Reading Olympics Series Book 1

Title: Woods Runner

Author: Gary Paulsen

Characters: Samuel, Annie, Sam's Parents

Setting:  Pennsylvania during the American Revolution

Book Length: 161 Pages 

Summary: Sam has to go on a rescue mission after his parents are kidnapped during the war. Along the way he is hurt but finds relief in people who help him along the way. During one stop where a particularly nice family feeds him, an attack occurs. He runs away in time, but not before he watches the people who were hiding him die. Their daughter is now an orphan but finds Samuel and he makes sure she stays safe. Annie then becomes his little sister after his parents are saved. 

Lots and lots of history, and really depressing at times but not terribly boring. It's actually a pretty good story, just not even close to my personal favorite list. A lot of story told in a tiny amount of pages.

Summary: This book is amazing! This book isn't about a girl stuck in between 2 boys, it's about a girl fighting to protect her family and trying to change the way her country is. I know it's like everyone knows what THG is about, but they don't! 

Like I always say, books are always better than their movies. Look at Percy Jackson for an example!
