I can't help but really recommend this book to all MacGyver fans. It has a real MacGyver feel to it.

As some of you will know, I'm notoriously not a reader of books (or anything longer than a page really), but something drew me to this book and I started reading it tonight while my kids where having their Friday night computer turns.

The book is called Way of the Wolf and reads like a MacGyver adventure. It's about a teen age adventurer who is stuck in the snow covered Alaskan wilderness with his uncle and friend when their light plane crashes. I'd almost swear the main character is MacGyver. He explains what he's doing as he does things just like MacGyver does, he has that take control confidence that MacGyver has as well as a vast knowledge of survival and the skills to back it up.

The book is written for 9 - 11 year olds so is pretty easy reading, but still a really good story. It's the second book in a series of 4 so far (I expect there will be more to come)

My son is reading the first book which is also pretty good apparently, but takes a little longer to get into the action due to it being the first book of the series and introducing the character.

The book should be available in your local book store, or if not you can get it online.

I think this book was once mentioned in The Shield. They were already making fun of the character in the show who was reading it. Now I understand even better why. 9-11 years old.

This however proofs MacGyver deserves his own book series. Reading fun for all ages. Due to the lack of time, I'm not into reading much. Always starting, but finishing it is something else.

I'm an avid reader, but I think I'd have trouble getting into something that's aimed at 9 year old kids. Somebody lent me the first Harry Potter book once, and I really had to struggle to finish it because I just couldn't stay interested.

(and yes, I know that's odd for me to say, considering that I'm on a message board for a kids' show, lol.)

Sounds interesting. I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on.

Cool...I'll have to hunt that up. Kiddo rarely reads at his own age level, but he would love this series...he's very into survival and such right now and of course loves MacGyver.

Bought this book for my grandson (then 9 now 13) and he never read it. Preferred video games. I do not think BG was the author. Most likly ghosted by a pro of this type of novel. BG's names probably boosted sales. I could never figure out who did it in the Hardy Boys Books.

Well according to his web site he did write the books. Also on the inside of the books each on is dedicated to his children.

He talks about the books in some interviews and promos for the books too, so I'm pretty certain they are actually his stories. He has written some other books, so he's not a novice at writing, although they where more biography or instructional type books. In any case they are good stories.


Sounds like you need to drag your grand-kids out camping there Mr. teach them a really kewl video game called skimming pebbles off the water. Tell them they have to actually throw the pebbles like they do with a Wii
