The Winter Room

The Winter Room by Gary Paulsen is 103 pages long. It tells the story of Eldon and his family in Minnesota. during Winter the family stays in the living room listening to Uncle David's stories of other places. Wayne becomes mad at Uncle David, who he usually idolizes, for telling a story about himself and what he could do when he was young. Wayne does not like this because he thinks Uncle David is lying and being a braggart. David does what he said he could have done when he was youthful. He does not know that Eldon and Wayne are watching his feat of amazement. I like this book because of the funny things Wayne and Eldon do together.
