I would recommend this book for 11-14 year olds but really anyoneĬould like this book if you like adventure and exciting plot twists. avg rating 4.04 30,058 ratings published 1996. avg rating 4.04 30,058 ratings published 1996. One thing I don't like about this story is that after he crashes the plane it isn't super exciting because he’s just trying to get food and survive. For example when he crashes in a plane it is very scary and exciting at the same time.

One thing I like about this book is that parts of it are very action packed and exciting to read. He was on a small bush plane to visit his father at an oil plantation when the plane crashed in the middle of the Canadian woods. A 13 year old boy named Brian gets stuck in the woods for 54 days. This book is the first in a series with 4 other books other than Hatchet. This book was written in 1986 and the author is Gary Paulsen. Have you ever been stranded in the woods as a 13 years old? In the book, Hatchet, Brian Robeson was stuck in the woods left to survive on his own at 13 years old.
