The River
The River | Gary Paulsen
7 posts | 29 read | 5 to read
"We want you to do it again." These words, spoken to Brian Robeson, will change his life. Two years earlier, Brian was stranded alone in the wilderness for 54 days with nothing but a small hatchet. Yet he survived. Now the government wants him to go back into the wilderness so that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques that kept Brian alive. Soon the project backfires, though, leaving Brian with a wounded partner and a long river to navigate. His only hope is to build a raft and try to transport the injured man a hundred miles downstream to a trading post--if the map he has is accurate. From the Paperback edition.

“He realized that he was not always right, was, indeed, often not right, and at the same time he found that others were not always wrong.”

Butterfinger My fifth grade class is reading this right now. We love Gary Paulsen. 3y
BethM @Butterfinger I started getting pulled in 3rd grade for advanced reading which is the only reason I can think of that is never read him! 3y

Gary Paulsen can write wilderness survival stories that put you right into the action. Part of The Hatchet series, the MC must find a way to transport his unconscious friend 100 miles down the river to get help. No phone, no food- just a hatchet

Ahhhhhh. This was the one I was remembering scenes of. I thought this was Hatchet, but turns out I was mixing up Hatchet with its sequel. Found it on Libby. Off to start this one.. then I might nap a bit. ☺️😴

LeslieO Love this series! Have you read the rest of the books. Gary Paulson got so many letters from kids asking what would have happened if Brian wasn't rescued at the end of Hatchet that the wrote a book Brian's Winter after he wrote the River 7y
Clwojick @LeslieO I haven‘t read Brian‘s winter yet. Do you recommend??? 7y
