These
words, spoken to Brian Robeson, will change his life. Two years earlier, Brian
was stranded alone in the wilderness for 54 days with nothing but a small
hatchet. Yet he survived.
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 a hundred miles downstream to a trading post--if the map he has is accurate.

It is always fun to caught up in reading sequels of books. It makes the main character almost a real person, because as a reader, you constantly want to know what is going to happen next. As soon as you are done, you want to read the next book in the series.This book is both boy and girl friendly and full of adventure. It does a very good job at putting the reader in the setting and making them feel a part of it. I definitely want to read more books by Gary Paulsen.
