Hatchet really got me hooked on survival when I was 7-8 years old. I remember it being a "tough read" at that age, but very, very exciting! That book changed my life, really.

Another good book about a youth living in the wilderness is "My Side of the Mountain". I also read it as a kid and it was good. There were 1-2 sequels too. I think it was also a Newberry Award winner.

Hatchet had a sequel or two... I read "The River" which was what followed it when I was maybe 10-11 - pretty good book. there's another one called "the island" maybe - I have it, but haven't read it (just saw it and picked it up - I think its in storage).

Yeah, there is a Gary Paulsen book called The Island, but it's not a sequel, it's a whole different book. The one I got for Evolute (Brian's Winter) is kinda like a what if Hatchet sequel about if he didn't get out before winter, and what would have happened if he had to survive the winter.

That sounds very interesting, I'll keep an eye out for it!
