Summary

A thirteen-year-old Brian from New York City goes to visit his dad in
from Hampton. He is flying in a cockpit with a pilot. Soon the pilot
dies due to a heart attack. The plane crashed into a lake in the
woods, where Brian is stranded.

Brian finds strange berries to eat, which made him sick. After that
he constructed a shelter. Brian also learned how to make fire with
his hatchet. One day a plane flies above him, but they don’t see
Brian. Brian then attempted to commit suicide, but he failed.

Brian caught a bird, his first meat, but a moose attacks Brian,
injuring his ribs and his shoulder. Another unfortunate incident soon
follows when a tornado sweeps over the woods and destroys
Brian's shelter. The next day Brian discovers that the plane had
emerged from the lake. Now Brian could go and get the survival
pack from the plane.

Brian opens the survival pack, which contains countless useful

items, for an example there was freeze-dried food, which he
immediately decided to cook. He also found something labelled
“Emergency Transmitter”. He tried to use it, but it didn't seem to
work. As Brian was preparing his meal, a plane lands on the lake to
rescue Brian.
