Praise
“…Pam Withers’ new book First Descent is a book that just can’t be put down. From the first page to the last, Withers keeps her readers on the edge of their seats. Moving from a tale of frustration and arrogance to one of survival, heroism, and humility, the story of Rex’s adventure to Colombia to navigate the aptly named El Furioso river will keep audiences flipping pages until the last sentence. Withers is a talented author with a knack for exciting and gripping action as well as for sympathetic and moving characters. The plot is well-paced, and her prose elicits beautiful images of the Colombian landscape…. Highly recommended.”
–CM Magazine
“…From the first page, when Rex hears a crack of river ice, sees an eight-year-old in peril, and enacts a dramatic rescue in which he must out-paddle an advancing mountain of ice, Withers flings the reader from one perilous adventure to another….”
— Booklist “
Kayaking action and encounters with the various military groups are vivid and thrilling.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“…a fast-paced novel…. Mature teens will find this a compelling story of clashing cultures and social challenge.”
—The Midwest Book Review
