A great read! I couldn't put the book down and read it in two days.

"Into the Den" put me through the whole range of emotions: from great sadness to bust a-gut laughter. This book is for everyone, young and old. The young will identify with the modern day trials and tribulations of crossing from adolescence into being a young adult. The older and more mature readers will reflect back to their youth and will enjoy the generational bonds and virtues passed between the three generations of characters in this book. Jesse Mattson, although very young, is a brilliant writer. His precocious writing and perceptive views on life show a maturity way beyond his age; some people attribute this kind of wisdom to an old soul.
A superb new novel and novelist

Every once in awhile there comes along a book that captures a time and a generation. Into the Den is such a book. Like a Separate Peace or Lord of the Flies, this book is filled with characters that grab hold of you and pop into your mind long after you have put the book down. Sam Conway the voice of the book has much to tell and you feel like you know him well by the end of the story, which leaves you wanting to know what happens to Sam next.
