Summary: Not your typical Sci-Fi
Review: We were assigned to read this book for my school's bookclub. At first I was disapointed that we were going to read a nerdy sci-fi book but once I got though the first chapter I was really interested. This book wastes no time at all getting into action. You will be hooked by page 11. It's a thought-provoking book, I am really looking foreword to discussing it!

Summary: Truly, the best book i've ever read!
Review: This book was the most thrilling story I have ever read! I'll tell you what the story is about.

One day Mark goes out camping. When he does, he discovers that a meteor or something fell to the earth. He goes to check it out when . . . ZIP! He gets sucked right in. Now he's in a whole new world. Or is he? He learns how to survive and all the traps of the jungle or so called, planet. One day he goes out searching for water and gets captured by some village people. They take him in and THEY get captured by another tribe! He learns how to speak the villages peoples language and the tribes language. Now he is starting to do work for them and the call him a slave. But he saves them several times and earns their respect. He is now one of them. He is one of their best people in the land they say. One day, the tribes master comes and studies Mark. The master has a helmet on so you can't see his face. The master finds Mark a little strange and wobbly [meaning that he doesn't trust him]. Now Mark has lived there for a very long time. He now realizes that he has to go off again and find the "Blue Light" that sucked him into this world. He must go through dangerous areas and even fight. Even the master of the tribe has a secret to tell! Find out more by reading this!

Now if you've read that, then you must be wanting to read this book! This book has some bad, scray, frightening, and joyful parts to it. That's what makes it a good story, right? Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this book and it's a very good read and worth your time and money!

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST EVER
Review: This is a great book filled with incredible surprises. It is definitly one of Gary Paulson's best works. It is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Mark who goes on a solo camping trip on a missle range. Mark is transported to another world whichis savegely populated with stange animals that are different combanations of different animals. At first Mark thinks it is another world and there are no other humans. But he meets many tribes of humans. These humans, different from humans like mark are also smaller than he is. Mark gets through his teenage years first as a slave, then as a hero, then a lover and finishes a warrior. The only thing I didn't like about this book is that the book jacket says he finds startiling powers. These are not the powers you think they are, but you'll have to find out for yourself. This is a great book-- one of the best ever!

Summary: Pretty good Paulsen
Review: This book was recommended to me by my 12-year-old niece. She enjoyed it and convinced me to move it up on my reading list. I'm not sorry I did. While this is not Paulsen's best work, it is an enaging story that kept me captivated right through the end. When, 13-year old Mark falls into a mysterious beam of light while on a solo camping trip, he is transported to what seems to be a solitary jungle-world. He eventually discovers he is not alone and becomes involved at several levels with the native peoples. He learns some of the local languages, lives through being a slave, transforms himself into a hero, gains friends, and falls in love - basically he grows up - under very trying circumstances. Mark's story is interesting not only for the adventure but also for the growth that can be seen in Mark. I was kept wondering right up until the end whether he would make it home or not and whether I wanted him to or not.

Summary: Super Fantastic!
Review: I loved this book and it was much better than I thought it would be. I loved the way how Gary Paulsen described what Mark was doing. It was sooo good that I actually thought that I was Mark while was reading it! There was no part that was boring to me at all. I laughed and laughed when Mark got a bird poop right after he got out of the quicksand. All the parts of the story was fun and interesting except for one part. That was the part when Mark got in to the beam of light accidently while he was being attacked in the last part of the book. It was sad because he couldn't marry Megaan and had to go back to his time. It was really emotional. I suggest everyone that reads my review to read "The Transall Saga".

Review: I was assigned to review this book in class for my literature final. I am not a big reader so I was upset about haveing to read. The day after I got the book I got sick and had to stay home from school. To pass the time I sat out in the sun and read the whole book in two hours. This book was exciting and although it was slow at first, when the story got going, I couldn't stop reading. The key character is Mark a young boy who is into hiking. His parents let him go on a hike in a desert and he promises to meet them at the other end of the desert. While Mark is setting up camp one night he sees a wierd blue light. He climes closer to it and falls into it. When Mark wakes up he is in a red jungle. He goes through a sieries of troubles such as quick sand and finding food before he finds other humans. Mark finds some great compainions and a great adventure!
