About this ebook
Brian sets out on the hunt of a lifetime in this follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen!
Brian Robeson has stood up to the challenge of surviving the wilderness in Hatchet, The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return. Now, while camping alone on a lake in the woods, he finds a wounded and whimpering dog. As Brian treats her wounds, he worries about who or what did this to her. His instincts tell him to head north, quickly, to check on his Cree friends. With his new companion at his side, he sets out on the hunt.
Gary Paulsen expertly delivers a riveting story that brilliantly combines two of his great themes: the human animal's place in nature, and the mysterious and wonderful bond between humans and dogs.
“The Brian books reveal nature and humankind’s place in it with spare prose that seems ideally suited to the setting and plot.” —VOYA
“Based on real incidents, this well-written sequel to Hatchet and its successors will be gobbled up by the author’s legions of fans.” —Kirkus Reviews

Out of all of the adventures in Brian's Saga, this is probably the most hastily thrown together (in this reader's opinion) and seemed not to actually be a continuation of Brian's Return, but something pasted onto the end of that story as though it were an afterthought. Having read the original in the '90s, I'm of the opinion that Paulsen felt that he needed to add another piece to the story. This feels very rushed, falls flat in many cases, and suddenly and abruptly ends without much fanfare. I can't believe I'm saying this about a Paulsen novel, but it wasn't worth the price of admission.

Way too many grammar errors. I gave up before the end because of the run-on sentences, among other things. However, the addition of the dog added a lot to the plot.
