Brian is forced to crash-land the plane in a lake--and finds himself stranded in the remote Canadian wilderness with only his clothing and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present before his departure. <br /><br />Brian had been distraught over his parents' impending divorce and the secret he carries about his mother, but now he is truly desolate and alone. Exhausted, terrified, and hungry, Brian struggles to find food and make a shelter for himself. He has no special knowledge of the woods, and he must find a new kind of awareness and patience as he meets each day's challenges. Is the water safe to drink? Are the berries he finds poisonous? <br /><br />Slowly, Brian learns to turn adversity to his advantage--an invading porcupine unexpectedly shows him how to make fire, a devastating tornado shows him how to retrieve supplies from the submerged airplane. Most of all, Brian leaves behind the self-pity he has felt about his predicament as he summons the courage to stay alive. <br /><br />A story of survival and of transformation, this riveting book has sparked many a reader's interest in venturing into the wild.18Gary Paulsen3.763994622801220001158125kca://work/amzn1.gr.work.v1.r_sm_y7tG-b00YGE5HqhQQ1610038200readFri Dec 09 22:55:21 -0800 20160051falsenoneTue Aug 29 11:20:01 -0700 2006Wed Mar 22 11:44:07 -0700 20171116186017564170165kca://profile:goodreads/A2PCDUCFEEK4OBAliseAliseThe United StatesfalseSun Jan 22 22:49:10 -0800 2017Sun Jan 22 22:49:10 -0800 20170
