3.0 out of 5 stars Big Adventure at Big Bend April 6, 2011
By Last Mango VINE? VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I'm a Will Hobbs fan, but this one just didn't compare with Crossing the Wire, Downriveror the lighter Go Big or Go Home. I'm glad I read it; it was interesting to learn about Big Bend National Park and border issues, and it had plenty of action. What it didn't have, in my opinion, was suspense. This can sometimes be a problem with first person narratives because, well, obviously the person survives or they won't be narrating! Even with raging rivers, kidnappers, storms, and pistols I didn't find myself that engaged with the story or the dialogue. The book itself is short, as are the chapters, which will make it appealing to some of its intended upper elementary/middle school readers. It would be best suited to kids liking outdoor adventure rather than to reluctant readers. |
