Reviews:

     
   

"Along with a breathlessly paced plot, Garretson crafts a preteen protagonist who grows out of being a whiny, moody sort and, with his companions, displays generous measures of courage and ingenuity in rising to the occasion."
Booklist

   
   

"Kids will enjoy the adventure and realistic characters. An accessible story with lots of action. Recommend this to fans of T. S. Fields's Danger in the Desert (Rising Moon, 1997) and Gary Paulsen's Hatchet (Bradbury, 1987)."
School Library Journal
