Summary: Hatchet
Review: This is an excellent book. Before you even finish the first chapter, you will be hooked. At the end of every chapter, Paulsen leaves you hanging just enough that you want to keep reading to find out what happens. This book is also very descriptive. It goes into great detail about how a 13-year-old boy survives alone in the Canadian woods with nothing more than a hatchet his mother gave him before he left and the clothes he has on his back. He has to adapt himself mentally and physically to the task of staying alive. To make things worse he has all these different things running through his mind constantly about his parents' divorce, finding food, and other things. This is a great, simple book to read. It doesn't take long because you won't want to put it down.

Summary: Hope I'm not in a plane crash!
Review: I think that this was a very good book. It is ideal to show kids and teens what it's like to be responsible for themselves. Brian (the main character) goes through a lot of stuff like tornadoes, hurrricans, a porkipine attack and he had to eat turtle eggs to survive. I hope I never have to do that!

Summary: Survival book
Review: I think Hatchet by Gary pulsin is a really good book. Its about a kid that survies a plane crash and is stuck out in the woods without anyone else. He has to do what most can't. Like survive with only the clothes on his back and a hatchet that his mom gave to him. Anouther reason I like this book is because in away its like real life and not something you can't relate to. In the book he makes spears to kill prey and also makes a bow and arrows to kill what he calls foolbirds and other things he can eat. There is some pretty cool things that go on in this book like when he gets stuck by a porcupine and when he throws the hatchet at it he misses and the hatchet hits the wall. When this happends its makes a spark and thats when he started to use the rock in the shelter for starting fires. I think everyone that is reading this should go out and give this book a try for yourself and trust me you wont be disappointed.

Summary: One of the finest books for young men EVER written!
Review: I was on a Webelos Summer camp outing and was reading this book as a requirement for a children's literature class. I read a section of the book (the first mosquito attack) to the young men nearby. EVERY one of the boys has since read this book - MORE THAN ONCE. My son not only read the book, but we made a mobile to hang in his room. We often discuss "what would I do in the same situation" senarios that I can see maturing my son in his reasoning ability right before my ears. The story has been told before and since, but Paulsen has a grasp of what a young man thinks in an alien environment - and through Brian offers solutions to life's wickedly dealt hand. I was rivetted to this book from open to close and give this story my HIGHEST recommendation. Thank you Gary for a memory and treat!

Summary: Brian is Alone
Review: This is about the book by Gary Paulsen, Hatchet. Brian was on his way to see his divorced father up in the Canadian Mountains. All the while he thinks about how the divorce came about. The "secret", the other man in his mom's life. He is filled with anger and hate. The book is about a 13-year-old boy who is in a plane crash and needs to survive in the wild. All though the pilot doesn't survive, Brian, the boy, survives the crash. He builds a house and figure out how to make fire. His hatchet is the key to his survival. The novel Hatchet explains how he survives and gets food. He encounters wild animals and has a hard time fighting the mosquitoes. He always relates to movies and how the people in the movies would have done everything to survive in the wild. He thinks about how people in the movies got rescued within two or three days. Brian is full of hope to be rescued. READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT THE REST!

Review: This book is one of my favorites because right from the beginning it gets interesting and you get curious if Brian stays alive or not. With this beginning you want to read the rest. You can also read other series of Hatchet which I recommend to you as well.
