Rough Waters (Hardcover, Bound for Schools & Libraries ed.)

They're on their own -- and they can't even talk to each other. How are they going to make it?

When their parents are killed in a car accident, Scott and his older brother Gregg are sent to live with an uncle they never even knew they had. Rocky runs a white-water rafting company in Colorado, and the brothers -- used to a comfortable life in the suburbs -- have to start working there right away. Scott is determined to make the best of it -- and Gregg is just as determined to self-destruct. But you can't do that on the rapids, where it's a matter of survival or death....
