Summary: helppp
Review: Hachet, by Gary Paulsen, is a very strang book. Brian Robeson must survive in the wilderness by his observations of nature. He's a kid who has horrible luck and then good luck. For example, Brian is cold and mosquitos are biting him. He learns how to make fire, which gets rid of the coldness and the smoke gets ride of the mosquitos. I like the book because of all the animals Brian sees in the forest. he sees wolves, rabbits, porcupines, birds, turtles, and fish. I also like the way he survies and how he depends on one single tool. I would recomend this book to people likes adventure stories.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Have you ever been lost in the Canadian forest with only a hatchet? Well Gary Paulsen wrote a book about it in Hatchet... The theme is to never give up. I thought it was that because he never gave up when he was in the forest. The people in the book that were looking for the main character never gave up to find him.
The main character in Hatchet is Brian Ropeson. He is a preteen who gets stranded in a Canadian forest. Brian Ropeson is a tall boy with black hair, but, sometimes he can be stubborn. One of the reasons he lived was because he forgot to take off the present he got from his mom, a hatchet.
The setting is in present time. I know that it could have taken place between the 70's to now. The setting takes place in New York and Canada. About one and a half months went by in the book.
The plot is vary easy to follow. It is about a boy who is flying a small plane to see his dad in Canada. Brian runs out of fuel and has to crash land the plane in the forest because there is nowhere to land. Then, he is stranded there with a only hatchet to survive.
This book is one of my favorites. Out of a one to ten rating I give it a ten (ten being the best). I give it a ten because it is not impossible to do what he did and it was very interesting. But if you want to see if he survives I suggest you read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.

Summary: Hatchet is a good read!
Review: Hatchet was interesting. I was amazed how Brian survived with just a Hatchet. I can't believe he could dive so well. You would want to read this book because its is about a kid who is in a plane crash and survives in the forest for 54 days. It is suspenseful, and I had a hard time putting it down. Not good for kids under 8, because there is one gruesome part.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Very Bad and Boring book
Review: Although I never got past chapter 8 in this book, the part that I did read was very bad and unrealistic. There is a very slim chance that the pilot would have a heart attack on a plane, and then Brian Robeson, the main character, would actually be able to fly the plane at all. Then there would be an even slimmer chance that anyone would survive a crash of such greatness where a wing broke off and the plane crashing into the lake, and then swimming out. Furthermore, I don't like this book because of the odd survival skills that Brian uses during the part that I read. I would not suggest this book to anyone.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Hatchet

A boy, trapped on an island wondering what to do. He is stranded out where no one can find him. What should he do? Gary Paulson's book, Hatchet, is a great book for people who like adventure and survival books. Personally, I like the book for many reasons. First, the book has a lot of action, and second, I can relate to the book a little bit. One of the best reasons I read the book is because my friends said that it was a great book to read. When I started reading the book I could see how the boy who got stranded felt. The best section throughout the book was probably when the boy figured out how he really missed his parents and how he wishes he could have a second chance. For you to experience the thrill of the book, Hatchet, read the book and see what you think of it.

Review: This story is a story about a 13year old boy named Brian. His mom and dad have just started a devorce. Now he is on his way to Canada to meet his dad. Before leaving his mom gives him a hatchet. On the plane the pilot has not said a thing. But, a few minutes later things start to change. The pilot soon says to Brian if he wanted to try to steer the plane. Brian was a little nervous. But, he did it. He kept it even with the horizon. Soon the pilot started to hurt in his left arm. He had really bad pains. Soon the pilot called someone on the radio.
Then, Brian knew what was going on. The pilot was having a heart-attack. The pilot died and Brian was left alone. He trys to call for helpbut it was to hard yo hear. The boy then stares to think majorly. He knows he is just going to die. Sooner or later the plane's engine dies. Here comes the crash!! CRASH!!! The plane lands. The pilot is dead,but Brian is alive. Now he needs food!!
