I wouldn’t recommend this book because it got to the point where i felt as though i needed to reread the whole book, it goes from one situation to the next, and lastly it will continue to talk about a scene that happened while something else suspenseful is happening.Īfter a daring escape from juvenile detention, Digger finds himself on the run from the police. In my personal opinion the book has way too much going on at once and gets quite confusing at times, i had to reread many times to remember what all was happening during that time in the book. Police briskly noticed that he had escaped from a juvenile detention center and he was to be sent back and due his time, but is stuck with the conclusion of not helping his family, nor knowing what his friends are up to now. Luke (Diggers friend) was running as he tried to cross the river he had fallen in Digger made the dashing settlement of going to help Luke. When they finally got back to the campsite Digger noticed the police were there, he went to the conclusion that they were there for him. Later one day Nora came running into the campsite screaming of terror because the horses barn has caught on fire, once arrived Digger decided to run into the barn to save the horses that didn’t have the chance to escape two of the three horses that were trapped were now set free. While staying there he makes new friends (Luke and Nora), which leads to him beginning a job for horses. Digger comes to the conclusion of camping out at a campsite due to the truck overheating (the brakes), and an injured foot. While on the run he “borrows” a big rig truck, a bicycle, and a canoe, just to find out in the end he is going the opposite way as his home is in. Digger got out through the dumpster traveling through a garbage truck he was afraid he may be squished by the big block, he faces many hardships. He quickly escaped the juvenile detention as he said to get back to his family to help and support them. The main character Digger was placed in a juvenile detention center for “accidentally” killing a child, which was supposed to be a prank on his much older friend. The Journey Back by Priscilla Cummings, this book takes place in a juvenile detention center and ends up in many different locations.

The end is satisfying because it's not a fairy tale ending (his dream of becoming a Marine is totally and realistically crushed), and yet it comes full circle and is believable the way he's given a second chance. He knows he'll carry that guilt with him forever. He is a product of his upbringing and yet he yearns to be so much better.ĭigger is weighed heavily by what happened in Red Kayak.

It's told from Digger's perspective which is fascinating.

Being in the 'Youth Camp' was too much for him so he escaped. He has a drunk of a dad who beats him and his mother so he feels like he's the protector of his little brother and sister.

That's what happens when your boys go camping with Scouts and you're home alone for an evening. Just came out in November! What luck! I snatched it and read it all in one day. So what do you know? The day after I wrote the review for Red Kayak, I was shelving at the Middle School and found THIS book, which is a sequel to Red Kayak.
