Hatchet – Thirtieth Anniversary Edition by Gary Paulsen (2017)
There was a wild crashing sound, a ripping of metal, and the plane blew through the trees, out over the water and down, down to slam into the lake . . .
Brian is a city boy. Not used to living rough. Until his plane crash-lands in the Canadian wilderness. All he has is a hatchet – and a desperate will to survive. Now Brian must learn to live the hard way – or die.
The moral of Hatchet speaks to the human survival instinct. Brian fights to survive as soon as he lands on the island. The isolation and stress lead him to a mental health crisis, but his survival instinct intensifies, and he vows to fight to survive.
The front and rear cover of the book has been covered in clear contact.
