Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

I liked this book because it is a well written survival story from which you just might learn something. It is the story of a young boy whose parents are divorced and he must fly between his mother and father. All was going well until the pilot was struck with a sudden heart attack and he is left alone to land the plane and rough it in the wild. It is very exciting to live with him through all his struggles and lessons learned in the woods as he fights the elements with his hatchet. This story completely engulfs the reader.
