Hatchet

Paulson, Gary. Hatchet. New York: Aladdin Paperback, 1987. 195 pages. (Survival Series)

Hatchet first began when a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Roberson was on a plane to see his dad when the plane crashed. The pilot died, but Brian survived. He was in the Canadian wilderness. He had nothing but clothes, ripped windbreaker, and a hatchet he got from his mother. He also had a dreadful secret: he knows since his parents got a divorce. He couldn’t keep that in his mind for too long because he needed all of the determination and courage he could get to survive the challenge he had in front of him.

I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read a fabulous book. I would do this because all the details. For example how the ice on the trees breaking made a sound like a gunshot. It was so good I read one quarter of the book in one night. This book also shows if that you want to do something, you can just have to stick your mind to it.
