Summary: The Transall Saga
Review: The Transall Saga is a thrilling book that would appeal to many young adults. The fast pace plot keeps your thoughts in the book even when you are not reading. It makes it very hard to put down. Gary Paulsen is an exceptional author that has captured the minds of many young adult readers through his books of survival and adventure. The Transall Saga is no different. Being one of the first science fiction books Paulsen has written, he has proven he can write just as well in different genres. His vision of the new world in this book is fascinating. He doesn't leave any of the senses untouched as he goes in depth in the setting. Paulsen has a way of bonding the reader and the character. Mark, the main character, must adapt to a strange new world and survive long enough to find a way back home. But as the reader, you feel frustrated and start to loose hope along with Mark. On many accounts my heart was working up a sweat as Mark ran or was threatened for life. Overall, I thought this was a great book for young adults or simply a quick read some of the more advanced readers. Either way, the book will catch you, and Mark's adventure to find a way back home will keep you reading. Then, you can find out for yourself if the ruler of the new world will give Mark the secrets he needs and still allow him to keep his life. The theme that we should all adapt to change is something that we could all use. If this is your first Gary Paulsen book, your in for a treat. Hopefully, it will open you up to more of his pieces.

Summary: the greatist book ever
Review: i think this was a good book b/c it was out there but it had a real life twist at the end ,and the blue light there was no info it kept u thinking how it got there and it had a real life twist in it. The characters were down to earth. How the person grew from a boy to a man was very exciting, especially since he had no parents to grow up. Him and monkey dog friend had a very close relationship. The web feet were very understandable because of the nuclear bomb that put the country in a submission.

Summary: Transall, A True Saga
Review: The Transall Saga was a very thrilling story of a teen named Mark. Mark, an inexperienced hiker, decides to backpack through an old missile range. Mark discovers a strange light and is transported to a new time and world. The story really begins in this new world where Mark has to learn how to find food, shelter, and learn how to survive. All while trying to find a way back to earth and his family. Along the way, Mark makes friends and enemies, and goes through many trials and tribulations.
In this story the author, Gary Paulsen, does an excellent job of putting you in the story. For example in the beginning of the story mark has to go through this..."Just as he turned, the chattering sound came closer and grew to a defining roar. Something hit the ground behind him. He spun around and received a crashing blow to the side of his head."(Pg. 15) You feel like you're there going through that with Mark throughout the whole story.
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good adventure and anyone that has ever read anything by Gary Paulsen.
I was sorry that it had to end.

Summary: The TRANSALL SAGA review
Review: Noone has ever been in to the future but the author, Gary Pausen, makes it seem so real. The book, THE TRANSALL SAGA, is based around thriteen-year-old Mark HArrison. Mark begins his journey in a desert hiking and sees a blue light. He walks towards it. Suddenly, he blacks out. He awakes to be on what appears to be another planet. THE TRANSALL SAGA is all about survival of the fitest.
Mark is a relatively calm and cool character. I mean, who can survive in a world that they knows nothing about with the clothes on his black and a pocketknife. All his life, Mark has wanted to saomething like this. Know he is forced to. Through out his journey, Mark makes loyal friends and dreaded enemies.
Mark soon learns the dangers of the new world . The first thing that attacks him is a buffalo like creture. He learns about the scorpion things when he layes on top of a colony. In the jungle, there is always the danger of falling out of a tree while collecting food. There is the chilling howl of the Howling Thing which he hears every night before he flls asleep.
One day while on a scouting trip, he finds an arrow. That means there are other humans in the area. Mark is torn with indesicion. Were they savage or helpful? There are many "species" of human on the planet. All of them are kind of savage.
I rate this book highly because the truth is a lot better then what you can think of. This book has sword fights, chases, survival, and suspense all in one. That's why I recamend THE TRANSALL AGA by Gary Paulsen.

Summary: Great for a sequel
Review: First, if you have not read this book you have to read it, you are hooked from chapter 1. It would be great if Gary Paulsen wrote a sequel like brian's winter. What if the blue light never came and he had to make a life living on the new planet earth. I think a sequel to this book would be as great as the Hatchet sequels. Please send responses to this.

Summary: A Beginning Reader's favorite
Review: This book was read aloud by the teacher in my son's 3rd grade class. He was so caught up in the adventures of Mark that he had to purchase the book to read on his own. He could not wait to find out what was going to happen next. This book changed his view on reading for pleasure. He now can see the pleasure one gets from reading! A must read for those children that love action packed suspense filled stories, yet find reading a chore. It changed my son's attitude 180 degrees!

Summary: The Transall Saga
Review: I read the Transall Saga by Gary Paulsen. I have read many other books by him , and so far this is my favorite. I gave it a four star rating because it is really interesting, has realistic characters, but lacks good description. The plot is really exciting and I loved the ending. The characters had realistic personalities that were easy to identify. it lacked good description, though, for the other senses besides sight. It is a good blend of a sci-fi and a survival story. I would recommend it to anyone older than 13 that likes these genres of writing.
