Publisher Description

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 Read all the Hatchet Adventures! Brian's Winter The River Brian's Return Brian's Hunt

"I would describe this book as adventurus and action packed. I like this book because it is about Brian and a dog and well i cant tell you because i would tell you why the title is Brian's Hunt. Gary paulsen wrote the book hatchet and like three other books that continue the adventure of surviving in the woods. I have read all of Gary Paulsen's books that contain the character Brian. The story behind the dog is that brian finds the dog while he is going to visit his friends that rescued him a year or two ago when he was in the woods with a reporter. I really liked this book i would rate it a 5 star book it is really a good book."

    " This was good but also frightening since what happens in the book is based on a real bear attack. "

    " I read this book with my son and his reading book at school. The boys loved and I thought it was a little different but I enjoyed it. I need to go back and read the other books in the series and then I think it will make more sense to me. "

    " After reading Hatchet and Brain's Winter, probably skipping between books in this series of stories, Brain's Hunt is probably one of my favorite of all of them. I really liked how Brain has changed over all the books in the series, he went from a city boy who could imagine no other life but, to somebody so in tune with nature that he doesn't feel the need to have to talk to himself. Although it was really good, I also thought it was pretty short. I think that the story felt rushed, it was very straight forward, no real mystery, I think the lack of Brain speaking took away from any real mystery that could have happened. The plot felt predictable, you could tell exactly what would happen. There are some unexpected turns that did make the book interesting, but overall, it was pretty average. "

    " I think this book has a lot of adventure points in the book. It is great to read bcause he is trying to survive in a swamy, wet, fogy forest. It is mostly telling us how it is when you get lost in the woods. I think it is cool to hunt but I would like to be better at hunting. "

    " This book is about a kid named Brian. You may know this character from Hatchet. In this edition out of many Brian is exploring some of the only left frontier left in North America. He has learned many things from Tribes he has encountered on the way. "

    " This is a good book for people who like hunting. This book is about hunting and killing to live. Brian was on a plane and it crashed. Brian got stuck in the woods. The rest of the book is about him trying to take care of himself like finding food and shelter. "

    " pretty decent - he has a dog with him in this book, which I liked, but it is pretty depressing what with all the gruesome death in it. He spends most of the book on a canoe on the river, and I like Brian better in forest contexts, so that may explain why this wasn't one of my favorites. "

    " Audio book on our trip. It kept us awake. Very exciting, graphic adventure in surviving in nature. Paulsen thought he would quit with Hatchet but the demand was too strong. He knows so much about adventures in the wild, (a foreign territory for me). Great book to interest husband too. "
