Young Adult Suspense
Montana-born Rex loves nothing more than to take his kayak
out on a river, the faster and more powerful the better.
When he gets the opportunity to tackle the well-named El
Furioso in southwest Colombia, he is thrilled. He
anticipates the river’s challenges, but finds himself in a
situation where the real danger is human. In Colombia, he meets Myriam Calambás, an indígena, who has
lived along the El Furioso all her life. Though she loves
its rushing waters, she dreams of leaving to get an
education so that she can help her people. Her dreams, and
her very survival, are in the balance when she and Rex are
caught up in the clash between paramilitaries, working for
rich landowners, and guerillas, who are supposed to be
protecting the poor.
