Description
Zach and Zoe are camping with their parents in a British Columbia forest when a girl at another campsite wanders off. It takes all of the twins' smarts and know-how to rescue the lost camper and get back to their campsite safely. From the fear of wild fires to the fear of wild bears, the twins are in for one wild, wet ride.
About the author
After nearly 30 years as a published author, Kristin has written more biographies of herself than she cares to remember. And she has run out of new ways to describe the same old life. Besides, she doesn't think of herself in terms of her birthplace, education, and work history. What she'd really like people to know about her is that she loves to dance. She loves to laugh. She loves to learn. Crossword puzzles relax her. Waiting frustrates her. She likes spending time by herself. And, like the heroine in her new book Closer to Far Away, she has a family that gives her strength. Her books include Cheat, Girls Like Me, The Druid and the Dragon, and Alibi. Kristin lives in Campbell River, British Columbia.

Editorial Reviews
Once again, award-winning author Kristin Butcher involves the inquisitive twins in an engaging and exciting adventure.
Young readers looking for an action packed adventure story will certainly enjoy Zach & Zoe and the River Rescue.
Highly Recommended.
CM: Canadian Review of Materials
"...plenty of dialogue and the pace is lively and fast. Snippets of survival knowledge...add realism to the story as well as give the reader useful information."
"...a good independent read for a beginning chapter book reader. There is lots of action and suspense, but not too scary for the novice reader."
