Hatchet

Summary: GREAT
Review: I thought that this story was great! I found it interesting how thirteen year old Brian Robeson finds ways to survive in the Canadian wilderness, using only his new hatchet. I was so interested that I read the book in one night. I then read The River and I am now reading Brian's Winter.

Summary: If you enjoy Newberry Honors, then this is a must read.
Review: When Brian gets stuck in the wilderness, I near lost my heart when he recalled everything that would have prevented it. The Secret, the Crash, the Pilot. This is the best "survival story" I have ever read. This is one of my suggestions for those out there looking for that perfect book on the book shelf...

Summary: Amazing
Review: An absolutely amazing book. Gary Paulsen creates a story of boy who learns to survive on his own: both physically and mentally. No slow points in the story, there is always something for the reader to think about and consider. Brian is a character that we can all relate to because he normal in every sense of the word...yet he is surviving in a situation where most of us would not. We can respect him for that - his work ethic, his will to live, and the humanity of himself.
