An interesting book.
This takes place directly after Hatchet, a kind of alternate history if Brian hadn't been rescued at the end of Hatchet. Apparently, readers disliked the "deus ex machina" of Hatchet's ending, so this continues the story.
For a short book, we see Brian hone new skills as Winter rears its ugly head. With added adventure, and an added sense of peril over the harshness of winter, Brian's Winter offers a good story that sees you still rooting for a teen boy lost in the Wilderness.
