Excellent book to use with your class when reading the novel Hatchet. Contains extension activities, vocabulary lists, and quizes.

This guide was excellent! I was able to get my students engaged all throughout the book. It was helpful with quizzes and tests. I did not have to waste a lot of time putting things together in order to have my classroom full of student projects! It was wonderful to see their imaginations take off, especially middle school students!

I wouldn't rely on this book alone to teach my unit, but it is helpful to supplement your planning and activities.

Very helpful package for supporting the teaching of Hatchet.

Book arrived promptly and in good shape.

The story was about a boy named Brian, who was trying to survive in the wilderness. One summer, Brian flew to Canada to visit his father. The pilot had a heart attack and died. Brian had to fly the plane. He flew into water and was hurt very badly. The only things he had were the clothes he had on, money, and a hatchet. Now he has to try to survive with the things he has. I liked the book because it was exciting and it had a lot of aciton. My favorite part was when Brian went into the plane to get the first aid kit. I think you should read it because it is about a boy who is trying to survive alone in the wilderness.

After the pilot of the plane has a heart attack, thirteen-year-old Brian is forced into a crashed landing. Alone now, Brian must brave the Canadian wilderness armed with only a hatchet and his survival skills. He struggles with the elements and the knowledge of his mother's secret affair while waiting to be saved. The author, Gary Paulsen goes into great detail when describing Brian's environmnet, yet he never forgets to share his emotions with the reader. This is a great book for middle grade students to enjoy.
