Edition DescriptionSpecial
SynopsisCelebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Newbery Honor-winning survival novel Hatchet with a pocket-sized edition perfect for travelers to take along on their own adventures. This special anniversary edition includes a new introduction and commentary by author Gary Paulsen, pen-and-ink illustrations by Drew Willis, and a water resistant cover. Hatchet has also been nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read. Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson, haunted by his secret knowledge of his mother's infidelity, is traveling by single-engine plane to visit his father for the first time since the divorce. When the plane crashes, killing the pilot, the sole survivor is Brian. He is alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present. At first consumed by despair and self-pity, Brian slowly learns survival skills--how to make a shelter for himself, how to hunt and fish and forage for food, how to make a fire--and even finds the courage to start over from scratch when a tornado ravages his campsite. When Brian is finally rescued after fifty-four days in the wild, he emerges from his ordeal with new patience and maturity, and a greater understanding of himself and his parents., Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Paulsen's Newbery Honor-winning survival novel with a pocket-sized edition that includes a new Introduction and commentary by the author, pen-and-ink illustrations by Willis, and a water resistant cover. 5 x 7.

  • well written, compelling, must read

    I love this book. I've already read it and loaned the book away - gone. I ordered a new copy, happy to have the 30th anniversary version. This book is great for kids and adults. It is amazing and it is true. Must read.

    Loved the book when I first read it years ago and I am loving it even more now as I read it out loud to my grand children.

  • Highly recommended!

    Great first book in the Hatchet series! This book was my reluctant-reader nephew’s favorite book and now I’m getting it for his son to read.

  • A child wrote in red pen, though the book!

    I love the story, but when you buy something written in red pen, throughout the book...it's messed up!

    This is a great story, I read it when I was a kid and now in my 40's, still a fun read.

    Water resistant and a page-turner.
