Brian's Return is a 1999 wilderness survival novel by Gary Paulsen and the fourth in the Hatchet series.
It was also released as Hatchet: The Call by Macmillan Children's Books in the UK on January 8, 1999. This was originally supposed to be the final Hatchet book in the series, but due to hundreds of requests from readers, Paulsen, in response, published Brian's Hunt in 2003 as a follow-up.
Plot
Brian struggles to fit into urban society and is sent to see a psychologist, a blind ex-police officer named Caleb. Caleb recognizes that Brian's home is the wilderness. Brian returns to the Canadian wilderness at Caleb's suggestion, knowing that it is where his heart truly belongs.[1]
