I thought it was a good book. I thought some parts were boring like when people came over, but I liked the book. SPOILER I think its's good to let Sam run away because that is what he wants to do.

SPOILER ALERT!!!! This book has a lot of adventure so if you like adventure this is the book for you

I think it was ok but sometimes boring. It never really got my attention.

I love his life is sounds so wonderfull

This is a good book ,but the ending is not my favorite.

I'm not trying to be mean but I don't like the ending

I like this book because it has lot of good description. This story is about sam a boy who left his home to go and live in the wilderness. It also has some tips about how to survived in the the woods. The woods is were the story takes place. I would recommend this book to people who like action.

This book is good for if you like the outdoors or if you like a good read. This book is good if you want to see a little boy from the city survive the wild. Sam and Frightful are best friends. Sam and his journey is so fun and exiting that you will want to read it over and over agin.
