This book is about a 16 year old boy, named Rick, who got sentenced to a 6-month term at a detention center. He ends up escaping and meets an old man in the middle of all the red rock canyons. This guy sets up camp here to observe the condors, since they are becoming extinct. Over time, these two become better friends. Two old guys show up to try to shut down this camp. Rick and Lon, his friend, work together to fight these old guys off. I would recommend this to people who like adventure books.
