While 13-year-old Brian is going to visit his father in Canada, the small plane he is flying in crashes in the Canadian wilderness. He is alone and unprepared to live in the wilderness, but he has one asset: his hatchet. How will Brian survive?
Helen Keller visited Canada twice, once in 1901 and again in 1957. Helen loved to be outdoors, and once said, "To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug." |
