Product Description

Synopsis

Instead of being rescued from a plane crash, as in the author's book "Hatchet," this story portrays what would have happened to Brian had he been forced to survive a winter in the wilderness with only his survival pack and hatchet.

5.0 out of 5 stars an appetizer for adventure, 10 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Brian's Winter (Hardcover)
A bone needle, rabbit lacing, knife, hatchet,clothes these are tools Brian needs to survive his deadliest chalenge yet WINTER! At first Brian is haveing a good time, but then things start to get a little chilli. One morning Brian wakes up to here the sweet sound of silence.Brian automattically knows something is wrong for he dose not here the sweet sound of the morning birds. When he goes to relive his bodily fluids hr realizes something is terribly wrong. It has been colder and have been having constant rain storms. Then it hits him like a ton of bricks winter is comeing.He is not prepard for what is ahead of him. I really found this book interesting. I would recomend this book to any one who likes adventure and has read the book hatchet and liked it.It was very adventurous and enjoyable. I think it would be good for young kids to teach them about the wild and what it is like in the canadian wilderness.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Gory!, 23 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Brian's Winter (Hardcover)
Brian's Winter was very gory. If you've already read Hatchet, it's just another ending telling what would've happened if at the end of Hatchet, Brian hadn't been rescued.
