The What If Sequel

The sequel to Hatchet, Brian's Winter, is basically the same story except Brian never gets rescued. He would have to stay for the winter, the biggest challenge that awaits him. Yes, not big Grizzly Bears or another world war. This survival story was probably made from research on the climate, geography, vegetation, and the fauna of the region (southern Nunavut). This sequel is basically a What If type of book. It can be compared with a book like The Philosophers, which tells about important times in history and groups philosophers argue about the historical outcome or the impact on the future. So, the book was probably made by minor experimentation and exact research.
