\"\"Some books are like chewing gum \u2013 you chew \u2018em up and spit them out and instantly forget them. Others are like bad kebab and leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. Very few are like Ben and Jerry\u2019s chunky monkey ice \u2013cream; you want more and more and once tasted you can\u2019t even remember what life was like before you sampled it!<\/p>\n

Such is the way with the book Hatchet\u00a0 by Gary Paulsen<\/em><\/strong> (please Google this man and find out how a librarian changed his life).<\/p>\n

Brian\u2019s parents have divorced and his summer is to be split between them. In order to get from one to the other he has to take a shortish ride on a plane, or so he thinks.\u00a0 When an accident occurs on the plane our hero finds himself lost and alone in the Canadian wilderness with only a hatchet to make the difference between survival and well err the other thing.<\/p>\n
