Brian sets off to visit a trapper family he met in Brian’s Winter. Personally, I was most captivated by the knowledge of Brian, and all that he explained about living in the wilderness.Īs for the story itself, I think of this like a combination of The Hatchet and The River. Young readers will delight in Brian’s return to the wilderness. Of course, being an adult, the story felt a little too short, but keeping in mind that this book wasn’t made for an old fuddy-duddy like myself, I felt was a good fit. The writing sounds the same, as does young Brian. Paulsen had kept the integrity of the character. Here are my thoughts on the series thus far… Anyway, with all that being said, I lost track of time and once again I went researching Gary Paulsen and discovered he’d written more Brian adventures. Which, is invariably, how fans came to have Brian’s Winter. Paulsen to write an alternative to The Hatchet’s ending. Naturally I knew about The River, but not that fans had badgered Mr. So with the power of the internet, I was able to discover, much to my surprise, that Gary Paulsen hadn’t been idle with his young character, Brian. I started re-visiting classics that were popular when I was a child. One that I would come back to and read occasionally as I got older. It was about 20 years ago in school that my teacher read to us The Hatchet.
