Book Reviews of Hatchet

Book Review: My 4rth grader got me hooked!
Summary: 5 Stars

Not only adventure and suspense, but documents perserverance, patience, and how reality comes through thought. Brian's struggles are at a magnified level of the ones we all face, but at the same time put ours in perspective. Paulsen has a wonderful way of communicating experiences and opening different perspectives of existence to young readers. This book is especially recommended to any young people going through difficult times, as it cuts to the quick with emotions, but provides the driving force to live and succeed.

Summary of Hatchet

ALONE

Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present -- and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parent's divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self pity, or despair -- it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive.

For twenty years Gary Paulsen's award-winning contemporary classic has been the survival story with which all others are compared. This new edition, with a reading group guide, will introduce a new generation of readers to this page-turning, heart-stopping adventure.
