I loved Hatchet,

The River was... eh.

Brian's Winter is great, retconning The River.

>>726651494
Close, in this one he goes to see his father in like northern canada or some shit, he has to fly in a prop-plane to some remote location. The pilot has a heart attack mid flight, dies so the kid has to crash land the plane on a lake, doesn't go well but he makes it. The only thing he has besides his damaged clothes after the crash is a hatchet and holster for it his mom had given him. He, a 13ish year old has to survive for like years, it's brutal but it makes you appreciate what you have soooo much, even reading it as a young kid.

How about that motherfucking Hank the Cowdog though?

No it's not. As a kid who loved camping out and the outdoors in general it's greatest book ever

>>726651324
>read the book
>its sequels
>have family out in Minnesota where author is from / lives
>go see his house
>meant a lot to a 12 year old

>>726651324
i love warhammer novels, dune, ALL of the harry potter books and ️50 shades of grey.

guess who i am.
im a stupid normie lol.

I liked it so much, I read one of those books in a day. I can't remember which sequel it was though.

>>726652151

Haha nice. I camped out with my dog in the woods and my buddy got in trouble sneaking out. Read this fucker all night for a class paper due that Monday. Big fire, steaks, and a pond next to me.

It's was great.

>>726652517
Considering the length and material, I'd say dune qualifies as patrician tier you normie shit lord.

Anyone read the books by Paulsen about sled dogs or the Iditarod?

>read hatchet in school
>turns out it had sequels
>its like die hard but with living off the land instead of guns and bombs
>how does the same thing keep happening to the same kid

Was it the same kid or were we just dumb kids and didn't bother reading that part? Been years

>>726651324
True fam

>>726652914
from what i remember some guy wanted to make a documentary about him and he went back

His name was Gary Paulson

I read at a collegiate level, and I still think this is one of the greatest books ever written. I loved that book as a kid and now as an adult

Brian's hunt was great, but short.

>>726651494
Fuck though what is that book? He lived in the trunk of a tree

>>726652151

Didnt this nigger hatchet a hole into a tree to sleep in? Like how the fuck does that work... get a tent faggot.

Anyone read the book about the kid who is sent to some wilderness in Alaska as punishment, and he makes a totem pole and gets attacked by a bear near the end? The part where he eats the live mouse is pretty rad.

>>726653842
I think you're thinking of My Side of the Mountain.

>>726653777
that'd probably change if you started listening to your porn with volume

>>726652084
In the book he manages to radio for help by diving in the lake for some emergency survival kit and gets rescued, but there is also another book where the radio thing doesnt end up work and he has to survive the winter and later i think gets saved by some natives? I cant really remember but it was something like that.

I don't think he carved it, I think he just found a hollowed out tree. But don't take my word for it.

I never finished it.

Its a really solid book that is easy to digest but offers a lot. Good book. try reading other good books now and have fun.

>>726651896
agreed. the river had moments though

>>726651494
Jesus I was just talking to a friend about this one. I couldn't remember the name either.

>>726651324
I read that shit in sixth grade. I enjoy the book still.

>>726653181
>>726653181
the setting was that the guy tuaght people how to survive and he wanted to know how this kid with no training did better than some people who had months of training so that he could improve the training. the book is set far enough in the past to not have this be totally unreasonable. the problem was that the plot forced him to go "no we do it for real, no gear just ways to call for help" then their ways to call for help get fried by a storm and the trainer dude has a stroke. in brians winter they just go "what if he didnt get saved before winter instead" so he only got lost once in that story line.

I thought people would go batshit over a thread about a children's book but a guess not. It's nice to see when everyone's chill like this.

>>726653842
no he slept in a small divet in a boulder that he built a shelter out of.

remember when he got attacked by a porcupine? shit was crazy

>>726657470
or when he went down into the lake to go inside the plane? The pilot was in there dead asf

>>726651324
Fantastic book but I doubt most 4th grade American children could read it and understand everything.

>>726654065

The reading level is 5.7, so the State has deemed that fifth graders should understand it.
It was about that grade I read it, of course I was 3-4 reading levels ahead of my peers.

I read it and both books that followed it in second grade after finding them in the library. I read it again in a class in 7th grade. I dont feel like I missed much the first time.

>>726657963
