Brian's Hunt

Title: Brian's Hunt

Author: Gary Paulsen

Summary: Brian is on the river, rowing towards the home of the family that rescued him after his accident two years ago. When he finds a wounded dog wandering along the riverbank, his knowledge of nature and the outdoors is put to the greatest test. Can he put the pieces together in time to save the life
of a friend?

Recommendation: Yes. This book beautifully outlines the dangers of the wild, without rancor. Brian does not react to the tragedy with anger, but rather a need to "set things right."

Hearts: 4
