Austin Davenport and his lovable crew hit the great outdoors and the great outdoors hit back!

The students in the graduating class of Cherry Avenue Middle School eagerly await their eighth-grade class trip, typically an extravagant affair. Just Charles thinks they're drinking tea with the Queen of England. Austin is looking forward to a couples' massage with Sophie and lounging by the pool. Ditzy Dayna thinks they might visit the Man in the Moon. So this coddled crew doesn't know what to do when their miserly principal cuts the budget and sends them down the river. Literally. Even with paddles, they're not exactly equipped to go with the flow and handle all the mayhem heading toward them.

When a storm hits, Austin and the others are separated from the rest of the class, leading them on a wild moose chase (literally) as they try to survive the less-than-glorious vacation.

It's man, woman, and child against nature. And of course, there will be a whole lot of Austin vs. Randy.

Will Austin get eaten by a bear? Randy hopes so and is even taking bets on it.

Will Mr. Gifford find love in the most unlikeliest of places?

Does soggy food still taste better than Cherry Avenue cafeteria's curious chicken? Yes. Yes, it does.

Will the crew come together and make it out alive or will things devolve like Lord of the Flies?

Can Austin find his inner outdoorsman and save the day? We all know that's unlikely, but at least you'll LOL as he tries.

Besides writing fun, snarky humor and the occasionally-frequent fart joke, I love spending time with my family, coaching my kids’ various sports, and successfully turning seemingly unsandwichable things into spectacular sandwiches, while also claiming that I never eat carbs. I assure you, it’s not easy to do. I know what you’re thinking: this guy sounds complex, a little bit mysterious, and maybe even dashingly handsome, if you haven’t been to the optometrist in a while. And you might be right.

My goal with my writing is to engage young readers with fun and adventure. With so many competing forms of entertainment available to our kids (and so many of them mindless), I really try to provide a reading experience like no other.

I value the importance of combining fun with learning and life values. My stories are humorous and adventurous with strong characters and solid life lessons with some potty humor sprinkled in. You gotta give the kids what they want…Hey, it’s better to read fart jokes than to play video games, right?

I have not read any of the other books in this series, but I received a free copy of this one and wanted to read it and freely review it. I enjoyed this story. The characters were fun to get to know and the story was interesting and fun also.
