11. The River, by Gary Paulsen

Book 2 of the Brian Robeson Series.
In this book, Brian takes a psychologist into the wilderness to show him how he survived, in order to benefit survival programs. After abandoning most of their gear, things get tough after a brutal storm shorts their radio.

This one was in a very similar vein to the first book, and made me feel very similar things. Brian's character develops more, and you can see him further adjusting to life as a creature of the forest and less as a creature of humanity. I'm not sure whether you can say either one is a 'better' way to live.
