Hatchet is a thriller and a dramatic book written by Gary Paulsen. If there was one word to describe this book it would be adventurous. This is because after a little boy named Brian is involved in a Cessna 406 and loosing both of his parents he has to survive through the dense jungle by himself only with a hatchet (small axe). This was based on a true story and was a book that kept me engaged the whole time I read it.

Hatchet is a really good suspenseful book. Big events and adventures keep the reader reading the book. My classroom used this book as a book club book and it is a classic. I would classify this as realistic fiction or adventure. If you like genres simalar to those you would love Hatchet.

"Hatchet" by Gary Paulson tells about the life of the courageous boy Brian. He is flying in a plane when the plane's pilot has a heart attack. Brian is now stuck in the Canadion wilderness with only a hatchet. He finds a small overhang of rocks that he calls home (for now). Brian finds a survival pack in the crashed plane, and there is a radio in there so he calls for help. If you like survival you should read the book. 🙂🥹😲

Brian Robeson, a thirteen-year-old boy traveling in a small airplane to Canada to spend the summer with his father, is involved in a plane crash in an uninhabited part of the Canadian woods after the pilot dies of a heart attack. Brian then must find a way to survive and in the process, discovers much about himself and becomes a man. The motif within this story is a bildungsroman, or a young boy’s coming of age. Read this book! It is super interesting.
