Paulsen, Gary.  Hatchet. New York : Aladdin, 1999.  Reviewed by Brittany P., Rundlett Middle School.

This book is about a thirteen year old boy named Brian Robinson who goes to see his Dad in Canada because his parents split up.  On the way, the plane crashes and he has to survive on the food around him.  He finds some berries on a bush and he ate them so fast that he now calls them gut berries because they are so disgusting to him.  Then he finds a bear and the bear scares him off.  He made a little hut under a rock and he goes back to that and stays there trying to survive.
