Devils Pass Book Review by Brett Mews

 The book Devils Pass written by Sigmund Brouwer is a fictional book that is a mix between a mystery and adventure story. The main setting is the North West Territories where the main character Jim Webb is trying to find something that his now dead grandfather sent him to do in his will. Webb doesn’t yet know what it was but he is trying to find out. He and his cousins were each given a task with everything they need and Webb’s first step was to find his grandfathers old friend.

                  Webb lives in a very small town called Norman Wells where he plays his guitar, the only thing that made him happy. He was expelled from school and ran away from home because his new stepdad tortured him in painful ways. He played his guitar on the streets to make money when he finds an older, bigger man named Brent who started to bully him. He gets into a situation with him but comes out on top. But Brent was mad and had a reputation to never give up on revenge.

                  Webb travels through the forests of the North west Territories with his guide and two German twins. He had to walk a long distance to get to this place he was sent to by his grandfather. This whole time, he is keeping a lookout for the grizzly bear. He wasn’t worried about Brent but he probably should have known his reputation. Webb faces many challenges while trying to succeed in his grandfather’s task. To Webb, his grandpa was not like anyone else and he wanted to make him happy.

                  Webb and his guitar go on a long journey to face many obstacles and some pretty creepy things along the way. He hopes to do what his grandpa wanted because of everything he had done for Webb. He perseveres to the end to achieve the goal for his special grandfather.
