Book of Day. Yeah no more finals!

So finals are done! Yeah two weeks off from school before I start summer classes. anyway I started reminiscing about books I read in school, and I remembered this one. Hatchet By Gary Paulson. I thought this tale of survival would be a great fit for book of the day, after surviving finals week.




Hatchet is the story of a boy named Brian. On a trip to the Canadian oilfields to spend the summer with his dad, the pilot of the Cessna he is traveling in suffers a heart attack and dies. Brian must land the plane in the forest. Brian learns to exist in in this wilderness. He faces many dangers including hunger, animal attacks, and even a tornado. This book gives the reader a better understanding of what it is like to survive in an untamed land.
