Book Reviews of Cabin on Trouble Creek
Book Review: An above average survival story
Summary: 3 Stars
Although this book bears similarities to other stories about survival in the wilderness, Van Leeuwen's work has its strengths.
Two young brothers are forced to endure difficult conditions in pre-settlement Ohio while their father goes back to Pennsylvania to bring the rest of the family along. They meet Solomon, a native American, who provides both practical and spiritual advice. Solomon is probably the author's strongest characterization and this aspect of the story is what sets Van Leeuwen's work apart.
The boys' encounters with wild creatures are exciting and it is great fun to learn with them how to survive based on common sense and perseverance. The story is effectively paced and fans of wilderness tales will be satisfied by this reading experience.
