    I loved this book as a child, read it again and again... I even imagined I could run away and live in the wild. Wonderful stuff.

    I've heard of this book but never did read it. Sounds like I'd enjoy it even as an adult. Actually, I've read a number of young adult books lately that I've liked better than some of the adult books I've picked up.

    I have never heard of the book, but it sounds like something that I would enjoy even now but I doubt that I would ever put it into practice... not at my age lol :)

    I think myself a survivalist and could handle most things but as far as safety from wild animals and such nope Ii think this sounds like a wonderful book especially for our younger and a wonderful lens

    I'm sure I couldn't 'survive' a week alone in the woods, much less a year, but this looks like a delightful book for youngsters -- like you and your sister -- to 'try out' things and learn about nature without giving up your basic security. An adventure to 'dream' about and imagine -- great things at any age.

    I remember reading this book when my daughter read it in school. I figured I wasn't quite up to surviving alone, but I really enjoyed learning about how to do it and it seemed like a plus that my daughter read it too (in case she ever needs to survive in the wild)!

    This book made a big impression on me when I read it. I remember many incidents in the book vividly.

    I have not read this book as far as I can remember, but you did a great job with this lens!

    What an exciting experience to have a sister to share such wonderful things with. My sisters and I are like night and day. I am a true nature lover and my siblings-well, they are completely different. "Blessed by a SquidAngel"

    This is one of my all time favorite books and one of the few that I've read more than once. I loved playing in the woods as a child, so this book feed right into my deepest fantasies!
