Book Review of Hatchet (Brian's Saga, Bk 1)

Hatchet (Brian's Saga, Bk 1)
reviewed A word of cautionfor younger readers on
Helpful Score: 4


Though the book is a dramatic read, I would not recommend it for readers that are younger or less mature, or those experiencing family srife because of the ideological setting. As with anything I think you should read it yourself before you decide if it is good for your child or not.
Availale on wikipedia: "the boy is stranded and the bittersweet memory of his mother, who Brian has discovered was cheating on his father...Finally, after reaching his father, he is no closer to being able to tell him about the mother's affair than at the novel's beginning." Though the boy's learning survival skills is empowering to him, it does noting to help him survive the emotional wilderness created by his selfish parents.
