Review: I might like this book better than Old Yeller. While not quite the emotional classic as its predecessor, Savage Sam is fast-paced, full of action, and brimming with effective period detail. I can't imagine any 10 year old and up boy not loving it. In the book, the children from Old Yeller are captured by Indians, and their father and the other menfolk set out on the trail with Old Yeller's son to retrieve them. I gave it four out of five stars because I reserve full rating for a handfull of absolute classics. This isn't far behind.

Summary: Savage Sam
Review: My 10 year old son is reading Savage Sam..... he can not put the book down! I caught him in bed with the flashlight after the light were suppose to be out for bed-time. It has the same characters as Old Yeller and Sam is the offspring of Old Yeller...... Truely a great book.... an adventure for children....Little Arliss was captured by Indians in this book.

Summary: 11 year old Sadie's Review
Review: Savage Sam is an exciting and adventurous book. It takes place in the foothills of Texas in the past. Travis, the oldest son of 2, is working out in the field when he hears the Indians coming. Rounding up all the horses, Travis, his brother, Little Arliss, and another girl, Lisbeth, the Indians try to fight off Savage Sam, viciously fighting for his master's life. Finally the Indians kick him off and ride off into the prairie with their loot. Over hill and dale, river and stream, the horses run at a death pace. Their riders are clinging to their bare backs, and Savage Sam is chasing after them, though far away. Travis tries to devise a plan to escape but is rounded up again. Will Travis, Little Arliss, and Lisbeth ever escape or be rescued? Still, Savage Sam is following tirelessly. He is getting closer now, though! The Indians are getting a little riled up, too. They keep going faster and faster! In addition, Sam is getting closer and closer! This is a wonderful cook but a little violent. I recommend this book to older elementary (5th grade) and young adults. It is an action-packed book full of love and tragedy. You'll find out when you read this amazing book.

Summary: I did not like Savage Sam very much.
Review: There are two reasons why I did not care for this book. One reason is it had alot of killing and blood in it. A lot of of settlers and Indians got hurt and killed. Another reason is it had alot of words that were hard for me to understand. The book would have been better if Fred Gipson had written the words in a different dialect. Even though I did not enjoy the book I think it would be better for kids that are older than I.
