This book goes after the thrilling book of Brian's return, he is in search of the Cree trapping family by going on another adventure alone by himself and ends up having a dog companion and finds a tragic accident near the end and takes down a bear! ( )Brian's Hunt was mainly about this kid "Brian" who lived out on his own in the wilderness. He didn't have anyone or anything to comfort him. Until one day he finds a injured dog, he isn't sure where it came from and what happened to it. Brian stitches the dog up and the dog heals. Brian is well prepared, he has fishing line, a bow and alot of arrows, different tips for different game, a canoe which comes handy and is a very important through Brians Traveling. Brian has to overcome several tasks and obstacles threw the book, such as fighting a bear and finding his old friends who had always camped out near to him. Overall Brians Hunt was a very good book there wasn't really anything bad about the book except that it was a little short and slow. The book was very realistic, it had very good detail, the author knew a lot on what he was writing about. I would recommend this book to most everyone but the people who would appreciate it the most would be the outdoors men. It is a good book for all ages it isn't kidish at all although it is a good book for kids and adults, and this isnt the only book, there is a whole series that follows after and before the book. I liked this book alot and now i look forward to reading the next book that is after Brian’s Hunt. Sixteen year old Brian finds his place in this world after his plane crashes in the wilderness of Canada. He survives on his own for 54 days with only a hatchet. When he is rescued and returned to city life, he finds that he no longer relates to modern day civilization. So he packs ups his books and his camping gear and begins his life of survival and solitude. Set in modern times, I found it hard to believe that a teenage boy would not only want to embark on this endeavor but also that his parents would realistically let him. Brian settles into the wilderness, hunting animals and fish for food with only a bow and arrow. He appreciates the quiet sounds of nature and the blackness of the night sky. The first half of the story reads more like a survival guide to the wilderness than an adventures story, but the plot picks up when he encounters a stray, injured dog. Brian is curious as to how the dog was injured and follows the clues to find a ransacked cabin full of tragedy. The writing style and mature theme lend itself to middle and high school readers. YA, fiction, wilderness This book is about survival. I would recommend this book to others becuase if you ever get lost and you need food to survive, you would need to hunt. That is what this book is all about. 0.089 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0553494155, Mass Market Paperback)The multitudes of Gary Paulsen fans (or more accurately, Brian fans) will be thrilled to find that the author has penned yet another story about Brian Robeson. Although Paulsen once claimed that he would "write no more about Brian," he seems to have been softened by the "staggering amounts of mail from readers" begging for more about the teen who is more at home alone in the wilderness than in the hustle and bustle of city life. In Brian’s Hunt, the 16-year-old returns to the remote woods and lakes of Canada, where he encounters a mysteriously injured dog. His experiences two years earlier, after surviving a plane crash and months alone with only a hatchet to protect and provide for himself (Hatchet, Brian’s Winter, etc.), have prepared him well to survive now. But can anything prime him for the horror that awaits him on an island campsite where he intends to meet his Cree friends?This short episode is rife with the kind of gritty--even gruesome--details readers have come to expect from the Newbery Honor author. In an afterword, Paulsen reminds readers that he bases his stories on personal experiences and his extensive knowledge of the wild side of nature. Confidential to avid fans: an intimation of romance amid all the rugged drama hints that this will not be the last Brian book, either.
