The first book that features Brian as a character is "Hatchet". The premise of that book is that Brian is the victim of a plane crash somewhere in Canada. He is lost in the wilderness and in order to survive he learns how to hunt and fish. At the end of the book, I'm not going to tell you how, he is rescued. This book, "Brian's Winter" is based on the question, "What would have happened to Brian if he hadn't been rescued?"
I really love these books, they make me miss Minnesota and winter. If you enjoy survivalist stories, this is definitely worth a read. If you've ever had a close encounter with a moose or a bear, this is worth a read. If you like making things, this is worth a read. They're short books and they're fun. My one issue with this particular book is: after living for months in the wilderness, surviving off of mostly meat, that kid would totally have scurvy.
This is a short review, but I don't really have much to say about it. I love these books, they're easy and fun to read, and they remind me of Minnesota.
Because of the nostalgia, I felt like a couple pictures of snow would be appropriate.
