Summary: Review of Rescue Josh McGuier
Comment: I am a boy that is the same age as Josh and lives in Idaho. I can identify with the main character and the background of this book that takes place in and near Bozeman, Montana. It is a great book if you want to take an adventure in the mountains of the west with a bear cub and a dog.
This book shows how a boy my age, has the potential to change an old hunting law that states that hunting bears in the spring, when they are mothers with young cubs, is okay. Many cubs are orphaned like the one in this book and usually die because they cannot live on their own yet.
Josh rescues a bear cub that is orphaned by his drunken father while hunting. He cannot stand hearing that the cub will be "disposed of" or sent to a laboratory for experiments. So, Josh runs away with the cub, Pokey and his dog, Mudflap into the mountains until the law is changed and he can keep Pokey. Josh really stirs up everyone by doing this. Local and national news reporters are all hipped up over this story of the boy and the bear.
It's a kind of book that looks at all the different perspectives of the story with characters. Josh McGuier is the main character, Sam & Libby McGuier are Josh's parents, Otis Sinclare is Josh's friend and Deputy Bruster Bingham is the officer that is heading up the search to find Josh. Josh's family is breaking apart because of the death of Josh's brother. Sam McGuier is having a hard time coping with the death and turns to drinking and verbally and physically abuses Josh. Josh is having trouble with the death also, and wishes that his family could be like it was before the accident that killed Josh's brother Tye. Libby McGuier is trying to hold her family together and get some answers from the police. Otis Sinclare and Deputy Bingham are on Josh's side but wants Josh to be home safe and sound.
This book teaches you to communicate with each other and maybe things will work out better. I like the ending but I am not going to give it away. You will have to read it for yourself and go on a adventure with Josh, Pokey and Mudflap.

Comment: Reviewer-Middleburgh Student or Wolf Girl
Rescue Josh McGuire by Ben Mikaelsen
This book was a very exciting book. The main characters are Josh and Pokey (the cub). A boy named Josh McGuire has run away to the mountains. He has run away because he doesn't want "his" cub, Pokey to go to a laboratory. Pokey is an orphan because Josh's dad, Sam, shot the mother not knowing it was a mother. His dad calls the warden and the warden says he is coming out to get the cub. So Josh runs away with Pokey and his dog, Mud Flap. He is going hungry and he is freezing. He doesn't want to go home until he can keep Pokey and there is no shooting of bears. The cops are out looking for him and can't find him. I recommend this book to kids that like adventures or books about animals. I liked this book a lot it is very interesting and is a gripping book. When you start it you can't put it down it is and excellent book. I recommend this book to middle school kids because there is some hard reading but easy enough for them.

Summary: Rescue Josh McGuire-5 stars! my opinion.....
Comment: In Language Arts class, a group of students (including me) chose to read the book 'Rescue Josh McGuire' written by Ben Mikaelson. After we had read the book, we had to write a play about it. We are filming the play today since it is the perfect time of year (snowstorm) and the scenery is just right today, opposed to other days. We thought that the book deserves 5 stars because it is very suspenseful, yet you can predict what's going to happen *sometimes that's a good thing* it's a really good book & we recommend you read it
