Brian's Return

De: Gary Paulsen

Narrado por: Peter Coyote

Brian returns to the wilderness to discover where he truly belongs in this follow-up to the award-winning classic Hatchet from three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Gary Paulsen!

As millions of readers of Hatchet, The River, and Brian's Winter know, Brian Robeson survived alone in the wilderness by finding solutions to extraordinary challenges. But now that's he's back to ordinary life, he can't make sense of high school life. He feels disconnected, more isolated than he did alone in the north woods. How can Brian discover his true path in life, and where he belongs? The answer is to return.

Gay Paulsen skillfully explores the meaning of belonging and purpose, and reminds us of a crucial rule of the wilderness: expect the unexpected.

“Bold, confident and persuasive.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred

“Paulsen bases many of his protagonist’s experiences on his own, and the wilderness through which Brian moves is vividly observed.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred

Favorite entry in the series

I so enjoy Gary Paulsen's writing and peter coyotes performance of this audiobook is great as usual.

Love the book

I love this book it reminds me of when I used to live in the woods

what an ending to the seeies!

I still feel like I want to hear more about Brian's experiences in the forest but I can understand that this is a decent place to end the series

He didn’t make it to the Cree family. Storywise.Also his background at the end.

Another of my favorites by Gary Paulsen. Worth a listen or read if you have time and have read Hatchet and or Brian’s Winter.

Thank you, Mr. Paulsen

The level of detail and love put into this book is superb. the Narrator captures the voices perfectly.

Just as good today as when I was growing up

Downloaded the hatchet series to introduce my kids to the books I grew up with and once I started listening I found myself drawn back in just like I was has a preteen.

Where the soul is.

Another great addition to Brian's story, I recommend reading them in order. This one is not my favorite, but still a contender for a great book for young boys and adults alike. I actually liked Brian's Winter the best so far. This book led me to believe it was the last in the series, but I believe there is one more after it, I hope so anyway since I bought it. Maybe I just have the order mixed up. Narrator does a good job, but the music is a bit loud at first overrides some of the reading.

Great closure for the series

This brings a good ending to tbe Hatchet Series, although Brian's Hunt keeps it going a bit longer. Absolutely loved the whole series. Listened to Hatchet just to relive reading it with my sons and never planned to so the other books, but I got hooked.

Must-read

Extremely good book recommend for all ages. packed with excitement adventure and a lot of danger.

Can't get enough of Gary Paulson

Yet, another fantastic story of Brian. I can't seem to get enough of Paulson's stories.
