Would you be able to survive in the Canadian wilderness all by your self? In this book Hatchet, a thirteen year old boy who’s parents are divorced named Brian was on his way to see his dad in Canada. On the way there the pilot of the plane had a heart attack and the plane crashed in the Canadian lake shaped like a “L”. What will Brian have to do to stay alive? He has to find food and water daily, build a shelter and make sure not to get harmed by any animals. This will be a very difficult challenge for Brian. Hopefully he will make it out of the woods alive. Read Hatchet!

  4. Dallen, edit your book review before you post it next time. Other than that I really liked how you explained everything so well and didn't give away the ending.
