The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper; Adapted by Les Martin
ISBN: 0-679-84706-5

As the English and French both settle in the American frontiers, war soon begins. Two daughters of an English Colonel begin their journey to reunite with their father, but not soon after, trouble stirs. Many Indians join forces with the English, as well as the French making the war larger. The two daughters, Cora Munro and Allice Munro, are challenged to go through this dangerous journey. After many strugles, Cora and Allice manage to reunite with their father, but are soon parted by an Indian suprise attack. Cora and Allice are out of sight. Colonel Munro and his allies search for his daughters despite of the French and the Indians after him.

The Last of the Mohicans is an adventure book because Colonel Munro, his daughters and his allies are on a dangerous, suprising quest, but has a satisfying resolution. 3 specific examples that prove that The Last of the Mohicans is an adventure book are (1) Cora and Allice are tricked by an Indian named Magua, (2) the people who lived in Fort William Henry are suprised with an ambush, (3) and Magua dies in the end, making a satisfying resolution. The Last of the Mohicans are filled with suprises, but ends witha satisfying resolution, which makes it an adventure book.

I think that this book was very suprising, because it had many twists and turns that nobody would have expected. I liked this book because it was interesting, but easy to read. It is also very touching to see the love between the family, and also betweent the Indians and the English.
