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.
