Summary: Hatchet
Review: Hatchet was a great book. It is about a boy named Brain who is on an airplane. The airplane is a two-man plane so there is only him and the pilot. All of the sudden the pilot starts to complain about his chest. Once Brian saw someone having a heart attack in a mall and they acted just like the pilot. So Brian knows something terrible is about to happen. The theme is 'If you put your mind to it you can do it'. If you like adventure you should read this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hatchet Fever
Review: This exiting and adventurous novel by Gary Paulsen is a must read for kids 10+. It tells us an amazing story of how a boy survives in the wilderness of Canada for over two months! I love this book because there is a curveball around every corner. One moment Brian(the boy) could be out looking for food and the next being rammed by a moose. The question for all you wondering is, will he survive?

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Hatchet - A story of bravery, survival and adventure.
Review: Brian Robeson, a 13 year old boy with separated parents, is on his way to visit his father in a plane when his pilot gets a heart attack. Desperate, he lands the plane in a remote lake of the Canadian forests. Despite being alone, Brian learns how to survive without a survival pack - looking for food, building a shelter for himself and hunting. He discovers fruits, hunts birds and learns how to create fire and cook. When he sees a bear, he learns how to stay calm and overcome his fears. This is a beautifully written story I would recommend for the young and the "young at heart". Read the story yourself to find out about the adventures of Brian Robeson and what happens at the end of the story!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It lasted hundreds of miles
Review: Hatchet is a very good book, and I would recommend it. Here's the first part of the story. Bryan, a kid whose parents are suddenly divorced (by his mother), before that happens he sees something, the secret his father does not know. This is what the secret is, he was biking with his friend when he sees his mother in a station wagon with a man with blond hair. While she is driving she turns over and kisses his lips. Now he is flying to his father, the pilot suddenly has a heart attack, and rams his foot inot the right rudder pedal. A few hours later Bryan has to make a crash landing right by a lake! Then he has to find food, shelter, weapons and fire with no survival pack. I won't tell you the rest because it would spoil it. I liked this book so much I listened to it twice in the car. I give it five stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A look inside Hatchet
Review: I recommend this book to whoever likes survival and adventure books. Another reason is that it has great suspense and action. When the pilot had the heart attack, no one knew what was going to happen next. When the narrator said, " The pilot stopped jerking, his legs contracted up into the seat and his eyes rolled back until the whites in his eyes were showing". This part of the book gave me the feeling that time just stopped because Brian is stuck with a dead pilot and is still in the air. Brian doesn't know how to fly a plane but manages. When Brian eats a raw turtle egg that he finds in the sand, this shows his fight to survive. He is going to survive any way possible. He has to do some brave things like pulling out porcupine quills out of his leg. "He grasped one of the quills, held his breath, and jerked." That was brave because they were deep and the pain would so bad that someone could go into shock. I think that the adventure that Brian has is very well put in the book. Everything that happens to him and everything that he does is exciting in some way. So if you want to read a book that has lots of adventure and action in it, this is the book for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Stranded
Review: Imagine being on a plane to visit your father thinking "In just a few minutes I'll be getting of in an airport to spend some time with my dad!" when the next thing you know, your plane has crashed and you're in the middle of the forest with no supplies except for a hatchet that your mother gave you. This is the story of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It's the story of a 13 year-old boy, surviving in the wilderness on his own. It's a very descriptive book and you will find yourself drawn to it from the start. The suspense is so great, you find yourself thinking "What's going to happen? Will he be found? Will he?" You actually find yourself imagining yourself as the main character. What are you waiting for? Read the book and see what happens!
