The River (Brian's Saga )

The riveting companion to "Hatchet" and "Brian's Winter". Two years earlier, Brian had been stranded alone in the wilderness for 54 days with nothing but a small hatchet. Now, the government wants him to go back into the wilderness so that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques that kept Brian alive. Soon the project backfires, though, leaving Brian with a wounded partner and a long river to navigate. His only hope is to build a raft and try to transport the injured man 100 miles downstream to a trading post--if the map he has is accurate. An IRA-CBC Children's Choice Selection. A "Parents" magazine Best Book of the Year.
