A Newbery Honor Book. โA gripping, compassionate portrayal of a boyโs struggle with conscienceโ by the bestselling author of My Mother Is Mine (Kirkus Reviews).
While on a bike trip, Joelโs best friend Tony drowns while they are swimming in the forbidden, treacherous Vermilion River. Joel is terrified at having to tell of his disobedience and overwhelmed by his feelings of guilt, even though the daring act was Tonyโs idea, and Joel didnโt know that Tony couldnโt swim. But Joelโs loving and protective father will help him deal with the tragic aftermathโand understand that we all must live with the choices we make.
โA powerful, soul-stirring novel told simply and well.โโBooklist (starred review)
โThis is a devastating but beautifully written story of a boyโs all-consuming guilt over the role he plays in the death of his best friend . . . Bauerโs honest and gripping novel joins the ranks of such as Katherine Patersonโs Bridge to Terabithia in its handling of these issues.โโPublishers Weekly
