    Just fourteen, Rick Walder is alone, on the run, and desperate. Stowing away in the back of a truck, he suddenly finds himself at a dead end, out in the middle of nowhere. The Maze. In this surreal landscape of stark redrock spires and deep sandstone canyons, Rick stumbles into the remote camp of Lon Perigrino, a bird biologist who is releasing fledgling California condors back into the wild. Intrigued by the endangered condors and the strange bearded man dedicated to saving them, Rick decides to stay on. When two men with a vicious dog drive up in a battered old Humvee, Rick discovers that Lon and his birds are in grave danger.

    Will he be able to save them?

    In a heart-stopping adventure infused with the spirit of the Icarus myth and a boy's dreams of flight, Will Hobbs brings readers a unique tale of identity, personal growth, and friendship.

    Will Hobbs is the award-winning author of nineteen novels, including Far North, Crossing the Wire, and Take Me to the River. Never Say Die began with the author's eleven-day raft trip in 2003 down the Firth River on the north slope of Canada's Yukon Territory. Ever since, Will has been closely following what scientists and Native hunters are reporting about climate change in the Arctic. When the first grolar bear turned up in the Canadian Arctic, he began to imagine one in a story set on the Firth River. A graduate of Stanford University, Will lives with his wife, Jean, in Durango, Colorado.

      Robert C. Koehler: The Cynic's Monkey Wrench

      Jul 28, 2022

      If you depart from an “us vs. them” philosophy of life, your first confrontation is likely to be with the cynics. Last week, for instance, I wrote about the weekend I spent, a decade ago, getting handgun training from the NRA — and what I learned, wh

      Not really my thing but I'm trying to read more "boy" books so I can have good ones to recommend. My dad commented that the last book I recommend to him was ok but "girly" with too many descriptions of clothes and feelings. I liked The Maze though I've never read Will Hobbs before so I was worried at first that it might have graphic violence or language in some tense spots but there was nothing offensive. I found myself very interested in the condors and visiting the real website to see how they are doing. I also liked that the mc runs into some good adults that help him. It reminded me of Gary Paulson.

      this was a slow book, but it gets better. the first five pages are fast, then the rest on is slow. its about a boy that is in a juvenile delinquent center for throwing rocks at a sign. he runs away, and finds himself living with a total stranger.he soon finds that he has a love for birds called condors. then two people threaten the existence of the condors,the boy,and the stranger.
