Hatchet

I'm an adult but this is a great book and well written. The difficulty he faces makes this much better than other books which make surviving sound too easy !

A simple but engaging read with lots of literary devices. I really enjoyed this and am planning to teach it at year 7/8 level.

A well paced, attention gripping tale told with the minimum of dialogue. I found it as a recomendation at the end of another survival story and it was well worth reading. Pity there isn't an e-book version, especially as the thirtieth anniversary edition was released in 2017.

The Journey that you go through in this book is very satisfying and the story telling is amazing. You find yourself imagining what you would do in the situations to this young boy in the wild. I give a 4 not 5 because i felt that there could have been another element to the story that would have made it more intriguing.

I bought this after it was recommended on a YouTube channel I watch. It is a quick read, as in a few hours max at only 160 pages. But it packs a lot in. My mother and son both read it before I did and we all agreed it was a really good book. Excellent lessons for youngsters about not giving up and the strength or a positive attitude. I will leave it there for you to enjoy the journey yourself. Buy it and enjoy it.

Brilliantly written, poetic prose.Read to my 9 year old and we both loved it.

I ripped through this in a day then handed it to my 10yo daughter who inhaled the thing in one sitting! Utterly brilliant adventure about a child left to his own devices in the wilds of Canada... how he survives with nothing but his mind, his will to carry on and a resolute never-give-up attitude. Superb.

Loved this book growing up. The writing is simple, the book is short, but it is a good tale of a boy learning to be self sufficient in the wild.

The book came quick and was in perfect condition.

No wonder the efforts and rejections of years of practice have brought out real gold in writing by the author.The visuals are so stunning, that you feel as if you are right there in the midst of the scenes.Refreshing to read, even after such a long time, thanks to our school who recommended this book to my son, I ended up in this wonderful indulgence.
