Review of The Transall Saga by JN

The Transall Saga is an exciting adventure book. It is another incredible installment to the Gary Paulsen treasury.
Mark, a 13-year-old camping/survival fanatic is making a solo camping trip across the desert. There he encounters a mysterious beam of light. Careful as he is, Mark stumbles into it. After waking from a spell of unconsciousness, he finds himself on a desolate land, unknown to Earth- or is it? Slowly, Mark recalls the previous events and begins surveying the land around him. he finds people who assist him in finding information about finding his way back to his home. But during his search, he makes a startling discovery that will change the way he looks at his current situation.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action and a twisted storyline. Gary Paulsen also manages to sneak in some little- known camping tips and facts with expertise that only master authors can write with. For this book, I think the older you are, the more sense it will make to you.
