When a storm leaves his companion unconscious, Brian must use his hard-won wilderness skills and ingenuity to navigate a treacherous river journey, discovering that survival means even more when another person's life depends on you. This gripping adventure explores resilience, responsibility, and the power of human determination in the face of overwhelming odds.
The government sends Brian back to the Canadian wilderness in this beloved follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen! Two years after Brian Robeson survived fifty-four days alone in the Canadian wilderness, the government wants him to head back so they can learn what he did to stay alive. This time Derek Holtzer, a government psychologist, will accompany him. But a freak storm leaves Derek unconscious. Brian's only hope is to transport Derek a hundred miles down the river to a trading post. He's survived with only a hatchet before--now can Brian build a raft and navigate an unknown river? For the first time it's not only Brian's survival that's at stake. . .
