Woods Runner - by Gary Paulsen (Paperback)

I thought that Woods Runner was a very good book. It told a lot about the history of the American Revolution. This book not only told history, but it also told the story of a thirteen year old boy's life, Samuel. He enjoyed being in the woods, and hunting. He always brought food back for his family. One day he was hunting and he saw something that he thought was smoke. He went back home to see what was going on and his parents were not there. The setting is Pennsylvania in the year 1774, but Samuel then traveled to New York to rescue his parents. This was the start of the American Revolution. In my opinion, Gary Paulsen is a great author, he writes very good books about nature. He has showed this by writing "Hatchet," "The River," all of the Brian books, and more. I would recommend this to a teenage male. This book is only around 150 pages, so it is not difficult.
