Hatchet 30th Anniversary Edition

Author(s): Gary Paulsen

Adventure and Real Life Stories

This award-winning contemporary classic is the survival story with which all others are compared--and a page-turning, heart-stopping adventure, recipient of the Newbery Honor. Hatchet has also been nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.   Since it was first published in 1987, the story of thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson's survival following a plane crash has become a modern classic. Stranded in the desolate wilderness, Brian uses his instincts and his hatchet to stay alive for fifty-four harrowing days.   This twentieth-anniversary edition of Hatchet contains a new introduction and sidebar commentary by Gary Paulsen, written especially for this volume. Drew Willis's detailed pen-and-ink illustrations complement the descriptions in the text and add a new dimension to the book. This handsome edition of the Newbery Honor book will be treasured by Hatchet fans as well as by readers encountering Brian's unforgettable story for the first time.

Bernice's Review - Enduring classic ‘Hatchet’ is a miraculous tale of survival against all odds! It tells the story of Brian, who is forced to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness, with nothing but a hatchet. Perfect for reading with more reluctant readers as it’s not long but packs a gripping & fascinating tale into few words!
