My favorite book as a kid....
This is the most amazing story of a young child who has to learn quickly and grow up fast. It also teaches a lot about living off of the land. I read this book over 20 years ago and when I finally saw it in print last year again, I had to buy a copy so that I have one. Whether you are a Girl Scout a Boy Scout or just someone who likes adventure it is a must. I recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors and adventure. If I could have I would have given it 7 stars.

I read this book at age 12 and now am buying it for my son
This book truly paints an everlasting picture in the readers mind of what happened to Peter in his struggle to survive and his hopes of returning home.I read this book in 6th grade and liked it so much I am now getting it for my 6th grade son. Thanks R.Rosbury

I read this book about five years ago as an adult, a school librarian. I lost track of the title and have been haunted by the book ever since. Tonight I found the title, tomorrow, I will order it for my library. It will fill the adventure nitch in my school library, along the lines of Paulsen's Hatchet, but even more unforgetable because of the hermit.
