Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen

4.0

---

This is a “what-if” story set-up a sequel to Hatchet. In Hatchet Brain is a young man who survives a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness. He has to learn to live off the land with a hatchet being his only tool. At the end of the book he is rescued during the beginning of autumn. In Brian’s Winter, the writer revisits the setting of Hatchet and asks, “What if he hadn’t been rescued? What if Brian had to figure out a way to survive the harsh Northern winter?” Very good book, if you liked Hatchet, Sign of the Beaver or My Side of the Mountain (all of which I highly recommend) you’ll probably like Brian’s Winter.
