Brian's Hunt
Gary Paulsen
Random House
Realistic Fiction
This book is so good that you'll beg the author to make another one. Brian's Hunt made possible by Gary Paulsen is an awesome book part of the Hatchet series. In this exciting book Brian who once was lost in the Canadian woods,(and while he was there he changed) decides to go back only having a canoe,fishing supplies,some weapons to kill game,and a little food. While he was there he finds a dog. The dog has a gash in his leg,but Brian fixes it,but the way the gash is Brian can't do any thing but wonder about it. Brian and the dog set out on a adventurer north. Along the way Brian sees things that he will never forget. He discovers a bear is the one who has caused the gash on the dogs leg and all the other disastrous things brain sees. He sets out to kill the bear with the dog and his supplies,but the question is can he do it.
In Brian Hunt there is two main characters Brian and the dog. Brian acts tough in the book. He also acts sad. He uses his strength to hunt,get though the sad times,and kill a wild bear. The dog is also strong,hes sad sometimes,and hes always hungry. But Brian and the dog fight though hard times. Together they make a great team.
The book Brian's Hunt is a book like no other. The thing I like about this book is that he hunts. So I'd recommend it to people that like the out doors. The mood of this this book is so hard to explain because there is so many moods. At one moment he could be happy and then the next he could be sad. If you like Hatchet then you will like this book because they are a part of the same series. I'd recommend this book to people who like to hunt and adventures. I think 4th 5th and 6th graders would like this. Trust me once you pick this book up you won't want to put it down.
Summary of Brian's Hunt
Millions of readers of Hatchet, The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return know that Brian Robeson is at home in the Canadian wilderness. He has stood up to the challenge of surviving alone in the woods. He prefers being on his own in the natural world to civilization.When Brian finds a dog one night, a dog that is wounded and whimpering, he senses danger. The dog is badly hurt, and as Brian cares for it, he worries about his Cree friends who live north of his camp. His instincts tell him to head north, quickly. With his new companion at his side, and with a terrible, growing sense of unease, he sets out to learn what happened. He sets out on the hunt.
The multitudes of Gary Paulsen fans (or more accurately, Brian fans) will be thrilled to find that the author has penned yet another story about Brian Robeson. Although Paulsen once claimed that he would "write no more about Brian," he seems to have been softened by the "staggering amounts of mail from readers" begging for more about the teen who is more at home alone in the wilderness than in the hustle and bustle of city life. In Brian's Hunt, the 16-year-old returns to the remote woods and lakes of Canada, where he encounters a mysteriously injured dog. His experiences two years earlier, after surviving a plane crash and months alone with only a hatchet to protect and provide for himself (Hatchet, Brian's Winter, etc.), have prepared him well to survive now. But can anything prime him for the horror that awaits him on an island campsite where he intends to meet his Cree friends?
This short episode is rife with the kind of gritty--even gruesome--details readers have come to expect from the Newbery Honor author. In an afterword, Paulsen reminds readers that he bases his stories on personal experiences and his extensive knowledge of the wild side of nature.
Confidential to avid fans: an intimation of romance amid all the rugged drama hints that this will not be the last Brian book, either. (Ages 10 to 13) --Emilie Coulter
