The River (A Hatchet Adventure)
Overview & Summary
Two years after his ordeal alone in the Canadian wilderness, Brian Robeson is asked by government researchers to return to the site of his survival -- this time accompanied by a psychologist -- to help them understand what he learned, but when a lightning strike leaves his companion unconscious, Brian must once again rely on his wilderness skills, this time building a raft to get them both to help. Gary Paulsen's sequel to Hatchet returns to the survival-adventure territory that made the original a classic.
