Overview
Winner of a Newberry Honor award and a classroom staple, this well-loved wilderness survival novel continues to capture the attention of educators and students alike.
“He was alone. In the roaring plane with no pilot he was alone. Alone.”
A contemporary classic in young adult fiction, Hatchet tells the story of thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson. As he heads to visit his father for the first time since his parents’ divorce, Brian’s plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness - with him as the sole survivor. With nothing but the hatchet gifted to him by his mother, the clothes on his back, Brian must develop whatever skills he can and summon the courage to stay alive no matter what he may face.
A story of transformation and resilience, Hatchet remains a riveting read, encouraging generations to evolve and thrive in the face of adversity; the first of a five-book series, Hatchet continues to inspire readers to strengthen their own practical survival skills, as well as their emotional intelligence and sense of self.
