I thought that the nineth chapter was very exciting in the last chapter it said the hachet made sparks in this chapter the fire was big.He also would cook to eat and stay alive .

I just read chapter 9. This chapter is very exciting.In this chatper Brian found how to make a fire.I think Brian is going to use the fire to make a signal,and to not be sting by mosquitoes,and to keep the animals away.

I really like the book so far, how about you? How do you think you would feel if you were Brian? I would be scared to death! Especially when he came up to the bears and wolves. I can't imagine it. When he ae the turtle eggs I about got sick.IT WAS DISGUSTING!!

We've read to the 13th chapter and so far it's okay but the part about when he tried to kill himself. Who ever said his finger nail fell off that's not true.

Dear Alexis,
I think you need to read some of the chapters again because nowhere in the book it said Brian's fingernails came off. I think Hatchet is a very good book and really exiting.

Dear Zach,
I agree with you about what Lauren said.She should think about how it would be if you were stranded and all you had to eat was berries.

I have read some of the other comments and someone said that his fingernails fell off. That is so not true. My class and I have read chapters 1-13, and I have never read that in the book.Do you think he will kill the wolf or just keep killing fish?

I think the book Hatchet is a real good book. Chapter eight is the best chapter I think. I like the part when Brian made his fire. That is the best part so far.

This book has gotten a little better but still I don't really like it.It's sort of hard to understand. It only talks about Brian.If it wouldn't always talk about the same person, I would like it a little better.Can you understand this book?

Dom I think you are right that Mike H guy is way wrong. Brian's fingernails did not fall off and that one kid that said they hate the book, I have bad news for them. Hatchet is a very good book!

This book is good.I like it when he sees the bears and wolves.It is neat when he catches the fish. Will another plane come by?

HIS NAILS DON'T FALL OFF ! Everyone I have a question. Does he meet a wolf? Does he kill a wolf? I have another question. Does he survive?

Dom, I think that you are right. Mike's wrong about Brians fingernails falling off. I think it is a pretty good book myself, and also its pretty interesting!Does Brian ever get back home? Does the wolf halp Brian through bad times?I think Hatchet is a very good book!

I think this book is really good. I dont remember when his finger nails came off our if they did come off.

I just LOVE this book. I like this book because it is just so full of life. It's amazing that a 13 year old boy can take care of himself that well. I would have freaked out if a bear or a wolf pack was standing in front of me.I do have one question. Why doesn't it ever mention Brian taking a bath? Someone please write back!!!

Yo, Cassandra,how ya doing? Brian had the string too tight-- that's the reason the bow broke.

How are you ? I'm fine however, we have to talk about the book. I have really enjoyed this book. Our class is on chapter 13th . I really couldn't imagine being in the wilderness alone. Hatchet is one of the most creative books I have ever read. What about you? Have you ever had an experence where you were stranded ? I have. Except I was in the mall. I will never forget that day. Lets go back to the book because I have some questions for you.My first question is what is your favirote part in the book? Did you get sick when Brian ate the turtle eggs? I can eat eggs but not raw. While I was looking at some of the comments I could not believe some of the things kids were saying. Have you seen it? Well no matter what they say I really have enjoyed the book. Well I have to go so bye.

Dom,
I agree. I don't remember when Brian's fingernails came off. I think the book is good and exiting. Write back soon.

Dear Lauren,I think that if you were all by yourself you would eat raw eggs.By the way, what chapter are you on?But you are right in a way. He could have put the eggs over the fire.I have not heard about when his finger nails come off.I hope you enjoy the rest of the book!

I have read chapter 1-13. It is an interesting book.I think that Brian is very smart. If I was in his place I would have been very afraid of the bear. I would have run. I would not be alive in forty-seven days. In chapter nine his nails did not come off. Do you like the book so far?

Mike H you need to read the book over. His fingernails DID NOT fall off!I think the book is very good. I think the way the author repeated the words was neat.Our class likes the book.Do you think it was digusting when he ate turtle eggs? I do.

Hey it's Beth and Erica. We think this book is a good book. We
are on the 13th chapter.I think it was a good idea to build
a bow and arrow to kill the fish with.Do you like this book so far?

ThE BoOk IS OK SO FAR. BRIAN'S LIFE WILL CHANGE NOW THAT HE HAS FIRE BECAUSE, HE COULD KEEP ANIMALS AND MOSQUITOES AWAY FROM HIS SHELTER, COOK FISH AND ANIMALS, BOIL WATER, STAY WARM AND MAKE A SIGNAL FOR HELP.

Hi, I really like this book so far.When Brian ate those turtle eggs that was sick.Brian stayed in the wilderness for 47 days. That's a long time staying in the wilderness.When Brian saw the wolves he nodded at the wolves.When Brian saw the bear he got scared.Brian tried to kill his with his hachet.When Brian woke up he had changed.That was cool when he caught that fish with his bow and arrow that he built by himself.I think Brian is a brave person.When Brian made the fire with his hachet.When that porcupine stuck it's quills in Brian's leg.If I was Brian I would have killed the porcupine with my hachet.This book is a wonderful book.do you. I hope you like this book to. Well, I do.
SEE YA

Dear Lauren,
I do not think that Brian was groose when he ate the eggs because he was tiered of berries.If you were stranded wouldnt you eat anything.

Oh my gosh what kind of book is this I mean turtle eggs. Who eats turtle eggs and I mean I would flat out barf even drinking that dirty water, eating turle eggs, and those berries (gut cherries) barf, barf, barf. I'm getting sick thinking about it. Who in their right mind would spend forever and a day collecting fire wood. REALLY! THIS KID NEEDS TO GET A LIFE!
