This book sounds good. I am thinking about getting it because I love stories of wilderness survival.

LOST
Brian Robertson, sole passenger on a Cessna 406, is on his way to visit his father when the tiny bush plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. With nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present, Brian finds himself completely alone.
Challenged by his fear and despair -- and plagued with the weight of a dreadful secret he's been keeping since his parent's divorce -- brian must tame his inner demons in order to survive. It will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed.

This book is lacking in details and there is no suspense to make you want to keep reading.

we had to read this in school and i really was not looking forward to it but after we started reading it i loved it!!!!
It is about a boy who is stranded in the wilderness because he was going to visit his father. His has to survive and his hatchet from his mother may be the one who can save him...
Epic tale of survival.Well that is what Gary Paulsen mostly writes about.I would have wanted to be Brian in the story
Sometimes I do get scared when I fly in a plane. This book is about a nightmare come true. This poor boy experiences a plane crash and loses his father in the process. He also has to learn how to survive in the Canadian Wilderness on his own. It is an exciting realistic fiction read.
Hatchet is another one of Paulsen's "bull's eyes"; he really did a good job painting the image in the reader's mind. Brian is a normal kid with divorced parents, and is going to visit his dad. His mom gives him a hatchet before he leaves,and when the pilot has a heart attack and the plane crashes, it becomes his source of finding food,heat, and it overall saves his life.when he is stranded on an island. I loved this book, and I picked up a few survival skills while I was reading it!
This is a great adventure story about surviving in the wilderness.
