About book The White Fox Chronicles (2002)

Very few people on Goodreads appear to have read this book. There's a reason for that. I read this in 8th grade, and really enjoyed reading it. And why not - the book is basically a combination of just about every action movie you've ever seen. I think Gary Paulson just wrote this book because he thought it would be fun. The story takes place in 2057, where America has been taken over by an evil group of people called the CCR - that stands for something, but I can't remember what. Are they an ethnic group? A previously undiscovered country? We don't know, and are not supposed to care. The only important thing to remember is that they speak their own language and are evil, freedom-hating bastards. They've set up prison camps all over the country (after bombing Washington), and that's where our protagonist, the All-American Hero Character, has to escape from. He does, of course, and spends the rest of the book fighting super evil bad guys, accquiring super awesome fighting skillz, and getting to use a lot of super awesome futuristic weapons. (A gun that shoots laser beams?! It must be THE FUTURE!)Gary Paulson is well known for writing survival-based books like Hatchet (which is extremely good and worth picking up), and with The White Fox Chronicles is obviously experimenting with different genres. He shouldn't have bothered. He obviously knows a lot about weapons and survival tactics, and when the plot requires these things it's very well-written and interesting. The problem is that the book is supposed to be set in the future, but as far as new technology goes, the book seems to take place in 1980. There are no security cameras at the prison camp, and they store all their confidential papers in filing cabinets (the locks of which can be easily picked by our 14 year old hero). I don't remember anyone even using a computer during the whole course of the story. So in conclusion, I'm giving the book 3 stars because, honestly, it was an entertaining read and I liked it. Then again, I also like Top Gun, so it's all relative.

He is in a jail and there were other people there too.tCody one day caught the guards of Guard and started to run when he got out of the gates. After that the guards noticed that Cody was missing and they went after him. He found a way out of that area and started walking in the woods. He got out and got away from the guards.

I loved the book.I would recommend this book to all of my friends. Because it is a fun book to read. It is the book I've read in a while. I recommend this book to everyone.

I read this book while in elementary school and (until I stumbled upon Harry Potter) it was my favorite book. I look back and flip through the pages and see it for what it is, an action-packed book with a war-hero who is barely a teenager. When I was younger the book fascinated me and I read it multiple times because of all the intense action scenes, upon flipping through the pages once again; I realized it was as if the main character Cody Pierce (White Fox) was jumping from intense scene to scene with casual breaks in between. It is a very exciting book with little boring moments, except when necessary for scenery explanation, which Gary does quite well. The books within themselves are titled: Escape, Return, Breakout. Which is fitting because Cody is brave fourteen-year old war hero.
