In Hatchet, 13-year-old Brian Robeson learned to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness, armed only with his hatchet. Finally, as millions of readers know, he was rescued at the end of the summer. But what if Brian hadn't been rescued? What if he had been left to face his deadliest enemy--winter?

Gary Paulsen raises the stakes for survival in this riveting and inspiring story as one boy confronts the ultimate test and the ultimate adventure.

Brian's winter by Gary Paulsen is great, suspenseful, intense, and enjoyable book. It is an awesome book especially if you like adventurous or survival books. In this book Brian endures many animals such as a skunk who he becomes very fond of her and names her Betty he also comes to face with wolves, deer, and the most dangerous one of them all a moose which attacked him during his hunt. Brian uses his knowledge of the wilderness to survive. He also uses his memories too help design bows, arrows, and even arrowheads. He got used too living in the wilderness so he worked on new hunting techniques. He also learned how too make his shelter more secure by packing the walls with mud making it water tight and nearly air tight. This is a great sequel to the book Hatchet. Brian is a great character considering he gives the book a lot of suspense. During the time Brian was in the woods he learned many useful things such as how to carve an animal which is a good thing considering he as improved his hunting skills. The book Brian's winter was a great book I would definitely recommend it to anyone who liked Hatchet or likes adventurous or survival books.

brians winter

I read the book, Brains Winter. It was about brain that is a boy that was in a plane crash and was the only survivor. He lived out the summer in the book, The Hatchet, and at the end was saved. But this book picks up as if he was not saved and shows him serving in the winter.
My favorite part of the book was when he killed the moose. I liked this part because it shows how much he has learned and it shows him making progress. I also like this part because it is exciting when the moose is attacking him and it makes you want to see what happens next. That is my favorite part in the movie.
I would recommend this book if you have read the book the hatchet because it is a great sequel/ alternate ending to the book. But if you did not like the book the hatchet I would not recommend this book to you because it is very similar to the hatchet. This is a great book and I really liked it. So in conclusion I would recommend this book if you liked the book the hatchet and if you didn't like the hatchet then this book is not for you.

Awesome Book!

I think that Brian's Winter is an interesting story. The author is Gary Paulsen who has written many great books. Brian's Winter is the third book after Hatchet. The book "The River" comes after Hatchet. Brian's Winter tells about what would have happened if Brian didn't get rescued out of the Canadian forests when he did and how he had to go through a strong and cold Canadian winter without and supplies besides the stuff he rescued from the plane. I liked this book because it tells about an interesting story of a boy on his own stranded away from home in a forest. Brian's Winter is just one of the five books of a series and I think you should definitely read it!

Good book

My son has enjoyed the other books before this one, and also the alternative ending books.

My first Paulsen book!

Gary Paulsen writes for young adults and teenagers. He got published long after I graduated high school. Anyway, this book is the story of Brian who must survive and endure the hardships of life in the Canadian wilderness. Paulsen is quite detailed in explaining his survival but it gets tedious at times and repetitive. It's a good book for young kids, boys and girls. Brian's story of survival is quite like Castaway for kids but only the winter wilderness of Canada rather than an island in the Pacific. The book is an easy read but I didn't like the parts about Brian killing the animals like rabbits since I'm a rabbit lover as well as moose and others.
