Customer Reviews

A young boys thriller!

Wow! I chose this book for my 8 year old who was just branching out to read on his own. I read it before hand looking to find a book that would grab his attention and hold it. This book is well written. Packed with facts about bears and Alaska. A lot of action, everything a rambunctious boy needs to hold him still to read! This was a major key in his love of reading! It was also one of the first kids chapter books that I had read in many years... and I found it very enjoyable.

Great book on survival for students of all ages.

Tyler is VISITING his uncle in Alaska. I had a great sense of what Alaska, and it's wildlife is like after reading this book. I am going to recommend it to my intermediate elementary aged students as well as my high school aged son who is a reluctant reader. It is fast moving and enjoyable. While I usually use a Paulsen book when kids are looking for an adventure book, this book reads quicker and will be a hit. I am going to go out and buy the entire "Against The Odds" series for my elementary school library today!!
