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 about survival on a deserted island is really cool to read! i read it twice, it's really descriptive of the character and what happened to him to get him on the island, and how he lived :) READ IT NOW

This is a really good book about a boy who has to survive in the wild and go through disasters, wild animals, and stuff that might kill him. Do you think he will survive?
