The Way Back

by Tom Pawlick

Something ravenous lurks in a Mississippi swamp.

When twelve-year-old Jake Kelly sees his father attacked by a rogue alligator, he becomes obsessed with hunting the beast down. To help in his quest, Jake enlists the aid of his friend, Buck Miller, and a reclusive outcast named Abe Garner. But Jake soon learns there’s more to the old hermit than anyone knows.

And once trapped in the swamp, the boys discover the creature they seek isn’t the monster they thought it was...

It’s something much worse.

When hope is lost, faith will find the way back.

[Terry Conrad · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was not what I was expecting. I don't know why but I was expecting a suspense filled book. But I must say I throughly enjoyed this book. Teenagers to adults can enjoy this book. The author is a great storyteller and I found myself totally engrossed in this book. I love how the author intertwined lessons on faith, hope, sacrifice and living our lives for our reward in heaven, not on this earth.

I really enjoyed this coming of age book. It surprised me because I wasn't sure about the alligators but it turned out to be good.

I love books by Tom Pawlik his stories always amaze me. Any age group would enjoy them as they don't have any bad language or sex in them.
