LOST

Brian Robertson, sole passenger on a Cessna 406, is on his way to visit his father when the tiny bush plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. With nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present, Brian finds himself completely alone.

Challenged by his fear and despair -- and plagued with the weight of a dreadful secret he's been keeping since his parent's divorce -- brian must tame his inner demons in order to survive. It will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed.

This is a really good book about survival that i really enjoyed!!!

My teacher read it in class and i read along with her because she had extra copies. Almost my whole class got copies and some thought it was weird to read along with her because she was already reading the book. In this book Bryan's parents are divorced and on his way to his dad's house he gets in a plane crash because the pilot had a heart attack.Bryan started to get the hang of hunting and washing. He comes through the tough and the easy , but he gets home safely. Bryan gets stuck there for like a year or to.
