White Fox Rox

White Fox Chronicles is about a 14 yr old kid who escapes from a CCR concentration camp in the year 2056. Cody will then return to blow up the camp. After Cody escapes to an Army base he goes on journeys blowing up other concentration camps and weaponry warehouses. Cody then earns the reputation of the White Fox for his brains and bravery. Some things I liked about the book was the detail it went into. Like the part where Cody was walking through the desert it explained how blistering the heat was. The part I didn't like was the length of the story I wish it would go on farther or have a sequel. If you want to know more about the story read to learn more about Cody's friends.

The Big Ace Review

The White Fox Chronicles By Gary Paulsen Main Character The main character of this book is Cody Pierce. Cody is a rebel leader of a children's barracks in the year 2057. Cody is living in war time when the U.S has been conquered by the evil Confederation of Consolidated Republics, otherwise known as the CCR. He is a daring courageous boy with amazing survival skills. His most amazing skill is that of a gifted lock cracker. Why does he have this skill you ask? Cody's friend, a major crime thief has been teaching Cody to successfully crack locks ever since the beginning of the war. Plot The year is 2057 when the U.S was conquered by the evil CCR. Cody has been captured by the CCR and placed in a high tech prison camp full of American hostages. He must escape this horrible place to free not only himself but all of the CCR's prisoners. Setting The story takes place in a prison camp located in the United States. High tech electrical fences surrounding the camp detain many Americans. The prisoners suffer regular beatings and their food is given out in small rations. The conditions are absolutely barbaric. Theme The theme of this story is war and fighting. This theme is carried throughout the book. It is highlighted at the books conclusion when Cody releases the American prisoners, plants bombs around the camp, and blows it to smithereens. Critic's corner I enjoyed reading this story very much. It was action packed, full of adventure, and always kept me guessing about what would happen next. I would definitely recommend this book to another 6th or 7th grade boy.

The Best Book in the World

This book is the best book in the world because he made it so you could actually see what he was writing about. There was a bunch of suspense, and there was a bunch of action and adventure. They should definately make a movie of this book, starring me.I hope Gary Paulsen writes more White Fox Chronicles.

Fighting a bleak future.

The America of 2057 that Cody Pierce, the hero of this novel, lives in is one filled with hopelessness and despaired. Conquered two years ago by a totalitarian state, everyone that survived was sent to forced labor camps. This is an action-packed story, but besides that, it shows the importance of courage and hope, and how even a small contribution is important.
