Description
Brian Robeson returns to the Canadian wilderness in this gripping sequel to Hatchet. Two years after surviving fifty-four days alone, he is sent back by the government to test his survival skills once more. This time, however, Brian faces an even greater challenge: transporting a companion a hundred miles down the river to safety. A freak storm leaves Brian's companion unconscious, and with no choice but to act quickly, Brian must build a raft and navigate an unknown river. As he embarks on this perilous journey, his survival skills are put to the ultimate test. With vivid prose, Gary Paulsen crafts a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they follow Brian's desperate bid for survival.
