"Listen", said Dad. "What's that?" I asked. "White water!" he shouted. "Hang on tight!" When a father brings his son on a white water rafting trip, he hopes his son will share his love of the river. Inspired by a real life experience, renowned writer and poet Jonathan London and his son Aaron perfectly convey the thrill of speeding over rapids, the joy of seeing wild horses, and the quiet pleasure of falling asleep under a billion stars after a great meal around the campfire. Jill Kastner's lush nature paintings make it clear that this is a trip that father and son won't soon forget-and neither will the reader.
I love this book. An adventure between a father and his son. I started using this book after my white water rafting trip. The descriptions and pictures are excellent for children of all ages. Excellent for readers and writers workshops.

I read the book White Water. It's about a thirteen year old boy whose name is Greg. His parents have been divorced ever since he was little. This weekend it was his dad's turn. They went white water rafting. Greg didn't want to go and his mom wasn't going to make him. He ended up going and his step brother came along too. (He does not like his step brother.) When they arrive at the rafting house, they learn all about rafing. Then they start to go down the river. When they start their trip, everything goes wrong. His dad gets bitten by a rattle snake and almost dies. They also lose the raft. If you like adventure you should read White Water. There are a lot of twists and turns. It kept me turing the page. Read this book to find out what happens to Greg, James, and their father.
