sewjess 's review for:

Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen
4.0

I was amazed at the attention to detail that Paulsen has for historical fiction. I truly enjoyed Samuel's family journey they went through during the American Revolution. This seems to be an aspect that is often over looked in history classes. I know in my own experience we focused on the soldiers and very little on the effects of the civilians. Plus I also liked the little side notes about communication, travel and other aspects of daily life that we take for granted. Excellent book, recommended for fans of historical fiction and those looking for a good adventure story.
