What Parents Need to Know
About Hatchet
Parents need to know that this is an intense, fast, exciting read. The main character is a 13-year-old boy whose parents are divorced. He survives a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness en route to visit his father and must use the hatchet his mother once gave him to stay alive. Many kids report that this is the first school-assigned book they fell in love with.

It's pretty good. Suspensful and good.
It was pretty good... not too crazy 'bout it, though. I read this about a year ago for school, and I thought it was okay, I guess. It's ment for a lower age group I think. Other than that, it's full of suspense on every page, and I was suprised how everything turned out for him. I gotta read the sequal!
