• Gary Paulsen is a dog-sledding woodsman whose
  main goal is to run an 1,180 mile race to Nome
  from Anchorage, Alaska. This book is a
  repetitive novel about him practicing and running
  this race.

34

• Dont read Woodsong, it is a pathetic excuse for
  a novel . If you want to read a stronger outside
  book I recommend Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen.
  Hatchet focuses on a bright young fourteen year
  old boy, Brian, who get stranded in the woods
  after his pilot has a heart attack. This book is
  filled with action, adventure, and suspense.
