Hatchet x 6 Award-winning author Pack by Gary Paulsen (author)

City boy Brian is in a small bushplane, flying over the Canadian wilderness on the way to see his father, when the pilot has a heart attack and dies. The plane crash-lands in a lake in the remote forest. Now Brian must learn to fend for himself – or die. All he has is a hatchet, and a desperate will to survive. How will he find food, fire and shelter? Will help ever arrive? Gary Paulsen’s Newbery Honor winner is a thrilling story of survival against all the odds, and a dramatic celebration of the might and majesty of nature.

Gary Paulsen

A chance visit to a library on a cold day was the turning point in young Gary Paulsen’s life. A librarian gave him a library card and a book, and the teenaged Paulsen discovered that books could provide excellent companionship. His resulting passion for literature has stimulated a wealth of published works for both children and adults.

The product of a difficult childhood, Paulsen ran away from home at the age of fourteen. His experience in diverse jobs and a wide range of interests have provided the basis for much of his written work. His stories are woven from his personal experiences, and many of them feature outdoor settings and the harmony of nature. Several of his books deal with the theme of survival and human endurance. Hatchet, which has become a modern-day classic, won him the Newbery Honor Award. Read more
