By Gary Paulen
When I first decided to read Hatchet to my class I thought it a really good idea to purchase and share the other books in the series for my better readers to enjoy themselves should they wish. I loved Hatchet myself and was told this sequel was just as good. And having just completed it I would have to agree. I loved every moment of reading this book and refused to put it down.
Synopsis
In the Newbery Honor-winning
Hatchet, thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson learned to survive alone in the Canadan wilderness, armed only with his hatchet. Finally, as millions of readers know he was rescued at the end of the summer. But what if Brian hadn't been rescued? What if he had been left to face his deadliest enemy- winter?
Gary Paulsen raises the stakes for survival in this riveting and inspiring story, as one boy confronts the ultimate test and the ultimate adventure.

ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic. I bought one copy of the whole series so as to encourage children to read the sequels for themselves... that worked really well.
