review 1: I just read Never Say Die by Will Hobbs right before reading Wild River. I might have liked Wild River better if I hadn't just read Never Say Die because the stories have some similar elements but Wild River is definitely written for a younger less mature audience. I read them because they are both 2015 award nominees in Illinois and i wanted to know who they would appeal to so I can promote them as part of my job. Anyway, without divulging any details if you have a younger reader looking for some mild adventure in a story that seems like it could happen to them then Wild River is for them. However, if you have a tween or teen looking for adventure with a dose of environmental consciousness skip Wild River and go straight to Never Say Die.
