Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I would consider this as a very engaging book as it held my attention throughout the entire novel and I was very curious and tempted to know what happens next as the book progresses. Although the novel is fiction however, it closely relates to our real life as if bringing the audience into the situation. I have also noticed that many of the diction Paulsen has chosen relates to the theme and is fairly easy to understand. The story is also quite modern.
