This book was full of Canadian images of Northern Ontario. Loved the writing and the mystery. The story of two best friends going on a canoe trip to a village on Hudson Bay until they meet a couple of other people and notice a really big forest fire. A page turner. A story of survival. The photo is of an early sunrise on the lake 2 minutes away from my house. Muskrat Lake. #FoodandLit @Catsandbooks @Texreader

I could hardly put this book down. The suspense was killing me. Also, I need more wilderness-based mysteries. Finally, Heller is a Denver-based author that appeals too.

“So much of all this, so much of all living was patience and thinking.”

In my classroom, Hatchet can be used for teaching perseverance, problem-solving, and self-discovery, while connecting students to themes of nature and survival.

Hatchet was published in 1986 and won the Newbery Honor in 1987. The story follows 13-year-old Brian Robeson, who must learn to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. Equipped with only a hatchet and his wits, Brian faces challenges that test his resilience and resourcefulness.
