My favorite book is "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, where a kid about my age ends up stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash. The book was fun to read because it was a lot like the survivor shows on tv, but the main character wasn't a trained professional.
Another reason I liked the book was because it was pretty realistic, even though it wasn't based on a true story. Most books like this are unrealistic and everything goes their way and they have some kind of house in the woods and they get found without doing anything. In this book it is the story of how the kid has to struggle for his life and work hard just to have a meal everyday.
I remember when I read that book. I personally didn't like it, but I can see how other people might like it.
