A review by froggylibrarian1
Big Game by Dan Smith

4.0

This was a pretty intense story. Oskari is a Finnish boy and is about to turn 13. For his "initiation" he must go into the woods along with a traditional bow and bring back something. Up til now he has been a bit of a letdown and he can't even pull the bow string right before his trial. But everything changes when he witnesses some men blow Air Force 1 out of the sky. Oskari now has to find and rescue the President.

There was a lot of action. There was a bit of swearing but not so much that I would keep it out of the library.

I am glad I already have the book...maybe I can "sell" it a bit before the movie comes out and then in the fall if my students have seen it.
