Hatchet – Gary Paulsen
What would you do if you survived a plane crash into the
vast Canadian wilderness with one prized possession, a hatchet? How would you
make a shelter? What would you eat? How would you fish without hook, line or
sinker?
Fire is necessary for warding off bears and wolves in the
night. Fire is essential for warmth, for cooking, and as a mosquito repellent –
but how would you start a fire without a single match?
Brian Robeson is a city boy whose only luck is surviving a
crash landing. The rest of his luck he has to make himself, by toughening up,
thinking things through, being patient and becoming very much one with the
natural environment.
Bear Grylls would be impressed at the courage and
determination shown by a thirteen year old city boy, battling to survive
against the fiercest of odds. This fictional adventure story is sure to delight
boys and girls, children and adults. It is slightly disturbing in places, but I
think you’re all mature enough to cope. So hop aboard the Cessna 406 bushplane
and get ready for the unexpected!
