Wilderness By Roddy Doyle

Wilderness is a adventure book about 2 boys Johnny and Tom who live in a rough family as thier Step Sister Grainne hates thier Dad. He got re-married and she was very upset and as a result the boys and thier Mum have to flee the country to Finland to go on an Adventure holiday. Without the boys knowing Grainne's real Mum is on her way to the house from living 11 years in NY. The boys are having the time of thier lives until thier Mum's sled doesn't arrive home one time, and they realise she may be stuck out there to freeze in the vast Frozen North and it is thier destiny to find and rescue her. This is an outstanding book and is a great read for any age. I recommend it to any one who LOVES an Adventure book. I rate this book a 8/10 as there could have been more dialogue between Grainne and her Mum.

Another great thing about this book is that it is written in two halves between Grainne and her Mum, and the boys story out in Finland.
