Summary: Stranded, Alone in Canada
Review: Hatchet is a fictional story about a boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded after his plane crashes somewhere in Canada. Gary Paulson writes Hatchet. Brian is on his way to visit his father in Canada. His mother gave him a hatchet as a gift. He put it on to please her. Brian never took off the hatchet. It was a private flight and they did not ask him to take it off. He did not know that this hatchet would save his life. Over the next couple of months he would learn how to get food, build shelter, and survive all together. He must keep a secret from his parents divorce from tearing him apart. The very water he drinks is from the lake that contains the plane, and the body of the dead pilot. Brian will have to face many natural problems such as tornadoes, storms, moose, wolves, bears, mosquitoes and many more. I loved this book and I recommend this to anyone who loves adventure books.

Summary: Hatchet By:Gary Paulsen
Review: The main Character in Hatchet is a 13year old boy named Brian Robeson. This book is about how Brian Robeson faces the troubles of surviving in the middle of the Canadian woods. His parents are divorced and he is going to visit his father in Canada. On his way to Canada on a plane, the bush pilot has a heart attack and dies. What will he do next? The theme of this story was not giving up. Brian could've just given up right when the pilot died, but he will stop at nothing to survive the treacherous Canadian woods. I very much liked this story. It made me feel like I was in the story all along. Well, that is all I have to say about the wonderful book of Hatchet

Summary: Hatchet
Review: This book is called Htachet because the boy names Brian was going to see his dad ( who got divorced by Brian's mother ). But when he is riding in the plane, he doesn't know that his pilot is going to have a heart attack and die, land the plane by a lake, build his own shelter, and run into some wild animals! He still has a lot more to learn to. One of the things he learned is that he has to trust in himself. He has a lot more to learn. Find out what in Hatchet.
I liked this book because when I looked at the cover I thought it was an adventure book. When I read the first page I got so sucked into the book that I didn't put it down until I read it front to cover. And I usually don't like adventure books. The autor makes this book so understanding that youu can just picture everthing when you read it. It also makes you feel like you are Brian. Take it from somenone who has read the book and read it.

Summary: A Spectacular Book
Review: A Review by Bryce

The book 'Hatchet' is about a young teenage boy name Brian Robeson, who is on his way to visit his father for the summer. On the way to his father's cabin, the pilot of the plane has a serious heart attack. In shock Brian is hesitant of what to do, so he crash lands the plane into a lake nearby. After surviving the plane crash, Brian is faced with surviving in the wilderness, until rescuers come. Will her be found? If he does, how long till he will be found? Read and u will find out'''.

Hatchet is a spectacular book; it had many life teaching lessons in it. Like how to survive in the wilderness, by killing animals and looking everywhere for shelter and food. Surviving wasn't the only main point of the story. As the story continued, Brian had kept his composer and became braver as the story went on. As the book concluded, Brian wasn't terrified of anything. He would just wander out to the woods and bring back stuff for dinner or some other helpful supplies. The main reason I gave this book a 5 was because most of the books I read are a pain for me. But on the other hand this book got me hooked from the beginning, with its non-stop action and unexpected endings. But the main reason it was one of my favorite books was because it had nothing I disliked about it.

I would recommend this book to people who like adventure stories or to people who like reading in general. I think this book is one of the best books of all time, and Paulsen is a genius by writing this book. If I were you right now and had never read this book before, I would run to the nearest library and check it out as soon as possible!!!

Summary: Survival and secrets
Review: Hatchet is a wonderful story of survival by a thirteen year old. Basically, Brian, whose parents have just recently divorced, is going to spend his summers with his dad when the single-engine plane he is in, crashes in the Canadian woods. Armed with only a hatchet and his wits, Brian learns to survive. Like any child in his situation, Brian is very upset about the break-up of his family unit. The story is really one about survival so why bring up the divorce? My feeling is that it shows that you can have two types of problems -- those that you can control/fix like the survival issue, and those that you can do nothing about like the divorce. So, why did I give it a two-star? Well, this is a children's book so I saw no reason for a detailed description of a kissing scene in the mother's extramarital affair. Even the affair was irrelevant. In fact, it is not that Brian really deals with either The SECRET or the affair by the end of the book. If Paulsen's intention with the divorce was to just show kids that you cannot always do some thing about all the bad things that happen to you but that should not mean you should drown in self-pity, then including the divorce was okay. However, he should just have left it at that and would probably have received four stars from me.

Summary: Hatchet By Gary Paulsen
Review: I just reviewed reading the book Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen.Two good parts were the setting and the author.I think the setting was the perfect place for a action\survival story. Also I liked the author. Gary Paulsen is a awesome writer and I think he should write more books.On the other hand,there were two things I disliked. One thing I didn't like was the end. I thinkhe sould of got the survival pack way before he got resced. Last, I didn't like the dream. He should of realized that he could make fire right after the dream.Over all, I think this book was an " okay " book.

Summary: Hatchet
Review: The reason why I rate this book a 5 star is because it's a very good book. The story talks about the survival of a boy name Brian, after his plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. He now has to struggle to survive the natural lands. He then must learn to find food, hunting grounds, fish, and make a shelter. It is also very exciting of what he does of an outdoor adventure book.
