ON MY HONOR, by Marion Dane Bauer (Written by Payton)

On my Honor is about two boys named Joel and Tony.  Joel likes to play it safe and Tony is a person who never follows the rules and takes it to the extreme.  One day Tony tells Joel that they should climb the Starved Rock bluffs but Joel wanted to go swimming at the pool instead because he heard that someone had died while climbing the bluffs. Joel asks his dad if they could ride to the state park, expecting him to say no because it's too far away.  His plan completely backfires though because his dad says yes.  When they finally get to a bridge, Tony says they should go swimming in the river.  Joel says it's a stupid idea to go swimming in the Vermillion river but Tony goes in anyway.  Joel is really worried and stressed out because he had told his dad on his honor that they would ONLY go to the state park.  Will Joel go into the Vermillion river?  You'll have to read the book to find out!
