Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

I was probably half way through this book and completely bored when my friend told me it was a true story and I was suddenly more interested. Let me just clear that up right now, it's not a true story. But it is pretty great. It took me two or three days to finish.

This is a book about a boy who's on a small plane with only the pilot for company. Well, to wrap up the first 30 pages or so, the driver dies, the plane crashes and the boy is stranded in the middle of nowhere. This is the story of how he adapts. 

I would recommend this book to people who like to camp or are interested in things which have to do with the woods and survival because that is much of what this has to do with. 

I would probably rate this book a 6.5/10. The only reason I kept reading it is so that I could review it. The ending was pretty good but for a long section of the book nothing really interesting happens. I guess that's all...
