First Blog - Woods Runner By Gary Paulsen

This book is a historical fiction story about a 12 year-old boy and his life getting intruded by the Revolutionary War. He loves the forest, and one day while he is away hunting, his parents are captured by the British and taken away. He goes on a journey to find them and meets many redcoats (the British soldiers) on the path, but also many friends along the way. I loved this book and read it very quickly. It also included facts about the war at the start of every chapter, which I enjoyed and kept me interested.
