Gary PaulsenHatchet

Strongly encourage all readers to pick this one up.True authentic story of survival, will and determination.Just a timeless classic for young adults/juveniles and even adults like myself.I have read this book many times and it never disappoints.Gary Paulsen is a fantastic author.

Reading it with the kids was all the difference! Hearing their discussions about Brian and what happens to him, his debate around "The Secret" and what they would do if it were their case.Incredible, kept us hooked, entertained, kept us guessing and connected til the end.

Brought for my son’s school cause he lost there copy of it but he said it was a good book nana he doesn’t really like reading but liked this book!

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.

I purchased *Hatchet* for my brother, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. The story’s themes of survival, courage, and independence really captured his interest. He enjoyed following Brian’s journey and how he overcame challenges with determination. It’s a book that not only entertains but also inspires personal strength.

Daughter loves this book

I had been recommended this book for its simple style. I do not usually read stories of humans alone vs nature, but this story drew me in. I liked the hint of the story about "the Secret," back in civilization. I was hoping that the protagonist's deep change out in the wild would allow him to do something about that situation, but the book did not go there. Perhaps it is more believable as it is.

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.

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.
