This is one book that really scared me as a kid. After reading about Brian’s adventures in the wilderness, I was so scared that I would be lost in some deserted area that I bugged everyone I knew to help me learn ‘survival skills’. I never could convince my parents to buy me a hatchet to wear around my waist however. ( )

It's a book about surviving the wildnerness of Canada. A young boy named Brian Robeson, has survived an airplane crash (Cesnna 406) and it is up to him to do whatever he can to continue living or give up and die. Plus on top of that he has to overcome his emotions about his parents divorce. Great plot and strong character. ( )

First words
Brian Robeson stared out the window of the small plane at the endless green northern wilderness below.
Quotations
He could not play the game without hope; could not play the game without a dream. They had taken it all away from him now, they had turned away from him and there was nothing for him now. The plane gone, his family gone, all of it gone. They would not come. He was alone and there was nothing for him.

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0689826990, Paperback)

Alone

Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit his father when the single engine plane in which he is flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother has given him as a present -- and the dreadful secret that has been tearing him apart ever since his parents' divorce. But now Brian has no time for anger, self-pity, or despair -- it will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed, to survive.
