Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-9-Gary Paulsen explains in the afterword of Brian's Hunt (Random, 2003) that although he said he would not write another book about Brian Robeson, he decided to because he has gotten so much mail encouraging him to continue the story. The fifth story about Brian, now 16, takes place two years after he had been stranded in the Canadian wilderness as the result of a plane crash. Brian is unable to adjust to living back in civilization and arranges to home school himself in the Canadian north woods. As he begins his new life, he encounters a wounded dog that appears to be domesticated. He starts to get a gut feeling that the dog may have come from a Cree camp in the north where friends of his live. After attending to the dog's wounds, he decides to head toward the camp only to find that the residents have experienced a savage bear attack. The theme of respecting the power of nature resonates throughout this brief book. The story is filled with practical information about surviving in the wilderness that will delight listeners who hunt and camp. Young adults will relate to the relationship between Brian and the dog, along with the hint of a possible future romance with Susan, a young Cree woman. Ron McLarty does an ample job reading in a simple, even manner, allowing the story to build toward its suspenseful conclusion. Readers who have read Hatchet (Bradbury, 1987) will get the most from this story, although some background information on Brian's previous adventures is provided. Brian's Hunt will be appreciated by Paulsen fans, but it will only whet their appetites for more.

From AudioFile

Just when you thought Brian's adventures were finished, Paulsen gives his readers one more tale in the Canadian wilderness. Most of the story is written as Brian's thoughts, and Ron McLarty does a pleasing job narrating Brian's haunting and reflective inner voice. This type of narration is difficult, yet his tone is just right, and when Brian does speak, his narration changes suitably. In this tale, Brian returns to the wilderness after becoming disenchanted with the civilized world. At the end of the book, Paulsen explains that this book was written in response to the many letters he received asking for more Brian stories. BRIAN'S HUNT tells of the main character's quest for his place in the world and his connection to Mother Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nykolas Connors review, May 13 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Brian's Hunt (Hardcover)
I think that the book Brian's hunt was one of the best books that I have ever written. The book just kept me wanting to read. My teacher read it out loud but it felt like I was there with him this time. This book was the best book of 2004 that I have ever read. I think that I would not write so much stuff. It didn't end like I was thinking. It was the better then what I thought it would of ended. I loved the book from began to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lone camping trip results in a wounded dog's appearance, April 6 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Brian's Hunt is the sequel to Gary Paulsen's Hatchet and continues stories about a boy named Brian and his wilderness skills. Brian's Hunt brings Brian back to the wilderness where a lone camping trip results in a wounded dog's appearance. As Brian cares for her, he faces the dual challenges of helping her and his Cree native friends in this moving story of courage.

5.0 out of 5 stars difference, Feb 12 2004
By Devin Hamilton (Garden City, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brian's Hunt (Hardcover)
This a good read. Though it is shorter than most of Paulsen's work, it is good. I didn't like the changes though. Like he brought more books than what The List in Brian's Return said, freeze dried food, the three pairs of moccasins, the monoculars, and the barbed fish tips for his arrows. Plus it didn't mention Caleb, after all he wouldn't be there without him. And it didn't mention his medicine or Billy. It was written in a different in a different way than the other Brian books. If you have read the other Brian books you will see a different writing style. It might be because Brian is finally in a hurry to get somewhere, but The River isn't written in this way. Overall I liked it and will continue reading Paulsen's work.I have been reading for more than seven years and liking his work. I have never and probably never find a Paulsen book I don't like.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
This is one of my favorite Gary Paulsen books. I really enjoyed the twist of Brian finding a friend in this book, instead of being all alone. Read more
