Hatchet

by Gary Paulsen   |  Ages 11+
$11.90
Hatchet
Hatchet

Teenage survival tale, wilderness resilience, emotional growth.

"Hatchet" is a stirring journey where you'll face the wild through Brian Robeson's eyes. It's a book that plunges you into the rugged Canadian wilderness with only a hatchet—a hook for any adventurous spirit who appreciates a story about grit, resourcefulness, and the human instinct to overcome insurmountable odds. If you seek a tale that marries survival with a coming-of-age narrative, this should be your next read.

Description

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 parents' 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.
