Black Water Rising by Robert Rayner

miramichireader's review

3.0

Black Water Rising is a good story with conflicts experienced by both Stanton and Jessica, making it ideal reading for either sex. They might ask themselves: which side of the issue would they have taken? Which character do they identify the most with? Is eco-terrorism right? Is violence ever the solution? What are the dangers of mob-mentality? These are the deeper themes of Black Water Rising, and sooner or later (if not already) the teen/young adult reader will need to face such issues in their lives. Author Robert Rayner has crafted a story worthy of reading and discussing, making this an ideal book for educators to consider using in their classrooms.
