The Winter Room
By Gary Paulsen
This is a Newbery Award book written by the man who wrote the Hatchet series and so much more. He knows about the wilderness and about boys and how we are changed by facing challenges.
This book will show you how it feels to grow up on a farm and work hard. However, there is something else happening as you go through the seasons.
The boy Eldon is discovering that stories are so much more than an amusing way to pass the time. I wonder if you have made this discovery in your reading.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.
