AlbakiReads Editorial

A wilderness journey with a canine companion

While camping alone in the woods, Brian finds a wounded dog and sets out north, concerned for his Cree friends and uncertain about what injured the animal. The search gives this installment of the Brian series two connected subjects: survival in the wilderness and the bond between people and dogs. Its premise also places human life within a wider natural world, as Brian must respond to both the injured animal beside him and the landscape around him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy wilderness survival fiction for ages 9–12.
  • Those following Brian Robeson’s story across the Hatchet books.
  • Readers interested in stories about people, animals, and life in nature.

Book overview

Brian sets out on the hunt of a lifetime in this follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen!

Brian Robeson has stood up to the challenge of surviving the wilderness in Hatchet, The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return. Now, while camping alone on a lake in the woods, he finds a wounded and whimpering dog. As Brian treats her wounds, he worries about who or what did this to her. His instincts tell him to head north, quickly, to check on his Cree friends. With his new companion at his side, he sets out on the hunt.

Gary Paulsen expertly delivers a riveting story that brilliantly combines two of his great themes: the human animal's place in nature, and the mysterious and wonderful bond between humans and dogs.

"The Brian books reveal nature and humankind's place in it with spare prose that seems ideally suited to the setting and plot." --VOYA

"Based on real incidents, this well-written sequel to Hatchet and its successors will be gobbled up by the author's legions of fans." --Kirkus Reviews
