Hatchet is a book about a boy named Brian who receives a hatchet from his mother who is divorced from his father. Brian flies to northern Canada in a bush plane, and the plane crashes and everybody dies except for Brian. He has to survive in the Canadian wildness until he gets rescued.

I like all the details Gary Paulsen puts in his book. I like that Gary Paulsen uses all the 5 human senses and that he uses a lot of sensory details.
