Samuel, a thirteen year old boy, lives on the frontier of Pennsylvania with his parents. One day, Samuel was out hunting and he saw smoke above the trees about where his village was located. He thought it was his neighbor, but he thought wrong. It was a group of attackers. They had burned down every cabin in his settlement plus more. They had killed everyone, except a few prisoners, including his parents. Samuel is terrified as he tries to find his parents. Once he catches up to them, a very small war starts and it is right in between him and his parents. He was hit in the head by a tomahawk, a small axe, and fell suddenly to the ground. Six to seven days later, he wakes up with a group of Indians. They said they would take him to New York to find his parents. When he grows stronger, the Indians are too slow for him, so he tells Coop, the Indian that saved his life, that he was going ahead of them by himself. As he travels, he meets Annie and her family. He goes through many adventures on his way to save his parents. Will he be able to save his them in time? Read Woods Runner to find out.

This book was very well written. Once I got into a good part, I simply couldn't put it down. I loved this book, but there was one thing I didn't like about it and that was there is always someone dying. Other than that, this book was amazing. I like the action and how there was never a time when there wasn't action going on in it.
