Take Me to the River-by Will Hobbs

Fourteen-year-old Dylan Sands and his cousin, Rio, are on a ten day canoe trip down the Rio Grande River. Even a hurricane weather advisory and border dangers can't deter the boys from making this trip. They are traveling in some of the most remote and rugged areas of Big Bend National Park and are surprised by a man and a seven-year-old boy who wander into their camp. The man, who tells them he and the boy have lost their way and need help, acts suspiciously and the boy seems fearful. The cousins offer help and end up in a life-threatening situation, both from the river and the man.
