I LOVED this awesome book about surviving in the wild for about 50 day and the boy only had a hatchet to help him.

Great book.

It is a really funny book. And my favorite chapter is "Run" because, well, it's funny! Can't wait to read the next one.

I like smart because I like when he wins the jumping race and I also like when Hannah and Becky become friends, and I also like the part when they train Becky to have stormy go across some of the fences even though she is scared of the fence that has the yellow flower box she still jumps over it because becky knows that she can do it
