Summary: Brian Robeson, 13 years old, survives alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing to assist him but a small hatchet. Brian was the only passenger on a small Cessna 406 plane when the pilot died of a heart attack and the plane crashed into a small lake. Left with only a hatchet he received as a gift from his mother, Brian then has to survive and he has to build a shelter, he has to hunt for his food, fight off wild animals, big and small. While facing the outside wilderness, Brian also has thinks about his parents' breakup and what he conceived as his mother's unfaithfulness. After nearly two months of resourcefulness adventures, Brian is rescued, but while he was trying to survive in the wilderness he had grown and changed to become a new person.

Explanation:
Favorite Passage: The pilot says this to brain about flying. “All flying is easy. Just takes learning. Like everything else. Like everything else.” Chapter 1 pg 5.

I like this passage because it is saying that you can accomplish pretty much anything which I think it is true. If work hard and practice you can accomplish anything.
