Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
Brian Robeson is a 17 year-old boy who is dealing with divorced parents, and what makes matters worse is that he is left in the wilderness alone. As he goes on a trip to see his father, the pilot flying the plane has a heart attack, and Brian doesn’t know how to fly a plane. He tries to, but his tries are unsuccessful. He finds a pond big enough to land and crash the plane. He goes down at tremendous speed and he lands right in the pond. He finds himself with minor injuries and as he looks around, he finds himself alone in the wilderness. He faces hardships he would never imagine. Those who like adventure and love suspense and horror would like this book.
