About This Book

Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is stranded alone in the Canadian wilderness after his pilot suffers a heart attack. Armed only with a hatchet — a gift from his mother — Brian must learn to survive: building shelter, finding food, and facing his deepest fears over 54 days of solitude.
