I really enjoyed this story. Made me feel very nostalgic of
when I grew up in the suburbs of Fayetteville NY where we had some
creeks, and plenty of woods for adventure.
Great story! Rest In Peace Mr. Paulsen...great job!
Definitely worth your time and money this classic novel.
First time I read his work and will be reading more...too bad he has left us!

Great story of survival in an unfamiliar place with just a hatchet

Could Be Better
A child having to survive alone with nature is nothing new in children's literature. It was seen in "Island of the Blue Dolphins" and "Julie of the Wolves." Unfortunately "Hatchet" is not up to the caliber of past survival of nature tales.
The beauty of nature is lost in this tale. Brian is not sympathetic in his isolation. The lack of a likeable lead is what seriously hurts a potentially good tale.
