Summary
Continue with the first book of the series, Brain had returned home and everything is back to normal. Few months later, three men came to his house and asked Brain to go to woods and live the experience again, so they can learn the survival skills. With Brain's parents permission, Brain and one of the man, Derek, take off to the Canadian wilderness for this experiment trip. At the beginning, everything feels wrong to Brian because it is missing some tensions. Also, a radio is available for them to call for help, if needed. Everything is so smooth until the night of thunder. Derek became a coma, and the radio is broken. Derek is still alive, but he cannot survival without water. The only chance Brain has is to travel one hundred miles to find help.

Review
I think this book is not as good as the book one of the series, Hatchet. I think this is because this book doesn't have as many tensions as I expected. It is still a great book. This series is a series that I really want to continue to read the next book and finish the series. I feel like I'm in the place when Brian is. The 'what if' question keep popping while reading the book. A remarkable title.
