This week I have read 'Hatchet' by Gary Paulsen. This is one of my favorite books that I read when I was younger also and could not resist sharing it. It is about a man who faces the wilderness alone and used his Hatchet to help survive. I think it is so well written and really does feel like you are taken on the adventure to try and survive. Because it is in such suspense the whole way through the book, it keeps a reader drawn in to find out what is about to happen and what obstacle or challenged is about to be faced. I would direct this book at a year 7 class and use it as a book to get the students minds thinking about a suspenseful story they could write. I highly recommend this book because it is so much fun to be involved in an adventure of survival and keeps you in suspense!
