In this book Brian endures many animals such as a skunk who he becomes very fond of her and names her Betty he also comes to face with wolves, deer, and the most dangerous one of them all a moose which attacked him during his hunt. Brian uses his knowledge of the wilderness to survive. He also uses his memories too help design bows, arrows, and even arrowheads. He got used too living in the wilderness so he worked on new hunting techniques. He also learned how too make his shelter more secure by packing the walls with mud making it water tight and nearly air tight. ( )

To me, I think this book came across as confusion and with having a class of students with special needs, my goal would be to have reading simple and easy. So, because of that, I am not sure if I would introduce this book to my students because it does not necessarily follow up with what they had just read in 'Hatchet'. I think that this book may be interesting for advanced readers however. ( )

In this sequal to Hatchet, Paulsen writes this book to what if Brian had not been rescued in the summer and was forced to spend an entire winter alone in the wilderness with only his hatchet. Brian quickly learns how to survive. He even is forced to crawl inside an animals carcase to stay warm. This book takes adventure and survial to a new level

Adventure lovers will love Brian's Winter. Lots of graphic (and gory) details regarding survival in the wilderness. Brian rides a deer in a VERY unusual way. I appreciated the appreciation for the beautiful wilderness that the author (Paulsen) gifted his main character with. I would recommend this book to kids in middle school and older. ( )

Fall came on with a softness, so that Brian didn't realize what was in store--a hard-spined north woods winter--until it was nearly too late.
