Brian's Hunt
Title: Brian’s Hunt
Author: Gary Paulsen
“Hook”
“The deer did not know he was there and he waited patiently, controlling his breath, waiting, waiting.
Twenty yards to the young buck, maybe less. Fifteen… Perfect. Brian drew the broadhead back until it nearly touched the bow… then released."
(Page 57)
Recommendation:
Do you like the outdoors? Because Brian does. He was lost in the wilderness for months until an airplane rescued him. Most people would wind up dead, but Brian survives and qrows to love the wilderness.This story tells about how he hunts to find food. He finds a friend, a wounded dog, and he wonders where the dog came from. The dog has a deep rip in his skin and the dog stays with him as he looks for his friends. If you like adventure, this would be a book that you'd like.
