5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful October 13, 2012

There are many characters introduced throughout the book that may be confusing; however, the adventure aspect grabs the reader, especially halfway throughout.

Such as the oddball Marvin, unfriendly leader of the pack of dogs, who refers to himself in the third person.

I love Allen's peculiar logic, because his trail of thinking does make sense, in a way, though it may be unreasonable. However, I dislike his "and so forth and so on," although it does show a lot about Allen's personality: He's a very composed squirrel, a perfectionist, one who always talks formally; "I must object". Although he has good intention, he also is very indecisive.

The 'army of ants' mentioned in the book reminded me a lot of the book The Survivors.

In the end the story left me hanging as to where Jack has been. Was it all in his mind or did he really go there, and no time passed?

I loved how they all came together to fight the fire -- Boris the groundhog and Angel the eagle and Jack and Allen-- I love how they all understand the consequences if they don't work together. And how Angel was wise and cautious enough to not celebrate immediately, tempting as it might have been, for the welfare of all. Jack was the main character, but if not for Angel's wisdom all would have burned, for if she had not countered Allen's logic that "a rock does not burn," then maybe everything would have burned down anyways.

Give this to fans of Robyn Hill's GRUM!, they will go crazy for it.

Move over Lewis Carroll. Fun London is your newest competition. Lost in the Woods is an adventurous tale of a boy named Jack and his crazy encounters in a strange mysterious land full of talking creatures. From the very beginning, I could not stop reading. I had to know what was going to happen next. This book will keep you on the edge of your recliner with your Kindle in hand. Fun story from start to finish. The best part is, Fun London has written other stories that I can't wait to buy.

More About the Author

Alfundo "Fun" London was born in Florence, Italy. His mother was a beautiful blonde with an adventurous spirit. Much less is known of his father as he was lost in the stormy seas off the coast of Ithaca shortly after Alfundo was conceived. After spending his youth on the island of Corsica learning the language and ways of the French, Fun found his way to America and settled in the hills of Pennsylvania. He spent some summers in Canada and others working for a carnival where he met many interesting people who fueled his imagination.

"I have always loved life and I find the people I meet to be of great interest. I believe in the basic goodness in us all and in the joy of creating. I try to write stories and books that are fun, that have action, that make you laugh, that entertain, and that remind our youth that life can be a great adventure. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right." -Fun London
