This book is about a boy named Brian. His lives in Australia. His parents had divorced and his dad had moved to Canada. He lived with his mum all the time so he decided to go and see his dad. They packed all the stuff inside the plane. His mum gave him a hatchet to put on his belt. While on their plane ride the pilot taught Brian how to fly the plane and let him fly it. Suddenly the pilot had a heart attack and died. He moved into the pilots seat and started steering. He tried to talk through the radio but there was no channel service. He decided to wait for the plane's fuel to fun out so it had less of a chance of blowing up when it crashed.
He landed in a lake in the middle of no where. The pilot and Brian were still strapped in their seat belts. He took his seat belt off and swam to the top. He left the pilot in the plane since he was already dead. He dragged himself up against a tree and a swarm of mosquitoes came to him. He hit them away. All he had was the hatchet and himself. He didn't know how to find food. He saw a pile of sticks and tried to light a fire and that didn't work for a long time. He tried one more time and he managed to get the fire started. He built him a shelter out of sticks.
The next day he found some raspberry bushes. He ate too much and he got a stomach ache. He made a bow and arrow to catch fish. It took him several tries but in the end he managed to get one. With the fish that he caught he took them to the fire he had started and cooked them. He eat them slowly because he didn't want to finish the only food he had fast. The next couple of days he found food and he ate it.
One day he was sleeping and he heard a loud roar of wind. He soon noticed that it was a tornado and held onto a tree as tight as he could. The tornado destroyed everything he had. After the tornado had passed he went to look if he could find any remains of what he had. He found his bow and arrow. He suddenly noticed the plane tail sticking out of the water and thought the tornado must have moved it. He thought that there might be a survival pack left so he made plans to get it the next day. He got the survival pack and there was food, pots, fire starters, a rifle, and a help transmitter. He set the help transmitter up.
He started cooking food and all of a sudden he saw a plane land by his shelter. A person came too save him but instead of rushing into the plane he said "would you like some food"
