reviewed Exactly: 10 Beavers, 9 Fairies, 8 Dreams, 7 Knights, 6 Princesses, 5 Dogs, 4 Otters, 3 Old Men, 2 Robots, 1 Traveling Shoe & Everything Else It Takes to Make a Great Children's Sto on June 27, 2015 Exactly: 10 Beavers, 9 Fairies, 8 Dreams, 7 Knights, 6 Princesses, 5 Dogs, 4 Otters, 3 Old Men, 2 Robots, 1 Traveling Shoe & Everything Else It Takes to Make a Great Children's Story Book (More or Less)
Combative brothers Doug and Gordon Grillo accompany their parents on the annual research trip to the Rockies. They fly into Denver, drive several hours, then hike in the last couple of miles. It's very remote. This year is different; the boys' mother is expecting the death of her older brother, one whom she has had conflicts her entire life. When they have to leave for the funeral, they leave the boys behind. They're older; they're scouts; it's too expensive for last minute plane tickets when the boys didn't even know their uncle.
Mom and Dad will only be gone two, at most three days. The boys could handle it if their relationship weren't so dysfunctional. A few hours after the parents depart, the brothers have a blow-out. Gordon goes off to camp on a high pass where Doug is afraid to go. His fear of heights paralyzed him on that climb 2 years earlier.
Recommended as a good survival story as well as a story about relationships, the dangers of being alone in the wild, and maturing.
