Summary: One of his best!
Review: Being a Gary Paulsen fan, I may be a little biast, but this certainly is my favorite book. This fantastic story caught my attention just by looking at it. As usual, I found it in my favorite section. It paints a picture of a single father struggling to make ends meet with his son, Corey. Stealing a hotel bible, Corey's father studies it and performs fake healings with cheap sermons. Tricking people out of their money, Corey and his father are in the midst of deciding if this is true. All this is beautifully written on the back cover, but, hey, this is a review. I recommend this book to almost anyone able to read, for it is extremely short and easy to follow. I guarentee you that you will not be dissappointed, lest you object to the Christian religion. If you have already read this book, I suggest you try the Hatchet series or one of Paulsen's other books, The Crossing.

Summary: The Tent Review
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I like how the father and son family found religion in their time of need. They started out preaching only for money, but ended up preaching for the sole purpose of spreading the word of God to those less fortunate. This moral has made me think about how I live my life, and I will always keep this story in mind as I go about my day.

Summary: The Tent
Review: In this book, a father is looking for a better life for his son, Steven. Cory, the father, is making minuim wage and cannot keep a job for extended periods of time. One day, Cory decides he if tired of living this way and begins to think of ways to make money. Finally, he remembers a friend he once had. Many years ago Corey's friend began teaching the gospel. However, he did it only for the money collected in the offering. Corey decides this is the way to become rich, so Corey buys a tent and sets off with Steven to preach the Lord's word. They go to many cities throughout Texas preaching and even at times faking miracles, until Corey one night when Corey decides to finally read the bible. He picks it up and begins to read, and to Steven's surprise by the next day he is a true believer. He admits his sins to his next congregation and decides to travel preaching the word for no money at all. This is a compelling story about a lost soul that found the Lord just in time. The stories only set back is the fact that it is short and by the time you get intrested it is almost over. Thats why I gave it four stars instead of five.

Summary: Christian message from children's author.
Review: It was refreshing to read a children's title written by a major author with a Christian message. There are a couple spots with questionable phrases, but it's nothing to worry about. The story follows a boy and his father on a summer trip across the South to make money. After actually reading the Bible, he decides to tell people about Christ and his death on the cross.

Summary: A Parable of Greed
Review: Stephen and his father, Corey, live an economically poor life. One day Corey decides to become a tent revival preacher to make some money. When his efforts meet with success, Stephen and Corey enjoy a wealthy life, unlike anything they've ever known. But when Stephen's conscience starts to get to him, he is faced with a conflict between honesty and a wealthy life with his father. This book is short and simple, especially compared to Gary Paulsen's usual fare. However, the story is not cut short at all. The outcome is convincing and uplifting. The writing is excellent, and deserves a spot on Paulsen's more acclaimed books like Hatchet, The Winter Room, and Dogsong.

Summary: Ecellent Story
Review: The tent is a great book. It is about a father (Corey) and a kid named (Steven) who are poor and can't afford anything. This is a great book by the way Gary Paulson creates the plot. The father and son need some money badly. Corey's friend was also poor until he became a priest and also became very rich too. Their friend owed them a favor, so they used and got an old army tent. They went to a hotel and stole the bible a very tricky and clever way. They started in little towns and started getting money to pay needs. They are also doing this illegaly. This book is very interesting and once you get past the beginning it is very hard to put down. It is vey exciting through the beginning and the end, read it and you will find out how good it really is.
