Hatchet is an astonishing survival book! As you read, you will find that it is about a thirteen year old boy named Brian Robeson that got stranded in the wilderness with nothing but himself and the hatchet that his mom gave him. I would definitely recommend this book! I however, would not recommend this book to you if you are into fantasy fiction because this is a realistic fiction book. Read this wonderful book if you want to learn about all of the crazy challenges that Brian faces!

This book is so good! Brain is a 13 year old boy that is in a plane that has no fuel and has to crash the plane in a candida forest. Only time will tell if Brain lives to tell the tail the story or, dies. I give this a 5 star because it is also so action packed!
Hatch is a great book it's about a thirteen year old boy named brian he was a city boy boy until a accident happens when he was going to his dad for the summer because of ''the secret" , I like this book because brian was going through ruff time after the accident happened and how he had very little supplies that can help him.
