On his way to visit his recently divorced father in the Canadian mountains, thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is the only survivor when the single-engine plane crashes. His body battered, his clothes in shreds, Brian must now stay alive in the boundless Canadian wilderness.
More than a survival story, Hathcet is a tale of tough decisions. When all is stripped down to the barest essentials, Brian discovers some stark and simple truths: Self-pity doesn't work. Despair doesn't work. And if Brian is to survive physically as well as mentally, he must discover courage.

Brian Roberson was on a private plane on his way to visit his dad. Brian had to fly the plane due to the pilot's death. The plane was flown into a lake. Brian then had to learn how to live in the wilderness until someone came to rescue him. There he learned the ways of life in the wild, but also learned a lot about himself. What I liked most about the book was, Brian's determination to find many ways to get the best food possible. The thing I didn't like about the book was, they talked a little bit about the dead pilot in the airplane and it freaked me out. You should read this book because it shows if you put your mind to something and really are determined, you can do anything you want to. This book is filled with sadness, happiness and excitement and it is very interesting. At times, I couldn't put my book down!

Wow! Hatchet is one excellent book. It is a story of a thirteen year-old boy named Brian. He is heading for his dad's house in the oil fields of Canada. But is tragically cut short when the plane he is in crashes...only after the pilot dies. From a heart attack anyways. Brian luckily survives the crash and moves on. As the story progresses, Brian deals with many tragic events. Finally, he is rescued and can, well, move on with his life. And can fortunatly put his life back on track. I liked this book because of its style. I strongly suggest this book to all readers.

Summary: Brain Robeson a thirteen year old boy is flying in a plane going to visit his dad and the piolet has a heart attack and then the plane crashes and Brain had to survie with a hatchet his mom gave him as a present and the clothes he had.Brian also had to dell with his parents divorce.
What I liked about the book: That Brian is 13 and can survive in the wild whith a hatchet and he is there for 40 days and nights.
What I didn't like about the book: The one thing that I didn't like is that his family didn't know that he was missing for a week or two.
My favorite charecter and why: Brain becaus he learnd to be brave and a strong person by surviving for 40 days in the wild.
The scene,line, or passage the at meant something to me and why: When brian got the survivl pack and looked through it and it was enough stuff to surrvive for 2 months and started to make food as a meal and when he was donig that a plane landed right in front of his camp site and saved him. pg.178 to pg.185
What I would say about this book to someone else: If you like camping and hunting and action you should read it because it is a very interesting book.
One question I have reading this book: why didn't he get the survivle pack from the plane earlier?
My strongest reason for reacommending this book: That it is amazing that someone could survive that long know what to do being only 13.

This book folows the story of a 13 year old boy named Brian, who is traped in the wilderness of the canada. I loved this book so much that i got my friends to help me biuld Brian's shelter. If you watched The Cry in the Wild, you can see its baste off of this book! ( i won't eat gut cherries or puke berrys, whatever!)
