Book Review: Hatchet




 














Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

Summary: (amazon)

Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present -- and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parent's divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self pity, or despair -- it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive.

My Thoughts:

This is a very well written, well thought out book! I loved it. Brian's story of survival is believable, incredible, fun, and frightening at the same time. The writing is great and the plot was very well thought out. I would definitley recommend this book.

Content: Cautious--scary situations

PG 10 and up
