Summary: Transall, A True Saga
Comment: The Transall Saga was a very thrilling story of a teen named Mark. Mark, an inexperienced hiker, decides to backpack through an old missile range. Mark discovers a strange light and is transported to a new time and world. The story really begins in this new world where Mark has to learn how to find food, shelter, and learn how to survive. All while trying to find a way back to earth and his family. Along the way, Mark makes friends and enemies, and goes through many trials and tribulations.
In this story the author, Gary Paulsen, does an excellent job of putting you in the story. For example in the beginning of the story mark has to go through this..."Just as he turned, the chattering sound came closer and grew to a defining roar. Something hit the ground behind him. He spun around and received a crashing blow to the side of his head."(Pg. 15) You feel like you're there going through that with Mark throughout the whole story.
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good adventure and anyone that has ever read anything by Gary Paulsen.
I was sorry that it had to end.

Summary: An Exhilarating Adventure
Comment: 13-year-old Mark goes on a solo-backpacking trip in the old Magruder Range when a strange blue light transports him into another time. This trip turns into a terrifying adventure, which he now has to survive on his own and start a new life in the world called Transall. Along the way Mark meets tribes with unusual looking people and makes various friends. He also sees strange animals, gets involved with war, pain and fighting. Now he must search through this war torn land to find the blue light that sent him here so he can get back home. Mark soon discovers his startling powers. But when something really bad happens, all of his skills are tested. How will he win this battle of guts...literally guts? Will he find a way back or will he live in this strange world forever?
This science fiction book is full of adventure, war, love, and new and amazing things. It is a good book for young adult readers who fantasize about living and surviving on their own.

Summary: Best from Paulsen
Comment: I thought this book was a great survival story. It had sudden twists to the end of it. It always had you guessing what he was talking about. When I read this book I disliked reading entirely. This actually brought hope to me. It has such good detail you can practically visualize what the author is talking about. How he killed the massive creature or how he destroyed the evil enemy at the end. This book made you wonder what really was this "dimensional portal" linked too. A new world, another dimension, universe, the past, or even the future? You didn't know how Mark was going to survive in the jungle. He had to scavenger and make friends out of nowhere. A unexplored and unfamiliar world to him. This was actually a great, exciting, and an awesome thriller in my opinion. Until later in the story you realize this is the future not the past or another world. And the supreme king of the "future" Earth is a escaped convict from the 1960's who found the portal in a canyon and unknowingly went inside it because he knew he was going to be captured at any second from the man hunt being held in the state. Since he knew about the advanced technology in the past compared to the present in the "future" he ruled quickly and swiftly. No one knew where he came from but Mark found out what truely happened and how he came to rise in power. He was sort of a communist not letting other people discover those technologies to improve their weapons to create a rebellion against his rule. Not knowing what had happened in the past he still tries to slay the prisoner, knowing that he'll help the people in the present time. In my conclusion to this book I believed it was one of Paulsen's greatest masterpieces of writing. I've read The Hatchet and it compares greatly to this book. It has the same concept and I rate The Transall Sage a 5/5 *Stars* Great book! I recommend this to anyone who loves to read adventure books.
