Hatchet | 
pickBrain Robeson is a thirteen-year-old boy who got into a plane accident while flying to his Dad in northern Canada in the Canadian wilderness. After the plane crash, he‘s left nothing but a hatchet given by his mother. Surviving to the fullest, Brain tries his best to gather food and shelter. The problems of the wild begin to affect David's lifestyle, nothing can be expected with the harsh conditions.
pickMy daughter read Hatchet with her class at school. I hadn't reread it as an adult so I joined them too. I hadn't reread it as an adult and hadn't remembered as much as I assumed I had. At its foundation learning a respect for nature shines through.
You can‘t rely on someone else, when there is only you to survive.
I remember reading this is middle school or maybe it was elementary 🤔 either way I loved it ☺️

pick#thingswehaveincommon blue covers. I‘ve never read this and we had a rummage sale which caused my husband to unearth his copy. (Apparently stolen from his elementary library-though he denies this) The only way to save it was to read it. I quite liked it. I‘ll be keeping it for our son.
pickThis is my favourite book it‘s about a boy who gets stuck in the Canadian forest and has to try to survive
My reluctant reader was attracted to this 30th anniversary edition of Hatchet - I NEVER say no to books!
He‘d only agree to a pic if I included Family Guy. 🙄
This edition is really neat. Leather like cover and beautiful pencil illustrations!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My sweet, sensitive 9 year old is reading this in ELA and absolutely loving it. He recommended I read it, and since I never have, of course I bought a copy! This is some heavy stuff for kids, but the appeal is obvious. It‘s a grown up story (at least for my son) with serious situations. It‘s more literary than most books he‘s drawn to. I think it will change him as a reader. I can‘t wait to see his reaction to the ending!
My 4th grader‘s ELA class is reading and analyzing Hatchet, and he‘s SUPER into it. “You‘d like it. You should read it, too! Will you?? I won‘t tell any more spoilers.” If a sweet baby enthusiastically recommends a book, you read it!

“Reading for me, is spending time with a
friend.
A book is a friend.
You can never have too many.”
Gary had the right idea.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Paulsen.
😢
His books were one of the first that fueled my love of reading and stories that I will always remember. I couldn't even guess how many times I read Hatchet growing up.
Hatchet was a childhood favorite. Sad news.
I'm going back to a classic for the #ConflictedWorlds prompt of person vs. #nature today.
I read a lot of Gary Paulsen's books when I was young, but this one stuck with me the most!

@Eggs

This is a wonderful adventure series. A young boy “goes down with the plane”, and after being scared and ticked off, he figures out how to survive. Paulson brings the Canadian Wilderness to life with rich details. #julyjourneys
No matter how many times I edit the yearbook I always miss one mistake. It used to make me feel awful until I realized there are professionally published books that have mistakes too.
so-so13-Year-old Brain Robeson is flying to Northern Canada for the summer to spend time with his Dad. While flying to Canada his pilot Jim or Jake (The main character who forgot the pilot's name,) died from a heart attack leading Brain to fly the plane into a lake. This whole text reminds me of the Delta Air Lines Flight 89, It happened on Jan 14 2020 and even though it did not crash it was a plane incident where the pilot dropped Jet fuel.
Shocktober Film # 14: Hatchet
Do you miss the campy horror films of the '80s with their ridiculous practical effects? If ketchup-covered sausages playing the role of a large intestine is exactly what you want for a Halloween scare, then this is what you should watch. Is it a masterpiece? No. Will it entertain for 90 minutes? You bet your Milk Duds it will! +6

Brian is able to sustain the plane for 7 hours before inevitably plummeting to the forest floor. Trapped alone for 54 days, the experience changes him forever.

I really enjoyed this book. This book is about a 13-year-old boy. He is flying to Canada to visit his dad, when the plane crashes. He is the only survivor and has to learn how to survive and adapt to his surroundings. If you like books about survival and wilderness you would enjoy this. The theme of this novel is survival, and overcoming obstacles. The theme is present because Brian hast to learn how to overcome surviving in the wilderness.
