hatchet is a very great book for 5th -8th graders. it is about a kid that went on a plane to see his dad and while on the flight the pilot had a heart attach . brain was only 13 years and and had to lean how to survive this rough path in his life and he went through many challenges throughout the adventure trying to save his life. I give the book a 4-5 stars and definitely recommend you trying it out if you like a little Adrenalin in your blood .
