A life-and-death struggle on a raging riverGreg's father thinks his son needs to experience new adventures and overcome some of his fears, so he takes the unwilling boy on a rafting trip. Greg dislikes the outing from the start, but nothing prepares him for the catastrophe that strikes. His father is bitten by a rattlesnake, and if he is to survive, Greg must get the pain-ridden, nearly unconscious man to a doctor -- through perilous wild rapids he is ill-prepared to face. This gripping adventure will leave readers breathless, as Greg develops strengths he did not know he had in order to save his father's life.Good Condition: Minimal damage to the cover, dust jacket may not be included, minimal wear to binding, most of the pages undamaged(e.g., minimal creases or tears), highlighting / underlining acceptable on books as long as the text is readable and markings are not excessive, no missing pages.
