Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered wndbreaker and that hatchet his mother gave him as a present- and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parents' divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self-pity, or despair- it will take all his know-how and determination and more courage that he knew he possessed to survive. For twenty-five years Gary Paulsen's award-winning contemporary classic has been the survival story with which al others are compared. This new edition will introduce a new generation of readers to this page-turning, heart-stopping adventure.
