Paulson, Gary. Brian’s Return. NY: Laurel Leaf, 2001. 285 pages. (Survival Series)
The book that I’m reading is called Brian’s Return. Brian is a 13 year old boy who decides to return back to the Canadian wilderness. He is trying to find a family he found before. Their names are the Smallhorns. Brian decides later on after searching a long time not to find them, so Brian says he will find them later. He has to survive in the wilderness alone for four months, so he makes a camp and keeps a journal, so he can give this to his psychiatrist who has been helping him. He writes everything that goes though the day. Brian starts his shelter- he does the same shelter as in Hatchet. Brian next goes out hunting and catches his first meal- a rabbit. He builds his fire and cooks his beautiful rabbit. He writes everything that happens today and goes to sleep.
Brian goes and looks for breakfast and he gets some water. He goes hunting and gets a rabbit. He bets that he can find something to go with his rabbit. He finds some berries. They are not gut cherries, they are raspberries, so he builds his fire and has breakfast. He writes in his journal about his day and goes to bed. If you want to know the rest, you will have to read the book. I thought this book was really good. I highly recommend this book to any readers who like survival books. This book makes me feel adventurous and exciting. This book is the best survival book I have read in a long time.
