About this ebook
Brian returns to the wilderness to discover where he truly belongs in this follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen!
As millions of readers of Hatchet, The River, and Brian's Winter know, Brian Robeson survived alone in the wilderness by finding solutions to extraordinary challenges. But now that's he's back to ordinary life, he can't make sense of high school life. He feels disconnected, more isolated than he did alone in the north woods. How can Brian discover his true path in life, and where he belongs? The answer is to return.
Gay Paulsen skillfully explores the meaning of belonging and purpose, and reminds us of a crucial rule of the wilderness: expect the unexpected.
“Bold, confident and persuasive.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred
“Paulsen bases many of his protagonist’s experiences on his own, and the wilderness through which Brian moves is vividly observed.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred

It is a pretty good book and if you have read brian's winter, brian's hunt, hatchet, and brian's return and have liked them. You should read The River. The River actually comes before brian's return. I would rate the river right up next to Hatchet.

Though as a teenager I enjoyed this novel with much joy I would love to meet Gary someday...but along with me this book was perfect with Brian coming back into the wild and relearning what must be taught by nature..nice book!

The author had done it again. I have only read the sample-ma-jig, but my heart is already pounding!
