In this book the same boy called Brian became famous and three men from a government survival school want him to go back! At first he thinks that would be insane but he thinks about it and decides he will go with the man called Derek to go but of course they bring a radio to keep in contact with the others.in the book a <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #050505; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">terrible storm hits them and lightning hits the man that came with Brian called Derek <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #050505; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">and he was holding the radio and the radio gets destroyed.Derek is in danger of dying <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #050505; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> and Brian decides to make a raft to get Derek to a trading post 100 miles south he ties <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #050505; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Derek to the raft and they start going down the river. All of a sudden the river speeds up  and boulders are in the way that would smack into. Brian falls in the river while Derek is <span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #050505; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> still in the raft !

<span style="background-color: #0e90c4; color: #000000; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I really enjoyed this book it was unexpected for Derek to get in a coma by the lightning. This story helps you to use your visualization skills by imagining Brian building the hut and the raft.
