About the Book

2014 IPPY Gold Medal for Juvenile Fiction --Independent Publisher Book Awards He was the sole survivor when his village was massacred. The boy spends his days alone in the woods, feeling more of a kinship with animals than with the people who took him in but never really accepted him. THE BOY WHO RAN is a middle grade novel about a Native American orphan trying to find a place in the world. The story is set six thousand years ago in the mid-archaic period of North American history.

Review :
It has all the things I look for in a book: a protagonist to cheer for, a nicely drawn story arc, and a unique "voice". But even better, The Boy Who Ran also taught me some things about the daily life of the hunters-gatherers of North America (6,0000 years ago). As another reviewer pointed out, it is a bit like Clan of the Cave Bear, but for children. This book would be a great addition to any elementary or middle school library. Highly recommend. ***** I purchased the book more to learn of the culture of the Native Americans of that period than anything else. What I didn't expect was an excellent story, a likable main character, and a plot that made me lose some sleep. ***** A captivating. can't-put-down book for young adult and adult readers. ***** Purchased this for my grandsons ages 10 and 12. I read it first to make sure it was appropriate reading material for their ages and enjoyed the story very much. I suspect boys will enjoy this story more than girls would, yet, I have to say I loved it, and I'm a girl....an old one.
