The Rock Jockeys

The rock wall above them was as smooth as polished black marble. There were no crevices and no ledges. They would have to fight for every inch. Rick looked at his friends. J.D. and Spud nodded silently. Rick stood up and started. His job would be to make the trail. Their job was to make sure he lived through it.
 
High atop treacherous Devil’s Wall, The Rock Jockeys find much to explore. Sheer mountain cliffs. Wild woodland. Even a crashed B-17 bomber! But when they stumble upon a crew member’s diary—and underneath other eerie clues—the boys realize Devil’s Wall also holds a gruesome secret. That secret leaves The Rock Jockeys with a haunting question: If trapped on the mountain, would they do anything it takes to survive?

      Gr 4-6-This story will grab readers in the first few pages and keep them in suspense, but it falls apart and ends rather abruptly. To its credit, though, the chapters are short and difficult terms are defined at the end of the book. The premise is exciting-without their parents' knowledge, three young boys, the Rock Jockeys, set out to climb dangerous Devil's Wall in hopes of finding the remains of a World War II bomber. Once atop the mountain, they find not only the bomber, but also a diary hidden in it. One of the boys breaks his arm, and another stumbles across human bones. But the author's hint at possible cannibalism remains just that, and the story ends quickly. This adventure is average at best, though it will probably be enjoyed by youngsters looking for action.-Denise Furgione, Atlantic County Library, Mays Landing, NJ
