Must Read

Wild Timothy is a great book and I'll tell you why in the next two paragraphs. Timothy is thirteen year old boy who doesn't like to be out doors. He would rather read books than do anything out side. His Dad and brother are out doors men. They like to camp, fish, and do most things out doors. His dad makes Timothy go camping and fishing even though he doesn't want to. One day while camping with his dad Timothy gets lost out in the woods at night. He has to survive with only an ax and a copy of "Lord of the Flies." He doesn't know anything about the wilderness, but he remembers from different books he has read, tips on how to survive in the wilderness. He finds that he can make it on his own in the wild and eventually finds his way home.
