Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen

What an outstanding writing skill, Mr. Paulsen had pleaded me once again. What an excellent book, and the story was so thrilling that I finished the book in 2 days. The book kept me on reading and almost forgot to do my other homework. I can feel the cold of the winter and I can feel Brian’s feeling of satisphying about the food. The book is like a continue of Hatchet but the story changed a bit, Brian hadn’t been rescued and he had stayed there until the winter. Still, he had adapted the weather and survived with plenty of foods. He had made a big war bow with greater damage and he uses it to hunt moose and deer. He had made warm cloths out of animal skins. In the end he had met humans and they welcome him to the shelter. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Heroes don't run

 The book began with another book called "A Boy at War". But the library doesn't have it so I borrowed this book. I can still know the story pretty well. This is a story about a 17 years old boy named Adam Pelko that lived with his mother and his dad died in Pearl Harbor. Adam really want to fight for his country but his mother doesn't allow him to do so. So he get the recruitment paper secretly and asked his grandfather, which is also a retired soldier, to sign the paper for him. He did this because he saw the Japanese took his father's life so he want to get revenge. So he became a marine and fought in the Pacific War. Later on he got sent home because he got hit by a bomb and then right after that the American won the war.

I think this is the second best book in the Diary of a wimpy kid series. It has pretty much a lot of comedies in it. And of course, an amazing plot with surprising outcomes.

But before they can bust him, a sudden blizzard hits and saved Greg from the police, but the blizzard gave Greg a bigger problem is that he got stuck in the house with his family for the holidays.
