3.0 out of 5 stars review by BMS
trouble river is a very good book, but one thing we noticed is that it did not tell the whole story. it leaves out that the americans moved to america while the native americans were living there already. The book shows the native americans as being horrible.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Trouble River (Mass Market Paperback)
Trouble River was about a young boy and his grandma. Dewey was building a raft, and he named it the Rosie B. The Indians suddenly came to their cabin, and hurt their dog, Charlie, with a tomahawk. Charlie survived, and Dewey, Grandma, and Charlie got on the raft to escape the Indians. Grandma stayed in the rocking chair on the raft during the trip. They were going to their neighbors' house, but that house was burned down too. That was not all their trouble. They were caught in dangerous rapids and chased by wolves. Finally they make it to Hunter City. Dewey's mom and dad were there because they had a brand new baby. Everyone was amazed that a 12 year old boy built such a good raft, and made it down the river.

I am a 10 year old old that loves this book because it has action, is interesting, and you never know what will happen next. So read the book and see how you like it. This book is part action, part history, and part funny.....in one whole book!

4.0 out of 5 stars This was a very exciting book., April 8, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Trouble River (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this would be a good book for Fourth
graders because it was not a easy book or a
hard book and maybe they have had a experience
like that.

This review is from: Trouble River (Mass Market Paperback)
Trouble River was about a young boy and his grandma. Dewey was building a raft, that he named the Rosie B. The Indians suddenly came to their cabin, and hurt their dog, Charlie, with a tomahawk. Charlie survived, and Dewey, Grandma, and Charlie got on the raft to escape the Indians. Grandma stayed in the rocking chair on the raft during the trip. They were going to their neighbors' house, but that house was burned down too. That was not all their trouble. They were caught in dangerous rapids and chased by wolves.

I am a 10 year old boy that loves this book because it has action, is interesting, and you never know what will happen next, unless you read the whole book. So read the book and see how you like it! By the way, we read the book before we got on the website. This book is part action, part history, and part funny....in one whole book!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Minnesota third grader., March 7, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Trouble River (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like adventure, this is the book for you. This story takes place in the pioneer days. It is about a boy named Dewey who is very courageous, his cranky scary-story telling grandma, and his dog Charlie. The adventure begins when Dewey has to fight off an Indian who was going into his cabin. The grandma was scared that more Indians would come and kill them, so they went on Dewey's homemade raft to escape to the Dargan's cabin on Trouble River. Unfortunately, when they got to the Dargan's cabin it was burned down, so they decided to continue down the river to Hunter City. The adventure continues when they stop to sleep and are attacked by wolves. Thinking they are safe on the raft again, they have to fight the rapids. Will their raft survive the rapids? Will they make it to Hunter City? Read this book to find out?

I like this book because it has lots of adventure. If you like this book you'll like the book Old Yeller.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is very entertaining and very well written!, June 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Trouble River (Mass Market Paperback)
Dewey, a 12 year old boy is a brave pioneer that takes care of his old grandma. Grandma, is a worry wort and is scared of owl screeches and of being scalped. A tomahawk hit the dog, (Charlie's) leg when he was attacking the indians. Dewey, at the beginning was building something important at the river. I liked the book because it has those kinds of details that make you feel like you are really there.
