    Is Hatchet the one where the kid survives a plane crash or the one where the kid just decides to go live in the woods with a falcon? I read both of those books at about the same time in my life and they kinda blended into one story in my head.

    I have to keep reminding myself that there wasn’t a book about a kid who survived a plane crash and then learned to survive in a little house he made in a tree with a falcon he tamed. There’s the plane crash survival book, and the kid just decided to go live in the woods book, and the former contains a lot more lists of what he ate than you probably remember.

      Hatchet is the plane crash. The other is “my side of the mountain”.

      Lots of gut cherry references in hatchet, and one instance of profanity as I recall.
