Student Saturday - Hatchet - Gary Paulsen

Student Saturday is a day I post reviews written by other students.  The review that follows is written byPlacido

Thirteen year old Brian Robinson is on a plane going to see his father. There are only two people in the plane, him and the pilot. While flying the pilot has a heart attack. The plane starts to go down. The plane falls in a lake. Brian gets out scared and hardly believing that he was alive. Brian has to manage to survive in the wilderness by himself. Brian is in the wild for quite a while. He manages to survive by hunting with things or weapons that he had to make. He looks for food and makes his own shelter. One day he goes into the plane and gets some supplies. Things that Brian ate were fish, berries and things like that. That’s when he remembered that the fish that he was eating were eating the pilot in the lake. A couple of weeks later he was rescued and taken back home. I thought this book was really good. This book reminded me of when I was seven and got lost in my sister’s back yard. I too made my own little survival on my own, even though it was in her back yard. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking forward to reading a good book. I think this is a great book.
