I remembered when I was in middle school and we had to read this book in class. I all was wanted to read it again, because I never finished the story, and couldn't remember the name. Came across this video and the moment I heard plane crash and turtle eggs memories of being back in class reading this book came back to me. I'm going to pick up this book one day and read it.
Me: *in middle school reading it in school and absolutely loving it, along with near the end of the year we are going to read a cool book called "Outsiders"
I was introduced to this book by a couple of strangers while I was on vacation when I was around 13 or 14. I met a man and woman when I was traveling from Florida to Michigan and Wisconsin in my grandpa's RV. At an RV park I met a random couple a man and woman who was traveling by motorcycle.For some reason they seemed fascinated by me and we talked, they told me about the two books. Although it wasn't smart I gave them a mailing address when we parted ways and they wrote me a letter containing the books. Unfortunately I never took the time to write them back and lost the letter. As a child sharing one's address with a stranger was absolutely stupid of course, but I'm glad I did it. I always feel bad I never wrote them back, they probably never knew I got the books sure because of that. This was around 2007 or so. But I did get the books and I did read them and I did enjoy it. If you were that random couple I met in some random state in 2007 or so who rode motorcycles and told me about the books and took the time to mail them to me, thanks I greatly appreciate it and sorry I never wrote back.
I read this as a kid, and loved it so much because I always had carried a hatchet around when I was younger for chopping down trees to build forts and etc. I read the Transall Saga after this, which is a similar sci-fi variation of the same situation, authored by Paulson as well. They are both fantastic books, and I'm truly glad to have experienced their influence.
For every English class that I had from elementary school, all the way up through high school, I wrote one book report on hatchet per year. My favorite book of all time and each year I read it my book report got better and better lol
I remember my mom got the audiobook from our local library when I was a kid and we used to listen to it everyday waiting for what comes next in each chapter 🥺🙏
I have no Idea when I read it, but this is one of the few books that is so embedded into my mind, I still remembered some key parts. For some odd reason lately it popped up in my mind. And I finally found it again.
My 5th grade teacher made us read this and write 60-80 page book report the hardest project i’ve ever done in my life i am now in highschool and still have never done a project near as hard as that was the book was amazing though, i love that teacher!
About the book Hatchet, the part of the book where he goes underwater into the submerged airplane with a month old rotting corpse right there in the plane too is quite a psychological thriller for a young child. They had us read this when we were in 8th or 9th grade if i can remember correcty, which means i was about 13 years old.
I don't remember exactly what grade I was in when we had to read it, but I still vividly remember that scene. And then after we read the book, the teacher had us watch the movie based on it and I remember the dread knowing that scene was coming lol
If you're a schoolkid and you have to read this and you think it sucks, it gets a lot better. There's a psychological shift Brian develops and he goes into survival mode. He's kind of a weak kid until then. Stick with it. This book is incredible.
After reading the book in class I went out of my way to find and read both the sequels - one a hypothetical “what if” story about Brian needing to survive the winter, and one about Brian’s return to society and his realization that he prefers life in nature.
Part 2 was so good when he meets the blind counselor who ask Brian to explain in detail of what he experienced in the wilderness alone freaking mint series
I remember reading this book for summer reading and I hated doing that but this book I had such imagination while reading it. I hope they make a movie for this book
I don't think there's a better book, tbh I got really lucky that I got to read it, and this was a time I didn't like to read but I was so intrigued, I wanted to know what the whole story was. Needless to say, it's the best book ever.
book name : hatchet author : gary paulsen a thirteen year old boy brian robeson is on a bush plane which he is flying to Hampton in new york his parents had gotten divorced and his mother gave him a hatchet but suddenly the pilot had a heart attack and brian was trying to control the plane but he couldn’t , the plane had crashed into the lake.
You should read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian it's a great book. Maybe not as good as Hatchet but still really enjoyable. A Raisin in the Sun is also pretty good but not as good as the other two
I could’ve used the vid back in 6th grade we had to read this book and then do a poster report on it as our final project for the end of the year in language class
Quicker version. Brian is flying to Canada to meet his father. His mother gave him a hatchet because they were going into the wilderness to hunt. (i think i forgot) His pilot had a heart attack and died, he crashed into the Canadian wilderness and lived. He was very hungry and ate fish, he built a house and animals attacked him. Basically the same thing happened and there was a tornado. (In the movie but idk abt the book) He went to the plane, and the hatchet fell into the water so he got it back up. He kicked and broke down a part of the plane and got the survival pack. The pilot got eaten by fish.. (if you watch the movie once you see Brian going to the plane with a piece of wood cover your eyes .) He screamed and went back. And then he ate the food in it and another pilot came, Then he got saved. The end :3
I remember reading this in 4th grade. Our teacher was having us follow along with an audio book, and we got to the part when the pilot has a heart attack. I remember the pilot mentioning in the book how it felt like his chest was coming apart, and I envisioned the guys heart quite literally ripping his chest open from the inside out. Afterwards, I start feeling kinda lightheaded, so I go over and let my teacher know I’m feeling kinda funny. She just kinda dismissed it and told me to go back to my seat. I turn around, take at least 5 steps, and passed out. I hit my head on the giant ac unit they had in the wall and knocked over a couple books, but overall I was fine.
I see you have a Cessna 406, but it is not a twin Cessna 406. On page 24, when the engine runs out of fuel, the text says “the engine coughed,” meaning only one engine. If you look up Cessna 406 bush plane (bush plane is mentioned on page 1) you will see pictures of a single engine high wing. No hate, I’m just doing a book report on this book and wanted to share my view.
I like the part in the book you didn’t mention where when he dove under water he realized that the fish he had been eating all that time were eating the flesh off of the dead pilot. Hence he was probably eating bits of human flesh.
Read this book in the 4th Grade we had a reward system where you were tested on the story and given points to spend on full-size candy bars if you passed.

I have no Idea when I read it, but this is one of the few books that is so embedded into my mind, I still remembered some key parts.
For some odd reason lately it popped up in my mind. And I finally found it again.
My 5th grade teacher made us read this and write 60-80 page book report the hardest project i’ve ever done in my life i am now in highschool and still have never done a project near as hard as that was the book was amazing though, i love that teacher!

I have a test next week and I'm gonna watch this video multiple times until I memorize it so all I wanted to say is thank you for making this video
We're here to help!
I feel like reading this book as a kid and watching Lost growing up is the reason I love survival stories so much
I remember being so excited about finding Brian's winter which is just an alternate tale where he doesn't get rescued
You know there’s a sequel right?
About the book Hatchet, the part of the book where he goes underwater into the submerged
airplane with a month old rotting corpse right there in the plane too is
quite a psychological thriller for a young child. They had us read
this when we were in 8th or 9th grade if i can remember correcty, which
means i was about 13 years old.
I very vividly remember the image my head gave me when reading that. I was 9 or 10 when my class read it.
UHHHH I READ THIS IN 3RD GRADE
@@urmomeditI also read it in 3rd grade- :’)
I don't remember exactly what grade I was in when we had to read it, but I still vividly remember that scene. And then after we read the book, the teacher had us watch the movie based on it and I remember the dread knowing that scene was coming lol

I’m in 4th grade and I just finished this book. One thing I have to say Is you are absolutely correct
After reading the book in class I went out of my way to find and read both the sequels - one a hypothetical “what if” story about Brian needing to survive the winter, and one about Brian’s return to society and his realization that he prefers life in nature.
Brian's Winter and Brian's Return. Amazing books.
First book I ever read! Brian's winter is just as good
I read this book back when I was in 6th grade, it made me love things like disaster movies and books, true crime, etc.
