A novel of mothers lost and found, "Wilderness" is part roaring adventure, part family drama - with a charm that's all Roddy Doyle's. While Tom and Johnny are on a husky safari in Finland, their half-sister Grainne stays behind to face the mother who abandoned her. But Tom and Johnny are too caught up in their adventure to think of home - until they find themselves lost in the snow, in a desperate struggle for survival...

Loved this story about two young boys on a two week holiday to Finland with their mother. The writing was excellent, with fantastic imagery throughout, the story was riveting, great dialogue flowed well and sounded natural. Easy reading. Loved the descriptions of Finland and how the boys interacted with one another. It was heartwarming and real; I could see myself there. Great ending. I will buy more of his books.

Mi dispiace, non posso dare un giudizio utile. Ho acquistato il prodotto perchè volevo un testo semplice e facilmente comprensibile ma l'ho iniziato ma non ho terminato la sua lettura.

This is an exciting and easy read for adolescents, 2 boys who go on a vacation in the wilds of Norway who get involved in a sled dog rescue. I ordered it for some low readers in my school who are interested in survival type stories. Upon reading it, I found the parallel story going on back home a little heavy (mature) for my young readers. The story is good, but knowing the low reading level, I expected that it would be more appropriate for younger kids.

An interesting children's book that follows two connected stories. An easy read recommended for anyone from abouf 11 years to adulthood
