Recensione:

"Seventeen-year-old Chris Craven has always idolized his older brother, Cam, who served as a caring and creditable role model after the death of their father. Now, however, Chris learns that Cam is mentally unstable and that he has taken off from the posh hospital where he was receiving treatment. Chris hits the road with Cam's hospital-mate Michelle and her sister Millie for a site in South Dakota that Cam had sometimes mentioned. Finding Cam at the Sons of Liberty 2 compound is not all that difficult, but Chris soon realizes that the 'camp' at which Cam intends to bond with nature is actually an anti-government militia. . . . As Chris and Millie unobtrusively assume guardianship of their older siblings, their common responsibility becomes the foundation for romance; even readers who have only come along for the road story or the militia showdown will be delighted to wish them well."--The Bulletin

"The strength of this work lies in Chris' personable narrative voice. . . . [It's] consistently accessible, insightful, and occasionally witty [and] makes for enjoyable reading throughout."        --Booklist
