Brian's Winter is by Gary Paulsen. Hatchet is Paulsen's classic tale of a boy's survival in the north woods after a plane crash. This book revisits Brian, who was not rescued, and imagines how he would have survived a Canadian winter. Paulsen serves up one cliffhanger after another (a marauding bear, a charging elk), and always there are the supreme challenges of obtaining food and protection against the cold. A great read for boys.
Ratings: 7th grade - 9 out of 10.
