Listened to an Audio Book
Earlier I had heard of a book for young teens titled "Hatchet. I ordered it from our State travelling library service and what they sent was the audio version instead of a printed copy.
Saturday morning while doing breakfast we started the book and found it to be something we could have recommended to our grandkids if they weren't all grown up. It's only a 3 disc book so I'm guessing the printed version is probably un the 250-300 page range. The story is about a 13 year old boy who is going from mother to father in the north country for the summer (divorced parents). The pilot has a heart attack and the boy survives the crash landing. Since the plane crashes into a lake, the only thing the boy salvages are useless things in his pockets and a hatchet which was a going away present from his mother which is on his belt. A bit of a stretch at times but in trying to keep things simple it works out pretty well in the story line. Kids would really like it. |
