ALONE

Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single-engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a present — and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart since his parent's divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self pity, or despair — it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive.

For twenty years Gary Paulsen's award-winning contemporary classic has been the survival story with which all others are compared. This new edition, with a reading group guide, will introduce a new generation of readers to this page-turning, heart-stopping adventure.

My eleven year old son and I read this book together. What an extraordinary work. The protagonist is thrown into a survival mode by an unlikely set of circumstances. The narrative transforms him from a typical urban or suburban teenager whose life revolves around getting fed cheeseburgers into dealing with wolves, bears, and other wildlife in the northern Canadian wilderness. Completely and utterly gripping, and moving.
