small airplane pilot crashes on an island off of (?Canada maybe) and uses the pieces of his airplane to build a shelter and tries to survive. May have had a dog or made friends with a wolf...I read this in 6th grade, over 30 years ago, so I don't know how old it was at that time. All I remember it was a really well written book and a good story of survival suited for a younger person, detailed but not gory...I should remember it as I read it so many times, but.....Thanks for any ideas or suggestions as to what it might be!

No, it wasn't Call of the Wild

Hatchet isn't it either--in Hatchet, he can't make sense of the city so he goes back to find himself in the wilderness where he was once stranded when he was a boy. In the book I am looking for, it is an adult who is stranded on an island and the book ends when he is rescued

I know this story. I read it in school too, just a few years ago.
It is called Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It is a timeless classic.
Enjoy.
Edit: No. It is Hatchet where he has to crash land the plane because the pilot has a heart attack.He has to survive in the wild with only a hatchet before he is rescued months later.
The second story you mentioned that you thought was Hatchet is really called Brian's Return by Gary Paulsen, a sequel to the book Hatchet.

Sounds like"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen. Story about Brian Robeson
who is going to Canada to visit his divorced dad. Sequel to this book called "Brian's Return" was also written.

feels like Hurry Up, Slowpoke by potential of Crosby Newell little mouse who has a tendency to get distracted and take an prolonged time doing issues, which drives his bossy sister loopy. Then at some point, he's distracted by potential of a butterfly (i think of) on an analogous time as following his mom and sister, and he loses his way. in simple terms whilst he's approximately to renounce and he's beginning up to sense undesirable approximately himself, he comes up with a ingenious answer and arrives on the holiday spot (his grandmother's abode) first
