Review: HATCHET by Gary Paulsen is an adventure story. You have to read this book. It's super cool. If you like adventure books then this is the book for you. Once you start you can't stop. It's about a boy named Brian. Brian is alone in the wilderness of Canada with only a hatchet. Will he get home and how? The surprise ending is... The book is great.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Hatchet is a very suspenseful book. The author Gary Paulsen made it have a lot of adventure throughout the book. This book is about a boy named Brian who was on a plane all alone with the piolet. When the pilot has a heart attach and dies immediately. Brian crashes into the Canadian wilderness. Read the book and see what happens to Brian.
The River, Brians Winter, and Brains return are all the next books. They are all as good as Hatchet with adventure and suspense. Read Hatchet and work your way to these three other books.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Survivor
Review: I had heard wonderful things about this book, so I decided to give it a shot even though I am not very interested in the whole survival motif. This was the first book I have read by Paulsen and I have to admit I loved his style. The text is almost poetic in the way that phrases will repeat to add emphasis.

When 13 year old Brian's plan is forced down in the Canadian wilderness, he must fend for himself for nearly 2 months. At the same time, he is dealing with his only personal struggles, such as the divorce of his parents, the death of the pilot and his emerging adolescence. Brian learns that his determination and perseverance will get him through this struggle. The problem-solving skills he develops are also a key topic.

I would plan to use this book in my classroom in a literature study setting for 3rd-6th graders. The book is appropriate as far as the material and is on their reading level. However, I did take one star away because, while it was well written, I never got into the survivalist aspect. I enjoyed the language and the themes, but not so much the basic plot events.

Why 4 stars?:
While the book is beautifully written, I was never able to fully get into the plot. I would still highly recommend this book be used in classroom settings for small groups, as there is much to discuss.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
Review: This book, called Hatchet is about a boy named Brian. He was going to visit his father in Canada one summer, when his plane crashes in the middle of nowhere. He had to spend most of the summer alone, trying to survive. The only tool he has is his hatchet given to him by his mother before he goes on his trip.
I liked this story because it was interesting. It made me want to read on, because I didn't know what was going to happen next, if he will die, or if he will find food, or if he will be rescued.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending of the book; it just didn't fit. But you might like it, and there's only one way to find out. Read it!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: my review of hatchet
Review: He book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is a very interesting and adventurous story. It is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He was in a plane crash Brian soon found himself on a survival mission in the Canadian wilderness. He had just gone though a divorce of his parents and was very unhappy and upset. His dad moved to Canada for a new job. About half way through the trip the pilot died from a heart attack and died which left Brian alone to fly and land the plane.

His first major achievement was making fire and it was his most important. Brian also figures out how to catch food and cook it....
