Will the two boys survive long enough to see the light of day again? What Readers are saying: ★★★★★ “Imaginative adventure by a young author! Imaginative tale of subterranean survival. When Kent and his friend Pat become trapped on an underground river, they must face their fears and use their wits to survive in this beautiful but dangerous subterranean world. There are also chapters devoted to Kent’s father as he tries to rescue them while confronting his own inner demons. The characters come alive with detailed back stories rarely seen by an author so young. Written for the most part with a maturity beyond his years, and with a whimsical twist at the end that probably wouldn’t have worked for an adult author, but in the hands of a sixteen-year-old, seems just right.” —Amazon review ★★★★★ “Is The Emerald River an allegory for dealing with depression? It certainly seems so. In the sense that Kent is all alone in the cold dark world, with only Pat for company, while his father deals with his depression. The journey back to each other is pretty heavy for both father and son. A 16-year-old wrote this?” —Amazon review ★★★★★ “I truly enjoyed The Emerald River as an adventure for youngsters. Not bad for adults, either. I like reading young adult fiction—especially YA fiction that is a quality read. I appreciated how the Lord was mentioned as the source of a young man’s strength and how a parent’s love can supersede that same parent’s issues.” —Amazon review ★★★★★ “Great adventure! Young Kent and Pat have a hairy, scary adventure worthy of Indiana Jones. Being only 16 when he wrote this, J.R. Rain has amazing talent. Love the cover, too. Good job!” —Amazon review ★★★★★ “Great book! My boys have really enjoyed the book; it has been hard to put down. There is adventure and suspense. It is a quick read.” —Amazon review Click BUY NOW or READ FOR FREE! Read more
