Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

5.0

Hatchet takes us through a 13-year-old boy, Brian's journey through survival after his plane's pilot has a heart attack and is forced to crash land in the middle of Canada's wilderness.

I love that the reader gets Brian's thought process about what he's going through, how he makes it feel real, and how Brian compares what he's seen in movies to what is happening to him now. Of course, the book is all about Brian, but it feels like something is missing; one detail that I thought was annoying is that it only shows Brian's best foot forward.
