Book 1 of the Brian Robeson Series.Hatchet (which a lot of people get set for English class) is about a boy who gets stranded in the Canadian wilderness when the pilot flying his plane dies suddenly in the air, and his battle to survive.
This book was enjoyable for its nostalgia value, as well as for the imagery and descriptive style of writing. It made me think about life as we live it, surrounded by gadgets and guns and meat packaged at the supermarket ready to pick up and eat, and how much more in tune with nature Brian's life in the wilderness is. I'd like to live like he has, for a while at least.
