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.

i love "hatchet" it is amazing how gary paulsen uses point of view in hatchet.

Hatchet was an interesting and *addictive* book, but I think there could have been more to the plot. Overall, the book and the format is awesome!

I had to read this over the summer for reading in 6th Grade so good luck I'm going to let you 5th graders see how it is to me so/so to you ?

We had to read this book at school, and it was good.

This was a really good book. Everyone told me to read it finally I decided to read it.

I love this book ! I am in sixth grade but love to read it to my fourth grade brother. He says his favorite chapters are 2 and 3 . and he loves talking about , where daniel eats the berries ! Plus, every time ,I go camping I read this book.
