hjswinford 's review for:

The River by Gary Paulsen
5.0

I read The River in memory of Gary Paulsen's death yesterday, October 13th, 2021. I didn't read this installment in the Brian Saga when I was younger. I loved seeing the growth of Brian in this book. Having to care for another helpless human being in a survival situation is a whole level of test and the clever boy does everything he knows to do, with success, while still remaining an entirely believable narrative.
