The Winter Room is a short novel by Newbery Honor Award-winning author 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 (U.S.). Like many of his works, it evokes a harsh rural environment using vivid imagery, and has elements of a coming of age tale.
According to Hurst, it is a "brief, intense novel with incredible descriptive scenes" (n.d.), and Schmitz rates it as one of Paulsen's best.Publishers Weekly found "Newbery Award-winner Paulsen never disappoints, and proves his talent again in this remarkably good tale"
