"This is a spellbinding account...a winner." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Riveting." -- Booklist, starred review Gary Paulsen is one of the most honored writers of contemporary literature for young readers, author of three Newbery Honor titles, Dogsong, Hatchet, and The Winter Room. He has written over 100 books for adults and young readers. He divides his time among Alaska, New Mexico, Minnesota, and the Pacific.
Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson, haunted by his secret knowledge of his mother’s infidelity, is traveling by single-engine plane to visit his father for the first time since the divorce. When the plane crashes, killing the pilot, the sole survivor is Brian. He is alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present.
At first consumed by despair and self-pity, Brian slowly learns survival skills—how to make a shelter for himself, how to hunt and fish and forage for food, how to make a fire—and even finds the courage to start over from scratch when a tornado ravages his campsite. When Brian is finally rescued after fifty-four days in the wild, he emerges from his ordeal with new patience and maturity, and a greater understanding of himself and his parents.
Gripping and adventurous I could not stop reading Hatchet. The story is astonishing - not least because author Gary Paulsen says he himself experienced nearly everything that happens to the book's only real character, Brian. The adventures and threats and risks and successes of trying to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness are told in rich detail. But the most riveting parts of Hatchet are those that show how Brian's mind works, because his brain, even more than his body, has to make sense of his new world. Paulsen brilliantly describes, sometimes second by second, how Brian wrestles with shock, fear, confusion, and the absolute need to survive. Although to my surprise I found six or eight typos in this edition, I consider the story and the writing outstanding.Great book to read aloud to school age kids My husband remembered enjoying this book from his childhood and wanted to share with our own children (8 year old and 6 year old twins). He read the book to them over the course of a couple of weeks and they loved it. Our kids wouldn’t let him get out of reading at least one chapter every night. We just purchased Brians Winter to start tonight and plan on reading them the entire series.I really loved this book as a young boy in elementary school I really loved this book as a young boy in elementary school. That was probably the last time I read through it.Feeling nostalgic, I decided to go ahead and pick this up to re-read it after all these years. It holds up decently as an adult but you really notice it's flaws.My main complaint is that it ends so abruptly. I don't remember that, but the end of the books feels really rushed, like the author said, "Whoops, I'm going on too long here," and decided to wrap it up quickly. Not so noticeable as a young kid with a short attention span but pretty jarring when an adult. Still, this book was made for kids so it's excusable.
