Paulsen, G.
(1987). Hatchet. New
York: Bradbury Press.
Bears, a moose…
and skunks???
Although these seem
like only television fears, how would you handle them? Thirteen year-old Brian is cast into the
Canadian wilderness after his pilot suffers a heart attack and the plane
crashes. His only tool is a hatchet. Brian must overcome nature,
hunger, and thirst in order to survive. More importantly, how will Brian escape?
Hatchet is one of the greatest realistic fiction books of all
time. It creates a dynamic character
cast into a difficult world. Hatchet is a great read for all ages and
audiences.
