Detailed description:
This award-winning contemporary classic is the survival story with which all others are compared—and a page-turning, heart-stopping adventure, recipient of the Newbery Honor. Hatchet has also been nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson, haunted by his secret knowledge of his mother’s infidelity, is traveling by single-engine plane to visit his father for the first time since the divorce. When the plane crashes, killing the pilot, the sole survivor is Brian. He is alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present.
At first consumed by despair and self-pity, Brian slowly learns survival skills—how to make a shelter for himself, how to hunt and fish and forage for food, how to make a fire—and even finds the courage to start over from scratch when a tornado ravages his campsite. When Brian is finally rescued after fifty-four days in the wild, he emerges from his ordeal with new patience and maturity, and a greater understanding of himself and his parents.

This is an award winner for a reason. The already available innumerous book reviews are apt and is a good read for a 9-12 .

Book was a school assignment, but I’m glad we purchased rather than borrowed. What an adventure!!! I thought I remembered from when I was in school but I was off. The details in the writing bring the story to life. Great author, great story, great book. Worth it!

Tolles Buch, das ich auf Empfehlung meines amerikanischen Freundes gelesen habe. Ich werde es mit meiner 9. Klasse in Englisch nächstes Schuljahr lesen. Es enthält am Ende noch study questions, die ich sehr brauchbar finde.

Brian’s survival adventure is difficult enough to feel realistic and help the reader feel every one of Brian’s highs and lows.

Super snelle levering, de tweede dag al ontvangen. Het verhaal van het boek is leuk en leerzaam, ondanks dat er weinig dialogen in zitten. Heel soms valt de schrijver in herhaling van bepaalde zinsdelen maar om Engels te leren vond ik het niet storend. Zeker aan te bevelen voor kinderen vanaf 10/11 jaar. Maar ook voor volwassenen …

Most of the story is focused on a 13yo boy who is the line survivor of a plane crash. He has to figure out how to survive in the wilderness. His only tools are his brain and the hatchet. Really good.

I read this in grade 8 and fell in love with the story. I wanted to reread it so I got it. I love Brian’s journey and hardships, the story is filled with knowledge and is a great story to give to teens if they want to read a new book that isn’t really long.

Hatchet is a novel that will appeal to many people who love adventure, action, and crazy scenarios. Hatchet can really be a game changer if you’re not quite into books. For example, I am a 11 year old boy who didn’t like to read, but after Hatchet I think I might just read a lot more from now on. This novel is about a 12 year old lanky and skinny kid stuck in the Canadian wilderness for a fight against himself and the grassy wilderness ahead of him. To sum it up Brian was a great, passionate, lanky, young, depressed 12-year-old boy stranded in the Canadian wilderness after him and his pilot crashed in a lake.
