The River

De: Gary Paulsen

Narrado por: Peter Coyote

The government sends Brian back to the Canadian wilderness in this beloved follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen!

Two years after Brian Robeson survived fifty-four days alone in the Canadian wilderness, the government wants him to head back so they can learn what he did to stay alive. This time Derek Holtzer, a government psychologist, will accompany him. But a freak storm leaves Derek unconscious. Brian's only hope is to transport Derek a hundred miles down the river to a trading post. He's survived with only a hatchet before--now can Brian build a raft and navigate an unknown river?

For the first time it's not only Brian's survival that's at stake. . .

Great story, good reader

The river has a great story, I really enjoyed it, reader was also good. Great book.

Music was distracting and sometimes made the words difficult to hear but story and narrator were great! Recommend the series!

awesome and book

awesome book to listen to. very descriptive . you can close your eyes and be there.

Length

I wish the story was a bit longer but it was still a good book for sure. I recommend it 100%

Epic story

what an amazing sequel, doesn't suffer sexualities, feels like a continuation of hatchet. Love this story on so many levels, and how Gary writes it, amazing a good nail biter at times.

Riveting book about determination

My daughters talk about Brian throughout the day. It’s as if he has become a friend they can reference. Yesterday my 6 year old daughter was making a goal plan for 2020 and said”what’s that Brian word....oh yeah- determination”.

And, I would listen to Peter Coyote narrate the dictionary and be rapt.

intriguing
