Praise for Wild River: An Amazon Best Book of the Month A Junior Library Guild Selection * "Newbery Honoree Philbrick twines a heartfelt message about teamwork and forgiveness with realistic dangers in this page-turning survival story. A battle for power keeps the tension high, as do plenty of twists and cliffhangers, which create enough uncertainty to keep the pages turning." - Publishers Weekly, starred review * "As he did with Wildfire , Newbery Honoree Philbrick has crafted another action tale for young readers that's impossible to put down. Readers will need to strap on their helmets and prepare for a wild ride." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Philbrick is a master of the fast-paced easy read adventure story. The simple-seeming story raises moral questions that might get readers pondering big ideas." - Horn Book Magazine Praise for Wildfire: * " An intense tale of survival and action.
