Publisher's summary
Sam is an eighth-grade girl living a regular life, enjoying her family, school, and traveling. She doesn't feel different, but sometimes others treat her differently because she has Down syndrome. Sam's private journal chronicles what begins as a summer vacation...and turns into a brand new adventure, filled with friendship, mystery, and a secret island.
Dr. Sean Adelman crafts this second book in the series with themes of diversity, acceptance, and growing up. Listeners will laugh, learn, and hold their breath along with Sam as a simple stay at the beach becomes more exciting than she ever imagined.

Gabriel Clarke is mysteriously drawn to The River, a ribbon of frothy white water carving its way through steep canyons high in the Colorado Rockies. The rushing waters beckon him to experience freedom and adventure. But something holds him back - the memory of the terrible event he witnessed on The River when he was just five years old. It was something no child should ever see. Chains of fear and resentment imprison Gabriel, keeping him from discovering the treasures of The River.
