The Transall Saga

by Gary Paulsen

Mark's solo camping trip in the desert turns into a terrifying and thrilling odyssey when a mysterious beam of light transports him to another time on what appears to be another planet. As Mark searches for a pathway back to his own time on Earth, he must make a new life in a new world. His encounters with primitive tribes bring the joy of human bonds, but violence and war as well--and, finally, a contest in which he discovers his own startling powers.

Reviews

[Nicole Lynn]

This was action packed and a fast-paced novel. I probably would have given it five stars except for the ending which left me unsatisfied. I was hoping Paulsen would have ended it differently. Otherwise this was a great Sci-Fi / survival story. I'm sure a lot of readers would be entertained by the story and Mark's adventure. I definitely felt immersed in the story and the setting. The characters were fun and interesting to read about. Would be interested to see the world again :)
