Brian returns to the wilderness to discover where he truly belongs in this follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen As millions of readers of Hatchet, The River, and Brian's Winter know, Brian Robeson survived alone in the wilderness by finding solutions to extraordinary challenges. But now that's he's back to ordinary life, he can't make sense of high school life. He feels disconnected, more isolated than he did alone in the north woods. How can Brian discover his true path in life, and where he belongs? The answer is to return. Gay Paulsen skillfully explores the meaning of belonging and purpose, and reminds us of a crucial rule of the wilderness: expect the unexpected. "Bold, confident and persuasive." --Publishers Weekly, Starred "Paulsen bases many of his protagonist's experiences on his own, and the wilderness through which Brian moves is vividly observed." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Read all the Hatchet Adventures Brian's WinterThe RiverBrian's ReturnBrian's HuntAuthor: Gary PaulsenPublisher: EmberPublished: 03/13/2012Pages: 160Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.30lbsSize: 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.40dISBN: 9780307929600Audience: Ages 9-12Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 5.5Point Value: 4Interest Level: Middle GradeQuiz #/Name: 25297 / Brian's ReturnAbout the AuthorGARY PAULSEN is the distinguished author of many critically acclaimed books for young people.
