My brother read this book. He loved Gary Paulsen (although he HATED to read). Most Paulsen books are late-elementary to middle school reading level, but if you have a child who doesn't like to read (and likes adventures), Paulsen might just be the author to get your child excited about reading--even at early High School level.
I liked the book The Car. I think that anybody who likes building things or likes cars and trucks would love this book.
Gary Paulsen's books should be on the same shelf as Hinton's THE OUTSIDERS. There's the same gritty reality of kids growing up in less than 'Ozzie and Harriet' families, just doing the best they can.
A Cleveland teenager, Terry Anders, has a problem. Both his parents have run away from home. What should the 14-year-old do now? The only relative he knows of is an uncle 'way out in Oregon . . . So Terry decides he'll head for Oregon to check out this unknown relative.
What Terry learns on the trip makes for a gripping coming-of-age tale.
