Even though I’m not very far into ‘Hatchet’, I think that it is a very interesting book that has you on the edge of your seat. It is a very good book for anyone from the age of ten and over. I recommend ‘Hatchet’ for anyone who enjoys a book with adventure and determination. From
Aimie, Year 8I am currently reading ‘Hatchet’ by Gary Paulsen and even though I’m not all the way through the book, I already know by the first couple of pages that it is an adventure book full of nail biting scenes. The main character is Brian, who lives with his mother in the city, but in the holidays he lives with his dad. Something went terribly wrong on the plane to his dad’s house though. The pilot has a freak heart attack and dies suddenly, so Brian was the only person on the plane besides the driver. He had to fly the plane all by himself now and survive all by himself. What will happen to Brian? I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of a thrill and a laugh andadventure with nail biting events happening on every page. I would personally rate this book 8 stars out of 10. Bridget, Year 8
Recently I began reading ‘Hatchet’ by Gary Paulsen. I found the beginning of the story a bit of a drag as it seemed to take a long time to get into the actual basis of the storyline. However, once it got to that point, it was very captivating. It was so engrossing that I just wanted to keep reading it! The main character in the story is a 13 year old boy called Brian. He finds himself in a big blur (as many children are all around the world) after his parents get a divorce. On the way to visit his father in Canada, the pilot has a heart attack and with no one else on board Brian is left all alone in full control of the plane. This is a very edgy story that keeps you wanting more. I believe this story will appeal to people who like reading a book that makes you want to get to the resolution as soon as possible.

This story is about a boy `Brian’ who has had a pretty depressing life so far. His parents have recently split and are soon to be divorced. He finds himself on a plane flying to his dad’s house when the pilot has a heart attack. He has to fly the plane, Does he know how? Will he and the pilot survive? `Hatchet’ is a book you just want to keep reading and I am sure you will too. Jemma, Year 8
The lead character of this book is Brian. He is confused 13 year old boy deserted in a Canadian forest after his pilot had a heart attack and Brian had to crash land the plane. This happened when Brian was on his way to visit his dad in Canada after his parents just slit up. On his journey to survive he remembers all the good and bad memories in his life. This helps him with problems along the road, but the real question is, will he survive ? Alanah, Year 8 http://www.randomhouse.com/features/garypaulsen/about.html
