"The Hatchet" By Gary Paulsen

The main character in this story is a thirteen year old boy, named Brian Robeson.  Brian's parent's became recently divorced, and like most divorces the parental visitation  becomes slit between mother and father. During the school semester Brian lives with his mother, now that the school year has ended Brian's mother puts him on a single engine Seaplane to stay with his father for the summer. Brian's father works in Canada in the oil fields.

Brian goes through many changes as a young man throughout this reading. Through the trials of unable to help his pilot, who suffers a heart attack, taking control of a plane he's never flown, surviving a plane crash to learning how to survive in the wilderness alone.

This story makes you feel your right there with Brian, experiencing all new scary and exciting adventures. I give it a two thumbs up and recommend it highly. ;;)
