Great!!! January 25, 2006
The SURVIVAL! books shine. The story is so vivid you can experience what the characters are experiencing and you can feel the unearthly fear of succumbing to the violent forces of nature. Book #5 is really good! Adventure buffs, check it out. I'll warn you, though--the father's an idiot!
My review July 29, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I recommend this book to any one who likes excitement or good adventure. It's very exciting because you don't know if Will or Jess will find water or food. It has a lot of adventure because Will and Jess have to travel through sand storms, quick sand, and desert. When Will and Jess go through the sand storm they have to take shelter in an abandoned cave. It's a very tight space and it's hard for them to breathe. They have to go without meat for days before they find a weak ox, which they then cook over an open fire. I like the characters in the book because they are very independent and different. Will shows his self-sufficiency when he tries to go ahead to look for the rest of his party in the valley. In conclusion, if you like good adventure and great excitement, this is the book for you.
A gripping tale of survival in the deserts of Death Valley. August 6, 2000

Twelve-year-olds Will and Jess Brantcourt are a twin brother and sister travelling west with their family to California in 1849. Because of their father's stubborness, the Brantcourts end up being separated in the desert from the rest of the wagon train. Now their wagon has broken down and their father is seriously ill, and the family is unable to continue. Now Will and Jess are the only ones that can save their family from death. So the determined twins set off across the desolate, dry, and unforgiving deserts of Death Valley. The valley threatens to live up to its name every moment of Will and Jess's desperate journey to find help as they encounter heat, thirst, hunger, and dangerous creatures. But they're determined to carry on and not give up, because their family is counting on them. This was another great book in the Survival series. I highly reccomend it if you like historical or survival stories.
Another great Survival! book. August 24, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Death Valley was another great book in the Survival! series by Kathleen Duey and Karen A. Bale. This book was about a brother and sister, Will and Jess Brantcourt. Mr. Brantcourt has decided the family will go west to search for gold in California, even though no one else in the family wants to go. Then he decides they will take a shotcut that will supposedly get them to California faster - one that goes through the cruel, unrelentingly hot desert of Death Valley. Then Pa gets sick from an injury, and the Brantcourts' wagon breaks an axle. Now, it's up to Will and Jess to go find help for their stranded family - for they are the only hope the Brantcourts have left. But can they survive in the desert with only scant food and water, and get help for their family before it's too late? Read this exciting book to find out!
Will and Jess struggle to survive the desert of Death Valley August 23, 1998

Will and Jess Brantcourt, their two younger brothers, and their mother and father are travelling west to California to find gold in 1849. Will and Jess resent their father uprooting them from their home and making them travelling across half a continent chasing his dreams. Mr. Brantcourt decides they will take a shortcut, but it takes them through the burning desert of Death Valley. Separated from the rest of their wagon train, their covered wagon with a broken axle, and with Pa seriously injured, Will and Jess must set off into the desert to find help for their family before its too late.
