Gary Paulsen's Hatchet strands young Brian Robeson beside a Canadian lake. After the bush plane's pilot suffers a heart attack, the hatchet on his belt becomes his fire starter, his tool, and his defense against a moose, a porcupine, and a tornado. This grid follows Brian's ordeal, from the foolbird and turtle eggs he learns to eat to the rescue that finally ends it.
