From Publishers Weekly

This is a devastating but beautifully written story of a boy's

all-consuming guilt over the role he plays in the death of his best

friend. Joel and Tony have been together since they were babies.

Although Tony's crazy jokes and wildness sometimes make Joel feel

as if he were much older, and even make Joel angry, no one is as

exciting as Tony. But when Tony suggests they climb the bluffs at

Starved Rock, Joel is frightened, knowing how dangerous the bluffs

are. He's also afraid of Tony's sharp tongue, though, so he asks

his father for permission to ride his bike to Starved Rock, certain

that his father will say no. When his father says yes, Joel finds

himself riding Tony's old, beat-up bikewhile Tony coasts along on

Joel's 10-speedout to the state park. Halfway there the boys cross

the Vermillion River, and Tony, who earlier had refused to go

swimming at the pool with Joel, decides to swim in the river

instead. Angry at Tony's lack of sensethe river is both dangerous

and dirty Joel dares Tony to race out to a distant sandbar with

him. Then the unthinkable occurs: Joel reaches the sandbar; Tony

disappears. The realization slams into Joel with its hideous

finality. Tony is dead, and it is all his fault. Joel's efforts to

cope with his staggering sense of guilt are handled with stark

reality, so that the reader shares his sense of the enormity of

life's unfairness. Yet within Joel's first perception of the total

uncertainties of life, there is also the steadfastness of his

father's love. While there is death, there is also love, and

Bauer's honest and gripping novel joins the ranks of such as

Katherine Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia in its handling of these

issues.

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6 Twelve-year-old Joel has unwillingly agreed to bike

out to the state park with his daredevil friend Tony. "On his

honor," he promises his father to be careful, knowing that Tony

wants them to climb the dangerous park bluffs. When they arrive,

however, Tony abruptly changes his mind and heads for the river.

With his promise jangling in his mind, Joel follows Tony in for a

swim. Tony drowns in the dirty, turbulent water, leaving Joel to

face his guilty conscience, and his father, alone. In this short

but solid novel, Bauer effectively portrays the dilemma of

pre-adolescents, old enough to want to meet their own challenges

without adult interference, young enough to want grownup protection

and reassurance. Joel understands only too well the moral dilemma

he faces, but he is so bound by peer pressure that wrong choices

and tragedy are almost inevitable. Bauer's association of Joel's

guilt with the smell of the polluted river on his skin is

particularly noteworthy. Its miasma almost rises off the pages.

De*ions are vivid, characterization and dialogue natural, and

the style taut but unforced. A powerful, moving book. Barbara
