Whole Family Enjoyed This

I have a sone going into fifth grade. He is dyslexic so I wanted a grade and age appropriate book that he could share when discussing summer reading. He loved this book for the adventures of the woods and the relationships of different cultures coming together.
I think I enjoyed it as much as my son.

This book was a very Exciting the first few pages were fantastic and a little funny over all it was a

great book some were very nice I don’t have any complaints about this book I think if you want to learn/be entertained about how things were back then you should try it but at first ( like most books ) does not seem that entertaining but it’s very entertaining.On top of all of that if you read this you will hear the people in the story talk a lot about how they are separated. But like I said it’s a very good book! You should read it! Also you might not like it this book does not have to be for every one.But try to read it and if your on chapter 11 and you still don’t like it you don’t have to read it.

Highly recommended

Excellent story. Immediately reminded me of my 12 yo grandson and his sister. Called to tell them and they had already read it!

Awesome family experience

We listened as a family ages 7-11 and it was incredible for helping learn different perspectives and deepen gratitude and appreciation.

Beautiful tale of survival

I love that it is based on a true story. It was so beautiful that the Indians taught a boy alone in the wilderness so much.so much.

Good like Hatchet

I have always enjoyed good clean adventure stories for teens. I enjoyed this very much.

Very very good story.

I like the book!I would recommend it to my friend Jackson. and I did not dislike a thing my favorite part what is the bear fight!'!!

<br />amazing loved it

love it it was so great. I would want to read it again . There should be a series

Empathy at its finest

I couldn’t have loved this book more. The mutual trust and respect that each boy ended up feeling for each other as they went through their individual challenges in their vastly different worlds was beautiful.

Loved it

One of our favorites! Entertaining and educational. Interesting. Believable. Realistic. A really beautiful story about friendship, hardships, grit, courage and determination.
