A note for parents

Brian's Hunt is a survival adventure that builds tension around a mystery involving a wounded dog and Brian's Cree friends, with some hunting and animal conflict scenes. The book emphasizes self-reliance, empathy for animals, and cross-cultural friendship. While there is mild violence related to hunting and wilderness survival, it is not graphic and is appropriate for middle-grade readers familiar with the Hatchet series.

Millions of readers of Hatchet, The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return know that Brian Robeson is at home in the Canadian wilderness. He has stood up to the challenge of surviving alone in the woods. He prefers being on his own in the natural world to civilization. When Brian finds a dog one night, a dog that is wounded and whimpering, he senses danger. The dog is badly hurt, and as Brian cares for it, he worries about his Cree friends who live north of his camp. His instincts tell him to head north, quickly. With his new companion at his side, and with a terrible, growing sense of unease, he sets out to learn what happened. He sets out on the hunt.From the Hardcover edition.
