Summary: Reader from southern California
Review: I think it's incredible how a 13 year old boy could survive in the wildernes of Canada when I can barely survive in my room for 2 hours without a snack. I live in sunny San Diego, California, where it never snows. I can only imagine being in CANADA lost in the forest, surrounded by all that wilderness, and only having a hatchet to survive. Raw fish, berries, turtle eggs, and no fire for the first few days are definitely not my idea of fun. And after that, finding out the fish Brian's been eating have been feeding on the dead pilot's flesh almost made me puke. How about when Brian gets into a fight with a moose that almost breaks most of his ribs? Finally, Brian decides enought of that, he needs to find a way to civilization. Buy this book and soak up the adventure.

Summary: An amazing story of the epic battle, man versus nature.
Review: Imagine being stranded in the wilderness alone and learning to survive. We all think about it at least once in our life, learning to hunt, getting shelter, and staying sane. In the book, Hatchet, Brian Robeson, age thirteen, is stranded in the Canadian wilderness, after his plane crashes, with only a hatchet and the clothes on his back. Brian was on that plane to his dad's house because of the Secret... This survival-fiction book tells how Brian undergoes a complete character change. When he first arrives he is relatively weak, but eventually Brian has keen, alert, senses, and he is a stronger person. In the book, Brian must deal with insane moose, and making a new friend; fire. Hunting and food gathering is a major part of the book, which makes it seem very realistic, but will Brian ever make it home alive? This book is a Newbery honor book and I believe it is very deserving of that prestigous award. Gary Paulsen's portrayal of someone in that predicament is very accurate. He puts you right in the action and in the struggle. I recommend this book to people of all different ages and backgrounds. You will feel every moment of hope and rejection in this amazing Paulsen novel.

Summary: Review on Hatchet
Review: I strongly recommend this novel Hatchet. It was written by Gary Paulson who wrote many great award winning books, including a great sequel. I would give them both four stars for great survival stories. I found the middle and end of Hatchet very entertaining, but the beginning didn't have nearly as much action. A 13 year-old boy, Brian Robeson was going to see his dad in Canada when the pilot of the two person plane got a heart attack and they crashed. Then he was stranded in the wilderness with only a small hatchet on his belt. A good plot. The writing style of this book was pretty good. Gary Paulson put in alot of action but didn't make it too scary, but he made it very realistic. I asked myself, is this really a realistic fiction? Gary Paulson made it seem like the story really occurred. Now I strongly recommend you to read it yourself to enjoy.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ!
Review: Really one of the best books i have ever read! First it talks about his mother's divorce and the"secrect"then the plane crashed and he had to survive in the wildness with nothing but a hatchet his mother gave him i think it was a little obvious that he should have gotten the surival kit in the plane in the first place and i think it's really FUNNY how it ends and it's cool the way he describes the plane crash.

Summary: Timeless!
Review: When I was in 4th grade, I did a book report on this novel (which I absolutely loved!). Just recently, I came across it at a garage sale and decided to give it another go. Paulsen is incredible! Everything he does is great; he really heightens his reader's awareness, an important thing to do when you're writing for children. There are a couple scenes I found a bit disturbing (ie. seeing pilot having a heart attack, kid seeing pilots face after it had been eaten away at by fish), so I'd have to say this book is more appropriate for older children. In any case, it's a wonderful read and will have your child wondering if he or she could make it in a similar situation.

Summary: A wonderful book for the Young Adult Literature world.
Review: Gary Paulsen's Hatchet is a wonderful addition to classrooms. This book would probably serve well in a junior high setting. I read this book when I was in junior high, and again in college for a YAL class. The book is very entertaining and easy to read for the less advanced readers. Paulsen is exceptionally good at introducing more difficult words, and then explaining what those words mean. In this way, he can expand the readers vocabulary without confusing them. The book could also appeal to those with more advanced reading skills, because of it's almost peotic rhythm. The author gives his reader the emotions and background of his characters, and then lets the reader fill in the blanks as to how their own senses would react. I would recommend this book to teachers and parents of students who need to devolope the love of reading.
