We are reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Thematically relevant to our Lewis and Clark studies, the modern-day hero (Brian) is lost in the Canadian wilderness (fortunately not in the winter, or it might not be a survival story) after a plane crash with a single tool and must survive on his own.
Here's a very good school site loaded with questions and study guides about the book.
PS Have we mentioned lately the terrific Southside branch of the Santa Fe library? Visit and plan to spend some time.
