Teenager Brian Robeson was travelli

Teenager Brian Robeson was travelling from the USA to Canada to see his father. He was the only passenger in a small plane high above the Canadian mountains, when suddenly the pilor had a heart attack and died!
Brian was terrified. He was shaking, but he tried not to panic. Below him, he could see a lake. He turned the plane towards the lake and, incredibly, he landed on the water. Brian got out of the plane just before it sank. He swam to the beach and then he fell asleep, exhausted.
When Brian woke up the next morning, he was cold and hungry. The quiet boy from New York only had the clothes he was wearing and a small hatchet (a present from his mother). Then he remembered a TV programme about how to survive in the wild. He made a shelter with grass and some branches from the trees. He used his hatchet to cut wood and start a fire. He ate fruit from the forest. He made a spear to catch fish in the lake, and he made a bow and arrow to kill rabbits and birds.
