Review: I think this book is a very well written adventure novel about a boy who was kidnapped by an odd old prospector. He was forced to journey down the Yukon River so the old man could steal Johnny's father's gold. During this voyage they run into obstacles such as bears and snag piles. A snag pile is a cluster of driftwood that has floated down river and formed into a pile. I would recommend this book to people who like action and suspense.My favourite part of the book was when the grizzly and Bill, the eccentric old prospector, got in a fight! I also liked how Bill taught Johnny how to be a woodsman. Johnny learned how to snare rabbits, make a raft and bleed animals to be eaten. I didn't like how the story ended so quickly. I would have liked it if the book finished letting the reader know if Johnny gave the reward to Bill. I also wanted to know if Bill died or not.
