackles Various Rapids Combine With A Host Of Technical Terms To Make This A Must-read For Only A Small Group Of Yas, Those With A Strong Interest In Whitewater Rafting. Even Troy's Attempt To Rekindle A Romance With Jessie Fails To Raise Any Genuine Interest In What Happens To Either Of Them. Voya Codes: 3q 2p J S (readable Without Serious Defects, For The Ya With A Special Interest In The Subject, Junior High-defined As Grades 7 To 9 And Senior High-defined As Grades 10 To 12).
