My Favorite Book of All Time

     My favorite book of all time is Hatchet. I like this book because it is about survival in the wilderness. This interests me because I am in Boy Scouts and like camping. I have always wanted to go back country camping, camping in the forest where you have to hike to and make your own campsites. The Hatchet is like this because there is no set up camp and the main character has to do everything by himself. He is stranded in the middle of the forest with only a hatchet.
     The story is that the main character's parents are divorced. Brian, the main character, is flying to visit his father in Canada. His mother gives him a hatchet because she knows that he can use it in Canada and wants to give him a gift because he hasn't been talking to her. The pilot has a heart attack and he crashes into a lake. He only has his hatchet and uses it to build a shelter and make tools to hunt. After a while there is a tornado that destroys his shelter and breaks or throws most of his tools into the lake. It is after the tornado that he remembers the survival kit in the plane. When he gets it he accidentally leaves the emergency transmitter on and someone comes and rescues him.
     I thought this was a very interesting book and would recommend it to anyone.
