When Jake gets an opportunity be part of the crew for an eight-day whitewater rafting trip along the Cattibone River, he jumps at it. Not even the news that his kayaking rival, Peter, is coming along as a paying customer can dampen his excitement. Riding down the isolated Cattibone River with its dangerous Class IV rapids will be the perfect opportunity to prove to his boss that he's ready to be promoted from company "gofer" to river guide, even though he's only 15 years old. The rafting adventure starts smoothly, but just three days in, things start to go tragically wrong. One of the guides is badly injured, and when a grizzly bear enters the camp and destroys one of the rafts, the group is in danger of being stranded in the wilderness. It is up to Jake and Peter to pit their kayaking skills against the mighty Cattibone River. Alone, the two boys attempt to kayak over 160 kilometres of whitewater rapids to summon help. Racing against time and wilderness dangers, they must overcome their rivalry and work together. Will they make it in time?

I finished reading Pam Wither' s book called Raging River and it is exciting and a great outdoor adventure book.I can't wait for the next book to come out. You don't have to be a kayaker to understand this book and the story it tells but,I am a kayaker and I like the way Pam describes all the river scenes and kayaking moves in the book. The story is really full of ups and downs that kept me reading till way past bedtime. I like the way Jake and all the kids in the story get to know each other and the way their lives mix. Super book!Thomas Montpetit
This is a really exciting book all about kayaking. Pam Withers puts enormous amounts of suspense, along with a bit of humour, into the book. Jake Evans finds himself on a trip down the Cattibone River when everything goes beserk. The cellphones are lost, members are hurt and Jake and Peter must work together to brave the Cattibone alone in search of help. I would recommend this book to anybody who loves adventure and wants to get their nose into a good book.
Raging River is a very exciting book. Between fighting off bears to jumping off waterfalls this book is jam packed with adrenaline rushes! I recommend this book for any one between the ages of 9-15. A must read!
Between racing down scary rivers to fighting bears I din't put this book down once. A must read for kids between the ages of 11-16
the first book i read by Pam Withers was "First Decsent". i loved that book. this book has met all my expectations with no dout.
