Our time as colonists is coming to an end and we now must return to the 21st Century.

Greetings Adventurers!

Can you feel the suspense thickening in Chapter 6? Yesterday, we discussed how Daniel was able to lead the other boys to safety because he was taught survival skills from his uncle.

Take a moment to read a little bit about him by clicking on the Randomhouse link under the Blogroll. After you have read the article please share your thoughts about Mr. Paulsen’s unusual childhood.
