The Trap
By John Smelcer


       If you are a reader who loves fiction and stories that involve surviving into the wilderness you'll probably be interested in The Trap by John Smelcer. I've only read a small portion of this book and so far it has been making me more and more interested of what will happen next. The main characters are an older man named Albert Least weasel, and his 17 year old grandson Johnny Least Weasle. Albert has been living in an Alaskan villiage his whole life and his father taught him how to trap which is a form of hunting. One day Albert went to go to check his traps on his daily routine and Alberts wife begins to get concerned about where he is because he was taking longer to get back than usual and she wonders if Johnny should go out in the Alaskan wilderness to go out and find him.
     You should go to your local bookstore and buy this book as soon as you can because this book will keep you “on your toes” and I'm sure you'll like this adventurous read. So if you love adventurous stories about getting lost in the wild you should definitely get this book.
