Hatchet

Hatchet is a young adult novel of unexpected wilderness survival. It’s got some time compression and coincidences for narrative compactness, and our young protagonist is perhaps a little more competent than he might really be. But he has successes and failures that feel realistic within that structure and keep the reader invested. And, you know, as an adult reader I read the thing in an evening.
