Synopsis

Brian sets out on the hunt of a lifetime in this follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen!
 
Brian Robeson has stood up to the challenge of surviving the wilderness in Hatchet, The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return. Now, while camping alone on a lake in the woods, he finds a wounded and whimpering dog. As Brian treats her wounds, he worries about who or what did this to her. His instincts tell him to head north, quickly, to check on his Cree friends. With his new companion at his side, he sets out on the hunt.
 
Gary Paulsen expertly delivers a riveting story that brilliantly combines two of his great themes: the human animal's place in nature, and the mysterious and wonderful bond between humans and dogs.

“The Brian books reveal nature and humankind’s place in it with spare prose that seems ideally suited to the setting and plot.” —VOYA
 
“Based on real incidents, this well-written sequel to Hatchet and its successors will be gobbled up by the author’s legions of fans.” —Kirkus Reviews

Goodreads review by Simon on January 07, 2014

Concluding the events that began with a plane crash and fight for survival, Gary Paulsen went out with a crazy blow. Brian was a young kid when he was forced to survive alone in the wildness of Canada four books back, but now in this last installment of his life, he is a much older youth. He even has......more

Goodreads review by Jim on December 27, 2023

Well, that was a fast read; I read it all in just about one sitting! This is the fifth book in Brian's Saga by Gary Paulsen ( 1939-2021), published in 2003. Yes, it's a Young Adult book and, ideally, it's for middle school readers (young teens). But I like the character of Brian and the first book......more
