About the book

Stranded in the wild with nothing but a hatchet, Brian must learn to survive or perish in this gripping tale of resilience and self-discovery.

Brian is a city boy, not used to living rough. But when his plane crash-lands in the Canadian wilderness, he is left with nothing but a hatchet and a fierce determination to stay alive. Hatchet, the riveting story of a young boy's struggle against the elements, has captured the hearts of readers for decades.

Now, Brian must learn to find food, make shelter, and brave the untamed wilderness – all while battling the loneliness and despair of being utterly alone. Gary Paulsen's powerful survival story is a must-read for any fan of adventure, coming-of-age tales, or young adult fiction. Perfect for 12-year-olds and up, Hatchet is a timeless classic that explores the depths of human endurance in the face of unforgiving nature.
