Product Description
ALONEThirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present -- and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parent's divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self pity, or despair -- it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive. For twenty years Gary Paulsen's award-winning contemporary classic has been the survival story with which all others are compared. This new edition, with a reading group guide, will introduce a new generation of readers to this page-turning, heart-stopping adventure.

 Paint with Words July 15, 2008
Gary Paulsen "paints with words" as he writes a descriptive story about a fifteen year old boy contending with his parent's divorce. This book is rivoting. The reader wants to read on as a young boy learns through discovery about how to survive in the Canadian wildernes. I read this book to my students and they were lined up in the library to check out Gary Paulsen books. Gary Paulsen writes passionately with no holes barred, which is what makes the story believable, exciting and compelling.
 Wild and Adventurous! July 2, 2008
Hatchet is about a boy named Brian who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness trying to survive. This book is very easy to read. It is a very good book for anyone who likes survival or nature books. I recommend it for ages 10-12. I like it because it is very neat how Brian uses his hatchet. If you like Hatchet you might also like Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson, or The Cay.
