To find the way back to his own world, Mark will need to find greater resources and strength—but time is running out.

This has always been a personal favorite of mine! It's more relevant now than ever. And quite interesting to hear through someone else's voice.

I read this book when I was a kid and always come back to it as a favorite. the audible version is very good. always a good read!

the adventure

I love the adventure and the detail of the story along with an extraordinary ending. One of the best reads I've yet to read and I read

This book could have fit the CORVID19!

This is an excellent book!!! Any age, I’m 75.
The only thing that is missing, is the character’s
original people, but I’m sure they were there, someplace.
Everyone should read all of Gary Paulsen’s books!!!

Childhood Favorite!

I'll start by saying this book was my absolute favorite book in Middle School a few decades ago. Prior to being an adult I'd read the book a handful of times. Now as an adult I can see the clear Young Adult theme of the book but I still enjoyed it thoroughly. The narrator does a fine job and the story has a good flow and does well to keep your attention the whole time.

one of my favorites from school

really enjoyed this book. it's very well written. I happened upon this book in high school by chance and it easily was one of the most invested I've been with a character in a book. really enjoyed the whole thing period the ending was slightly disappointing but by no means takes away from the book I just wanted more of the story period as for the narrator he wasn't bad just maybe not my cup of tea period instead of used a little more difference in the voices for the characters but that's just me nitpicking. highly recommend.
