December 01, 2009: Brian is a boy who goes on a plane to visit his dad. His mom is secretly dating. He gets trapped in the Canadian wilderness. He also gets hit by a moose!!!
Brian's mom is secretly dating a man with blonde hair. When she takes Brian to the airport she gives him a hatchet that comes in handy for Brian later in the story. She and Brian's father are divorced.A boy named Brian is in a plane when suddenly the pilot had a heart attack! Brian had to take control of the plane, he crash landed into the water! He was stuck in the Canadian wilderness alone. Millions of miles from home. Alone.This story takes place in the Canadian wilderness in the present. The meaning of this story is that you need to have hope and confidence in order to survive tough conditions.I LOVED the story it is the best book I've ever read! The reason why is there was so much action and suspense.- One way I connected to the book is that Brian's parents are divorced and so are mine.- Another way I can connect is through the world. I have been camping several times and I have made many campfires. Names of books related:1. Call of the Wild2. White FangI Also Recommend: The Call of the Wild.
