Hatchet is a book about a 13 year old boy who survived a plane crash but is now stranded in the Canadian wilderness. This boy had to endure through many challenges throughout the book, animals and sicknesses. He makes it his goal to get back home, no matter what. He had succeeded after finding an emergency transmitter in the tail of the plane wreckage. The voice of this novel is the one of the young Brian Robeson. The voice of this novel reflects on Brian's inexperience and youth, yet also displaying his creativity and resourcefulness. The tone of the book Hatchet is very serious and lets you reflect on Brian and yourself. The tone of Hatchet also gets the reader to reflect on the jarring conditions of such a remote place in the wilderness. The tone shifts to a more brighter side nearing the end of the book, becoming more inspiring and hopeful as Brian overcomes this new environment as well as figuring out how to be more dependent on himself. I enjoyed reading this book because of how the sentences of this book were simple and straight forward with not a lot of overwhelming vocabulary. It was a simple yet complex novel about a boy who survived and persevered through the Canadian Wilderness by himself till help arrived for him.

Hatchet is a book about a young kid named Brian Robeson who is on his way to visit his father in Canada when the pilot of his plane has a heart attack and dies. Gary Paulsen uses very strong details in this part of the book causing the book to become challenged. I believe that there is nothing wrong with the book and it is just a great story. I strongly suggest reading it to find out if Brian makes it out of the forest alive.

I personally didn't like this book as it was only from his point of view, I think that it could have had more perspectives.
Good Points
Hatchet is a adventure novel, written with full of adjectives and pictures the scenery that Brian is in.
