About Downriver by Will Hobbs
After fifteen-year-old Jessie is sent to the Discovery Unlimited outdoor education program, she and six companions take the program’s rafting gear and set off down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon without adults, a permit, or a map. Their independent trip begins amid the canyon’s red walls, beaches, caves, and waterfalls, but the river soon brings danger and tension.
Whitewater rapids, cold rain, injuries, and conflict within the group turn this young adult adventure into a story of the risks and consequences of pushing on. An author’s note describes Hobbs’s own rafting experiences. The book may appeal to readers interested in outdoor adventures, river travel, and the Grand Canyon.
