Brian's Return
Brian Robeson survived alone in the wilderness by finding solutions to extraordinary challenges. But now that's he's back in civilisation, he can't find a way to make sense of high school life. He feels disconnected, more isolated than he did alone in the North. The only answer is to return – to "go back in" – for only in the wilderness can Brian discover his true path in life, and where he belongs.

This series should be read in order.
Brian Robeson, sole passenger on a Cessna 406, is on his way to visit his father when the tiny bush plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. With nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present, Brian finds himself completely alone.
Challenged by his fear and despair – and plagued with the weight of a dreadful secret he's been keeping since his parent's divorce – Brian must tame his inner demons in order to survive. It will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed.
