The Winter Room is a Newbery Honor-winning short novel by Gary Paulsen. It is a realistic fiction story about logging and farming, narrated in the first person to two boys by their Norwegian uncle in the "winter room" of a farm in northern Minnesota, United States. Like many of his works, it evokes a harsh rural environment using vivid imagery, and has elements of a coming of age tale.
Reception
According to Hurst,[1] it is a "brief, intense novel with incredible descriptive scenes", and Schmitz rates it as one of Paulsen's best.[2] Publishers Weekly found "Newbery Award-winner Paulsen never disappoints, and proves his talent again in this remarkably good tale."[3]
