Paulsen, G. (1987). Hatchet. New York: Bradbury Press.

About: This story is about a 13 year old boy named Brian who survives a plane crash and has to continue to survive on his own.  He is stranded on an Island and has to use the resources available to him to stay alive.  It is a story of bravery, survival, and smarts.
I would recommend this book for the middle school aged students.
