There was a wild crashing sound, a ripping of metal, and the plane blew through the trees, out over the water and down, down to slam into the lake . . .
Brian is a city boy. Not used to living rough. Until his plane crash-lands in the Canadian wilderness. All he has is a hatchet - and a desperate will to survive. Now Brian must learn to live the hard way - or die.
Sas is a WAAPA graduate with 8 years experience in bookshops, specialising in Children's and Young Adult fiction. She reads fantasy when she gets the chance but you'll also find her curled up with classic literature and Silver Screen star biographies. She loves getting kids excited about new adventures and is so enthusiastic when giving recommendations that she sometimes gets tongue-tied.
The best book for outdoorsy reluctant readers! Stranded in a Canadian forest with nothing but a hatchet, Brian struggles to survive. I think kids love this so much because when Brian fails, but he has to try again. This is a high interest, low reading level series. My big brother loved it, I love it – and I’d love to share it with you.
Ages 10-18
