This is a story of personal tragedy and achievement. Hatchet is the story of thirteen-year old Brian Robeson's ordeal in the rugged Canadian North Country. While enroute to visit his father, the pilot of the single engine plane in which he is flying, suffers a heart attack and Brian successfully crash lands the plane in a remote northern lake. With only a hatchet, the clothes he is wearing and his incredibly strong will to live, Brian was able to survive his adventure in the wilderness for fifty-four days.
