When the boys' parents are called away by a family emergency, Doug and his older brother Gordon are left on their own in their Rocky Mountain campsite. The brothers are fighting, though, so it isn't long before Gordon stomps away from the campsite, leaving Doug completely alone. When neither Gordon nor his parents return after three days, 12-year-old Doug fears the worst. He knows Gordon has gone to a high ridge in the Comanche Peak Wilderness-the Fear Place. Will Doug and a newfound friend-a cougar-find his brother, or will Doug's terror of heights prevent a rescue? Newberry Medal-winning author Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is the author of more than eighty children's books. She drew on her own fear of heights to write The Fear Place, which is destined to become a children's adventure classic. The combination of her award-winning, realistic writing style and Ed Sala's well-paced narration is irresistible.

      After their parents leave their wilderness campsite to attend a relative's funeral, Doug finds he must overcome his fear of heights to rescue his brother from a ledge high above the valley floor. Sala captures the youthful voices of the brothers as the two conduct endless verbal skirmishes of sibling rivalry. Sala's steady, clipped reading helps pace the action and the emotional interactions. His brief pauses between scenes allow the listener to fully focus on the story line and help dramatize events. For heightened suspense, Sala uses a more intense and forceful voice. A pleasant reading of an adventure/survival tale sure to please young listeners. P.A.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
