Hatchet is a book about 13 year old Brian Robeson who was on his way to visit his father in Canada, when a tragedy struck. Something happened to the pilot which caused the plane to crash in an empty, isolated forest. Brian had to learn about different aspects of nature and find a way to survive safely. During this isolation from what his life was before the crash, Brian has an evolution learning more about himself than he ever knew in the city. This book is a very suspenseful story that will leave you asking what will happen next. Hatchet is a great book for people who love survival and hunting, but if you love fantasy, I don't recommend this book for you. I give this book 4 1/2 stars because I am a fantasy person so this got a bit boring for me.
I personally love this book. Over all this book is about a thirteen year old boy named Brian. Brian was on a plane ride to his dad in Canada when something traumatizing had happened to the polite. Brian had to crash land the plane due to what had happened and ended up in a forest. Will he survive? Will he even get to see his family again? Find out in the book!
Brian Robeson was visiting his dad because of the secret. On his way to Canada to visit his dad something happened to the pilot. Brian is a thirteen year old but what happened changed his life forever. I would recommend this book it is a fun survival book to read. One of my favorite things are the many plot twist. However if you are a fan of non fiction books like Harry Potter and dragons you may not like it.
