Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen
Paulsen does not parse words. It's as if you can actually hear the muskets. Paulsen does not use paragraphs for transition. In the next sentence, everything changes. Needless to say, it is very fast-paced. A unique feature (not a distraction) is that he puts between each chapter valuable information which is not readily available in too many other sources. This is an important dose of reality about what a person had to go through during the Revolutionary War of 1776.
