"This is a spellbinding account...a winner." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Riveting." -- Booklist, starred review Gary Paulsen is one of the most honored writers of contemporary literature for young readers, author of three Newbery Honor titles, Dogsong, Hatchet, and The Winter Room. He has written over 100 books for adults and young readers. He divides his time among Alaska, New Mexico, Minnesota, and the Pacific.
This award-winning contemporary classic is the survival story with which all others are compared—and a page-turning, heart-stopping adventure, recipient of the Newbery Honor. Hatchet has also been nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson, haunted by his secret knowledge of his mother’s infidelity, is traveling by single-engine plane to visit his father for the first time since the divorce. When the plane crashes, killing the pilot, the sole survivor is Brian. He is alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present.
At first consumed by despair and self-pity, Brian slowly learns survival skills—how to make a shelter for himself, how to hunt and fish and forage for food, how to make a fire—and even finds the courage to start over from scratch when a tornado ravages his campsite. When Brian is finally rescued after fifty-four days in the wild, he emerges from his ordeal with new patience and maturity, and a greater understanding of himself and his parents.
Gripping and adventurous I could not stop reading Hatchet. The story is astonishing - not least because author Gary Paulsen says he himself experienced nearly everything that happens to the book's only real character, Brian. The adventures and threats and risks and successes of trying to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness are told in rich detail. But the most riveting parts of Hatchet are those that show how Brian's mind works, because his brain, even more than his body, has to make sense of his new world. Paulsen brilliantly describes, sometimes second by second, how Brian wrestles with shock, fear, confusion, and the absolute need to survive. Although to my surprise I found six or eight typos in this edition, I consider the story and the writing outstanding.A MUST buy! I would read this book over and over again forever! A must read! I'm not a huge reader, never really enjoyed physical reading, I much prefer audio books, but this book is a childhood favorite that I can read over and over again! Any kid would love this book!I loved this book I loved this book. This book had all of the right story leading up to the plot. I love this book because it is a great book for a thrill. When you are reading it you always want to know what is going to happen next. This book was great at having different parts of action and then calmed down and then it went back up again. There was a little bit of foreshadowing in this book that would show how Brian would survive and this gave the reader a little bit of relief. I would like to find more books like this one. I love reading survival books and see how people deal with different challenges. A lot of the time books can give great ideas for what to do in real life. Though surviving with only a hatchet would be hard it is always wanting you to know what will happen next. This is a great book and I would read it again. I want to read more books from Gary Paulson because I loved this book so much. It is an easy and fun read. This book was awesome!
