The River by Gary Paulsen

[blnea...@verizon.net]

After surviving alone in the wilderness for weeks, Brian Robeson is
being asked to do it all over again. Obviously, Brian does not want to
do it, but there will be one person with him, a man who records
everything Brian does to survive, and how he does it. During a
Lightning Storm a tree falls and knocks the man into a coma. With no
way of communicating with the outside world, Brian decides to build a
raft and to carry the man to the nearest place for help. This happens
to be a trading post days away that may not even exist anymore.

This book was very good and exciting, I'm not much of a nature person,
but I think it was a great read. Check it out!
