It's a great book, has a lot of suspense. It's a big mystery and i liked it. If you like mysteries this is the book for you.
I really like the Hatchet because it is a action packed book that puts the main character through many interesting and exciting problems. This story is about how a thirteen-year-old boy survives in the wilderness with nothing but a hatchet after a plane crash. The book is full of action due to all the dangers and problems he faces in the wilderness. For example, how he used his hatchet to make tools to help him hunt, build a shelter, dangerous situations with wild animals, and how he tries to get help from the outside. I think all these situations he encounters are very real, and it is easy to put myself in the story. The only problem I have with this book is that the character focuses too much on surviving in the wild instead of trying to escape or get help. If i were him, I would have made more rescue signals like making a fire. I recommend this book to people who like adventures in the wilderness.

I would give it 5 stars
That book is very good I think if have not read it you should.
The story, The Hatchet, happened in a forest near the border of Canada and USA. The main character, Brian, was going for a trip to Canada and visit his father. But on the way, the pilot got an heart attack and died, so the plane crashed into a pound in the mysterious Forest. Brian has to survive in the forest with just a hatchet. Throughout the story, I think Brian is tough and brave. He developed skills that could help him survive in the forest. For example, he learned how to hunt, fish, make fire and other skills that helped him sustain his life in the dangerous forest. It is hard for a person to survive in a dangerous forest alone. But after a period of time, he improved and started to build weapons such as bows and arrows that make his job more efficient. I enjoy reading this story because the author taught me a lesson with this story. You have to persist on doing a thing that helps you to accomplish your goal. As we can refer to the story, Brian’s job is to survive and find his way back to home. Though it things seems impossible to me, but he didn’t give up, he persisted on accomplishing his goal. In our daily life, although there are problems and challenges that we don’t want to face or dare not take on. But if you keep on trying, eventually, you would succeed. Do things with passion and persistence, in return, you might receive happiness and joy.
