5.1.3 Hatchet 4-Pack

This book is the above-level title in the 5.1 Book Club Teacher's Guide. Students will continue to think about realistic fiction adventure and the theme of survival.  Blurb: Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present – and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parents’ divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self-pity, or despair – it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive. Lexile Level: 1020 Page Count: 235
