Woods Runner Audiobook

" Woods Runner is a remarkable and unforgiving tale. It opens a new perspective on the Revolutionary War and, as a matter or fact, all the wars in history. It teaches you little-known facts and truths not told in our history books and plunges you into a harsh world where even children are rarely given any mercy. The format of the book is quite new to me (Gary Paulsen wrote the chapters and in between them are bits and pieces of facts to know.) I liked it, but I don't think every author should do it. Overall, the book is short but packed with so much action, emotions, and thoughts. It's quite overwhelming. It's spectacular and a great read for young adults transition to more matured books. "

" The book is a reale good book . Because there are a lot of aventure . Is about a kid who live in the forest . He do things in the forest there are a lot of fun. "

" My 12 year old son is a "lazy" reader, but hand him a book by Gary Paulsen, and he'll read it! "

" Excellent Book..I loved it. "

" Like all Gary Paulson books, this is another one that would be great for boys. I also would have enjoyed this book when I was younger because he pulls real history into his story plot. "

" It was just okay for me man. It was a pretty unbelievable story. The book was based on facts but spun into a fictional story that was just too outrageous. "

" I loved this book. I found the combination of Historical Fiction and Adventure to be a wonderful combination. I am currently reading this book with 5-7 graders. They just started it. "

" good. a real page turner "

" Fairly good Revolutionary War story for kids who can handle some blood & gore, but who are also young enough to not know a lot of details about that period in history. "

" This book was great! Woods Runner is about a boy that lives in the wilderness. when a war with british soldiers comes to him and his parents are taken prisoners he follows them if you think what i've told u was interesting then u should read this book! "

" Very interesting, realistic look at the beginnings of the Revolutionary War. "

" I am really enjoying this book! It is so well written and unique. "

" The best Gary Paulsen I've read. I enjoyed reading about the Revolutionary War from the standpoint of a 13 year old backwoods boy. I also liked the side notes at the beginning of each chapter giving backstory information about the war. Engaging storyline and characters. Great for reluctant readers. "

" A short YA book about the survival of a young boy on the American frontier in 1776. Really well written, but probably best suited to the younger readers as it felt abit simple to me. I'm glad I read it though as I knew very little about that period of time beforehand. "

" Gary Paulsen sure knows how to tell a survival story with all the brutal details. "

" Woods Runner is a perfect fit for students wanting to read about adventure and history. This work of historical fiction really brings to life the revolutionary war. It would be a great way to get students to connect and engage with what it was like here during that time period. "

" Rebecca Caudill nomination for 2012 list: JH boys will love this one. Adventure, mystery, suspense! Will he find his parents? Will he be captured by the Indians or British? Who is friend? Who is foe? QUICK read. "
