Hatchet is the story of a boy named Brian. On a trip to the Canadian oilfields to spend the summer with his dad the pilot of the Cessna he is traveling in suffers a heart attack and dies. Brian must land the plane in the forest. Brian learns to exist in in this wilderness. He faces many dangers including hunger, animal attacks, and even a tornado. This book gives the reader a better understanding of what it is like to survive in an untamed land. Brian flies until he runs out of fuel and crashes at the edge of a small lake alone, injured and in the wilderness. Brian creates a shelter out of a
hollowed out boulder and manages to create fire by using his hatchet and a flint stone.
.
He ends up at the Canadian Wilderness. He builds a shelter from his hatchet, his mother gave him, and the wilderness is a forest so he cuts down a lot of trees. Brian is struggling to get a fire, but finally he succeeds by using his hatchet and a rock. What Brian eats is raspberries at first, then he tries to eat fish, but he finally just eats birds, with his bow and arrow he invented. He drinks the water in the lake he first landed on.
In the beginning he saw a bear, in the middle he saw another bear with cubs, and also in the middle he saw a wolf, and again in the middle he saw a porcupine and it shot quills at Brian's leg, it hurt him bad. Also towards the end Brian saw a moose close to the lake and it pushed Brian into the water and again and again and finally
he got up and his ribs were very hurt because that was where the moose had hit him. A very major sad event comes towards the end also, a tornado comes and destroys all of Brians shelter, and everything except the hatchet. Brian works again and rebuilds his shelter.
