Alas, Poor DS has read Hatchet several times, once on his own in 2nd and perhaps 2 or 3 times more as required by school in subsequent grades. I think he liked it at first, but it's gotten a little old.
He read the My Side of the Mountain book back in 3rd and we would highly recommend it and all it's sequels.
His true love is wolves and he has read tons of wolf books, including the technical stuff, and he's turned into a groupie of the 3 main wolf biologists working on wolf management in our state!
