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.

Title: My sons favorite book
Review: My son and I absolutely loved this book and really the whole series. It was such a good coming of age story, fairly intense at times but overall very well written and has a lot of real life application you can pull from it.

Title: Really good book! About a 6th grade reading level
Review: This is an easy read and is very inspirational. Warning: there are marital indiscretions and divorce heavily into the story. But it is mostly as survival story, using a strong will. I love the part near the end where he feels technology is cheating nature.

Title: Winning Book!
Review: Great book. My book club selected this read. I enjoyed the suspense and trails of survival the main charactered went through. The end was a little stale, but over all deserved the three New Berry Honors award!There are book club reading discussion questions in the back.

Review: 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 ...
