This book is a tale of a teen perserving throughout terrible hardships. Brian's Winter is a tremendous and exciting book that I think everyone should read. It is about a teen named Brian who is on his way to visit his dad in the Canadian oil fields when his pilot has a heart attack and dies. When Brian crashes and his only mode of defense or survival is a hatchet that his mom gave him, he is bewildered by how much he depends on it, and now with the Northern winter coming Brian is working harder then ever with his hatchet, war bow, and his war lance he makes to get meat for the winter. When Brian is attacked by a cow moose and broke some ribs he is wondering how he will keep on getting ready for the winter. Another major event that occurs is Brian's camp is ransacked by a bear and when Brian kicks the bear in the rear the bear knocks him aside like a bowling pin. Gary Paulsen like all his other books uses many details and you can form a very vivid picture in your mind, it really makes you focus on what is happening in the book and you will not want to put it down. The main plot of the book is Brian adapted to the way you had to live and what to wear in order to survive and to not starve in the Northern winter. He survived this because he figured out how to fit in with nature and live like the Native Americans lived. This worked for him because he figured out how to hunt larger game and he figured out how to store fish and food. The only thing I didn't like is how the story ended so abruptly.

4: Brian's Winter
Brian's winter is a tale of struggle through hardships and faith that no matter what happens if you have a goal and perservere you will eventually succeed. Brian is a kid who gets stuck in the middle of the wilderness deep in Canada with nothing but the clothes on his back and a hatchet that his mom gave him before he left on the fateful plane ride. This book tells about him trying to adapt and survive in the harsh winter climate. My favorite part of the book was when Brian tried to take down a huge moose. The one thing that I did not like was when he finally got rescued at the end. I thought that it was too abrupt, he heard a gunshot and then after finding the source was saved by a trapping family living a few miles away. I really liked how the author would go in depth to give you all the details so that you had a vivid picture in your mind. Overall I would rate this book a four out of five and I would encourage anyone to read it.

5: My Review
I think that it was a very adventurous and exiting. He put alot of detail in it that helped me understand it alot better. My favorite part of the book is when he shoots the moose, and then the moose comes and attacks Brian. Gary Paulsen is a very good author, and I think that he should keep writing more books.
