Hatchet

Loving this book. Its very addictive

I'm a forest school practitioner and have used this book with teenagers who I work with. It is an easy read and can inspire lots of practical activities.

I bought this after it was recommended on a YouTube channel I watch. It is a quick read, as in a few hours max at only 160 pages. But it packs a lot in. My mother and son both read it before I did and we all agreed it was a really good book. Excellent lessons for youngsters about not giving up and the strength or a positive attitude. I will leave it there for you to enjoy the journey yourself. Buy it and enjoy it.

The Journey that you go through in this book is very satisfying and the story telling is amazing. You find yourself imagining what you would do in the situations to this young boy in the wild. I give a 4 not 5 because i felt that there could have been another element to the story that would have made it more intriguing.

A simple but engaging read with lots of literary devices. I really enjoyed this and am planning to teach it at year 7/8 level.

I'm an adult but this is a great book and well written. The difficulty he faces makes this much better than other books which make surviving sound too easy !

A well paced, attention gripping tale told with the minimum of dialogue. I found it as a recomendation at the end of another survival story and it was well worth reading. Pity there isn't an e-book version, especially as the thirtieth anniversary edition was released in 2017.

Loved this book growing up. The writing is simple, the book is short, but it is a good tale of a boy learning to be self sufficient in the wild.
