Very good, tight writing here, and a complete story in a capsule. You caught the bravado of Ivan, and the saving grace of his school mate, Annie. This is very good work, and I am happy to add my little blurb to the many that you have already received.
Cheers, irish

Thanks so much, Gert. I appreciate your comments and your review.

This is cute. It's so much like a boy of about eight years old: bravado, pumped up estimate of ability, then "Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into?"
Of course Mom is usually there to pull him out of his perplexity. Nice job on putting all of that together.

Hey, very good story you have written. Kept me on the edge of my seat wondering if you were going to get eaten or beaten or some such horrible adventure. So glad it was your mom coming to rescue you, and hopefully you weren't too punished by getting off the school bus.

An interesting flash fiction. It is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read. There is very good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Comment from Ian Ayris
Very nice. Particularly love the writing of the forest and the snow. I notice from some other reviews, you mention the word-count. To tighten this one up, you could cut all the dialogue at the start, beginning the piece with 'I pull on my mittens, salute my friend, Annie, then step up and over the tall snow bank.' Focuses on the main character then, and starts the piece with action - always a good thing with a short piece of writing.
Hope that helps.
Warmest regards,
Ian

Comment from Ure Connection
I feel this is a story starter that has suddenly stopped.
The characters are introduced with a brief piece of potential drama before being stopped.
I encourage you to take this and write a fuller version incorporating all five senses as he sees the tracks in the snow etc.

Your comments are helpful, but in a picture book or child's magazine, where word requirements mean short, illustrations fill in lots of detail. It is a strange twist for writers. Thanks for the review.
Comment from Aarondodd1989
nice piece, slightly predictable but it's well written enough that you can get away with that. Vivid description and good character development for a piece so short. Good work.
