In my opinion "Brian's Winter" a realistic-fiction novel by Gary Paulsen, a sequel to the first novel of the series "The Hatchet" is a very captivating story. I would recommend this novel for ages 11-14 because you will be able to make connections with the character more and you will be able to experience how is like to survive in the woods. In comparison to other books "Brian's Winter" has a lot of suspense and is action packed, you will want to keep on turning the page. "Paulsen serves up one cliffhanger after another (a marauding bear, a charging elk), and always there are the supreme challenges of obtaining food and protection against the cold."(Children's book reviews). What if you were left to survive in the woods in the winter?
p.s. You should read the first book "The Hatchet" to understand "Brian's Winter" a little better.
