What are some good books set in the wilderness?

Question

such as gary paulsen's the hatchet, or sign of the beaver.

Answer 1

I loved the book "Follow the river" by James Alexander Thom. It is a true story about a woman who is kidnapped by indians, how she survived, and how she lived to tell the story. She was the first white woman know to have crossed the mountains and be able to come back and tell about it. I'm not sure what age group of a book your looking for, it is rather a long book, but I couldn't put it down. Other than the fact that it is long, there is not content in the book that would not make it teenage appropriate, other than they do talk about some of the punishments the people endured, but it's not that graphic, nor is it that repulsive. I would let my teenager read it. I give it 2 thumbs up.

Answer 3

The first publication that got here to my brain used to be Hatchet, via Gary Paulsen. "It is the tale of a boy named Brian. On a go back and forth to the Canadian oilfields to spend the summer season together with his dad, the pilot of the Cessna he's touring in suffers a middle assault and dies. Brian have to land the airplane within the woodland. Brian learns to exist in on this desert. He faces many risks adding starvation, animal assaults, or even a twister. This publication offers the reader a larger know-how of what it's like to outlive in an untamed land." Hatchet additionally has a sequel referred to as Brian's Winter. It is relatively well, too. They are each effortless reads, however enjoyable! Another publication you would experience is Lord of the Flies. It's approximately a host of boys caught on an island. Classic, but additionally relatively well. A TV exhibit you would experience is Lost.
