My Project
Each year we read the books "Woods Runner" by Gary Paulson. We read this book as a class while learning about the American Revolution. Our students love this book and we would like to have each student have a copy of the book to follow along.
"Samuel, 13, spends his days in the forest, hunting for food for his family.
He has grown up on the frontier of a British colony, America. Far from any town, or news of the war against the King that American patriots have begun near Boston.
But the war comes to them. British soldiers and Iroquois attack. Samuel’s parents are taken away, prisoners. Samuel follows, hiding, moving silently, determined to find a way to rescue them. Each day he confronts the enemy, and the tragedy and horror of this war. But he also discovers allies, men and women working secretly for the patriot cause. And he learns that he must go deep into enemy territory to find his parents: all the way to the British headquarters, New York City."
