Hatchet
Hatchet is a 1987 Newbery Honor-winning young-adult wilderness survival novel written by American writer Gary Paulsen. It is the first novel of five in the Hatchet series.
Brian Robeson is a thirteen-year-old son of divorced parents. As he travels from Hampton, New York on a Cessna 406 bush plane to visit his father in the oil fields in Northern Canada for the summer, the pilot suffers a massive heart attack and dies. Brian tries to land the plane, but ends up crash-landing into a lake in the forest. He must learn to survive on his own with nothing but his hatchet—a gift his mother gave him shortly before his plane departed.
Personally i have read the first installment in the Hatchet Series in my earlier years for school. I decided to read the book again because I never really read it for the story but to just get it done.
Overall I liked the simplicity of the plot and how easy it was to read. This book is a instant classic, and i would give it a solid rating of 4/5 stars. I would definetley recommend this book to a friend.
