Hatchet
by Gary Paulsen
Hatchet is about a boy named Brian Robeson.  The book starts with a kid flying in a plane and while he's flying his pilot has a heart attack.  Then, the plane turns off course and crashes into a lake in the middle of the north Canadian woods.  The boy makes it out of the plane and crawls out onto the shore and mosquitos are biting him everywhere.  The rest of the book is about how he survives in the north Canadian woods and what he makes to survive.  Some of the things he does to survive are: making fire, picking berries, and making shelter, all with his hatchet.  I liked this book very much and I encourage other people to read it.
I give the book 5 out of 5 stars.
