When the plane crashes, killing the pilot, the sole survivor is Brian. Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson, haunted by his secret knowledge of his mother’s infidelity, is traveling by single-engine plane to visit his father for the first time since the divorce. Hatchet has also been nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. This special anniversary edition includes a new introduction and commentary by author Gary Paulsen, pen-and-ink illustrations by Drew Willis, and a water resistant cover.
