Hatchet Paperback – December 26, 2006

Hatchet is one of the best books for young readers - and their parents! Our family read the book out loud when our kids were about 6 & 8. Our boys really loved the survival stories of Brian who was stranded in the Canadian woods. Great adventure story!

Very cool story. Still hasn’t moved from my kids desk since bought, unread.You can listen to the audiobook on youtube.

Leí el libro *Hatchet* de Gary Paulsen y me pareció una historia muy interesante y emocionante. Trata sobre un chico llamado **Brian Robeson** que sobrevive solo en el bosque después de que el avión en el que viajaba se estrella. Lo único que tiene con él es una **hachuela**, y con eso debe aprender a buscar comida, hacer refugio y protegerse de los peligros de la naturaleza.Lo que más me gustó del libro fue ver cómo Brian cambia a lo largo de la historia. Al principio está asustado y confundido, pero poco a poco se vuelve más fuerte, valiente y seguro de sí mismo. También me gustaron mucho las descripciones de la naturaleza y cómo el autor hace que uno sienta que está ahí con el personaje.Me parece un libro muy bueno porque no solo es una historia de aventura, sino también de crecimiento personal. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que le gusten las historias de supervivencia o de personas que aprenden a valerse por sí mismas.I read the book *Hatchet* by Gary Paulsen and found it to be a very interesting and exciting story. It's about a boy named **Brian Robeson** who survives alone in the woods after the plane he was traveling on crashes. The only thing he has with him is a **hatchet**, and with that he must learn to forage for food, make shelter, and protect himself from the dangers of nature.What I liked most about the book was seeing how Brian changes throughout the story. At first, he's scared and confused, but little by little, he becomes stronger, braver, and more confident. I also really liked the descriptions of nature and how the author makes you feel like you're right there with the character.I think it's a very good book because it's not only a story of adventure, but also of personal growth. I would recommend it to anyone who likes stories of survival or about people learning to fend for themselves.

I ordered this book after seeing a meme that asked viewers to choose between certain survival gear if stranded on an island. Many people referred to this book. The book is targeted to young teenage boys and would make a lot of sense to someone with Boy Scout and camping experience. I think the main character's ability to survive was attributable an unrealistic number of events/outcomes that worked in his favor and the factors that would have made his experience more difficult were never part of the story.

Good Quality & great read!

Great book my son loved it and can’t wait to read other books by this author.
