Hatchet

Love this book. Cliff hanger chapter endings keeps them coming back for more.

Loving this book. Its very addictive

I'm a forest school practitioner and have used this book with teenagers who I work with. It is an easy read and can inspire lots of practical activities.

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.

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.

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 !

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.
