This book is about Brian Robeson who is struggling with his parents divorce. While flying to visit his father, the single engine plane he is flying in crashes into the Canadian wilderness. While in the wilderness, Brian is struggling with “The Secret”. During his time in the Canadian wilderness Brian learns not to take things of granted. My favorite part in the book was when Brian got his first bird because it was a big achievement for him. If you like adventure, the outdoors, and survival, you will love this book. - Ev N.

//Hatchet// is about a boy named Brian whose parents are divorced. Brian is flying with a pilot to visit his dad for the summer. The pilot lets him fly a little. Suddenly the pilot has a hart attack, and Brian controls the plane, until he runs out of gas. He has a miracle and survives a horrific crash in the woods. Brian has to survive in the treacherous wild. He has to hunt for food, and there is a lake for water. He builds a fort to store stuff and sleep in. He shoots birds and catches fish with arrows. He had a fire to signal if a plane came near. My favorite connection in the book was when he had to use knowledge to survive, and I have to use all my knowledge on every play in every sport. Also, when I’m hunting I use all my knowledge. If you like hunting fishing, or just being outdoors, this book if for you. - Robin C.

// Hatchet // by Gary Paulsen is about a boy who survives a plane crash in the Canadian Wilderness. His name is Brian Robeson. Brian Robeson is thirteen years old and is flying in a small plane to see his father in the Canadian oil fields. His plane crashes in an “L” shaped lake and Brian must learn to survive in the wilderness alone. Brian has nothing but his clothes and a hatchet that his mother gave him for the trip. If he is going to survive, he will have to use his knowledge and what he learns along the way. My favorite part of the book is when Brian gets the survival pack and goes through it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes survival stories. I like this book because Brain learns from his mistakes and his fight for survival. The book I chose to read was __Hatchet__ by Gary Paulson. This story of survival takes place in the Canadian wilderness. It is a novel of determination and the will to survive.

In this book, Brian Robeson a thirteen-year old boy was flying to the Canadian border to visit his father when the pilot had a heart attack and died. Luckily, the pilot had shown Brian how to work the control panel so he could direct the plane into a lake. He was alone in the forest, and forced to use his survival skills with the help of a windbreaker and hatchet.

I liked the way Brian thought through his situations and resolved them. For example, Brian needed warmth to endure the freezing nights, so he used a rock to rub against the metal of the hatchet to make sparks and create fire.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys problem solving, and adventure. Brian displays the characteristics of a true survivor, which I know would entertain many different people. -Allen H.

This book has a little bit of everything. So I recommend this book to everyone. It has pictures but it still is a very long book. So get out there and do some reading.- Bradford R.

__The Hatchet__, by Gary Paulsen, is about a thirteen year- old boy named Brian Robeson. He is flying to Canada to visit his father for the summer because his parents are divorced. In this book, the pilot of Brian’s plane has a severe heart- attack and Brian had to land it on his own. After the plane crash, Brian’s only equipment for survival is his hatchet and a tattered jacket. __The Hatchet__ connects to __The Cay__ in a huge way. In both of these awesome books the main characters are stranded and are struggling for survival. I recommend this book to any person who desires intense adventure. This type of person would enjoy this book because it identifies how difficult it is to survive somewhere a long way from home with only one helpful tool.
