Brian's Winter

From Gary Paulsen, the three-time Newbery Honor-winning author, comes a beloved follow-up to his award-winning classic Hatchet. This narrative explores an intriguing question: What if Brian had not been rescued and had to confront his most formidable adversary yet – the unforgiving winter?

In the Newbery Honor-winning Hatchet, readers were introduced to thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson, who learned to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness armed only with his trusty hatchet. As millions have experienced, Brian was ultimately rescued at the end of the summer. But what if that had not been the case? What if Brian had been left to face his deadliest enemy – the harsh, unyielding winter?

Paulsen masterfully raises the stakes for survival in this riveting and inspiring story, as one boy confronts the ultimate adventure. Readers are taken on a gripping journey, where they witness Brian's resolve and determination as he battles the elements in a desperate struggle for survival.

As Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, aptly states, "Paulsen picks Hatchet's story up in midstream; read together, the two books make his finest tale of survival yet." The reviewer further praises the "breathtaking descriptions of nature" that will undoubtedly captivate Paulsen's dedicated readers.

Fans of the Hatchet series will eagerly dive into this latest installment, Brian's Winter, as well as the subsequent adventures that follow: The River, Brian's Return, and Brian's Hunt. Paulsen's masterful storytelling and vivid depictions of the natural world continue to enthrall and inspire readers of all ages.
