I came across this book on the library shelves and thought my son would like the book...and I was right. Enough humor and action to keep a 7 year-old up until 10:00 one night as we read.

I thought Owen's vocabulary and thought process was a bit advanced, but who cares...just enjoy the time with Owen, I'm sure he'll make you laugh and smile.

Don't forget the two previous Owen Foote titles...

Owen Foote, Frontiersman is a really good book, and it has some really good drawings that help you get a better idea of what was happening in the story.

The main character, Owen Foote, is a brave boy. He is always ready for anything. When he goes into the woods, he takes red pepper flakes in case a wild animal comes!

One day, when Owen and his friend get to their fort, there are two bigger boys already there. Owen and his friend decide to make a trap so they can get their fort back. If it doesn't work and the two other, bigger boys find out who made the trap, Owen will be in big trouble!

If you like funny and adventurous books, you will like Owen Foote, Frontiersman.

This book is Great!! Because it`s about two kids that have a tree house in the forest. They take a nature book, a compass, a canteen, pepper flakes, and a hat.But two other kids are in their tree house and wreck it. So the two kids set traps to scare the other boys. I like it because I like Owen Foote books.

This book, Owen Foote, Frontiersman, was an enjoyable book because of the different events that Owen faced. These events allowed me to connect with some of the things that he encountered. Most young readers would be able to connect to having a friend like Joseph and the what Owen and Joseph encounters as frontiersman. The organization of the book was easy to follow and the sentences were easy to read and understand. There are a few pictures in black and white throughout the book, but these are not necessary but are handy for readers to connect with the event taking place. Young readers, boy or girls, that were interested in the outdoors would take a great liking to this book.

This book was FANTASTIC! I have three children aged 4-10. They all read it and loved it, including me. My nine year old son liked it the most. Stephanie Greene is and exeptional author and she writes so fluidly and perfectly for kids. I encourage her to write even more books because we have enjoyed this one and the others so much. Thanks!

What a charming, great read, especially for boys. Good descriptive setting, in the woods, every boys dream to have a fort in the woods. Enjoyable humor with the revenge on the bullies in the book. Simple yet charming text.

I read this book to my 8-year-old son and my 6-year-old daughter. both of them stared in rapture from the time i opened the book to when i said the last word. I personally also was awed at the fluency and the description with which Stephanie Greene wrote this book. I could see how my children could relate to the problems that Owen and his best friend faced. We have read the previous books, and all of us hope that another one is going to come out soon. When I finished reading my daughter frowned and said, "Awww I wish it weren't over already!" Thank you Ms. Greene, and Ms. Weston- for creating such a terrific chapter book for children of all ages.

This book was really a lot of fun to read, and it certainly was interesting. My favorite part was when Owen makes a lot of traps for the two mean older kids!

I am a family member of Stephanie Greene, and I think this is the best book in the world! the story is captivating and extremely wonderful. I would recommend it to everyone, from 6 year olds to harvard scholars.

PS: hi Stephanie, and Ol!
