This Newbery Winner was one of my absolute favorite books from my childhood. It’s an exhilarating novel about a boy named, Brian Robeson, who experiences everyone’s worst fears, a plane crash being completely alone in the middle of nowhere with nothing except a hatchet to keep him alive. The novel is an excellent read. This was the first book that instilled some fear and imagination of me.
