Miles, his sister, Sarah, and their parents were forced to leave their cushy suburban home and flee to the north woods in the violent aftermath resulting from cataclysmic volcanic eruptions two years ago. Winter is setting in. All they have to get them through is the milk from Sarah's prized possession--her goat--and Miles's memory of wilderness survival skills. When Sarah tries to regain some normalcy by attending the local school, she realizes she is no longer quite the person she used to be. And when a horrific twist of fate robs Miles of his memory, he discovers the heart of his true identity. With its fast pace, accessible writing, and suspenseful, driving action, even the most reluctant reader will enjoy this engaging read. Extras included in the paperback edition. Praise for Memory Boy: "Hand this book to both Gary Paulsen and science-fiction fans and stand back. Riveting and all too believable." --VOYA "Vivid characterizations, nonstop action, and an entirely plausible plot combine for a thrilling story." --ALA Booklist
