The protagonist of the book is Brian. He is a 13 year old who is haaving a hard time with his parents divorce "The Secret"
He's a strong boy who never gives up no matter how bad the situation is

The antagonist of the book is nature itself which gives Brian a hard time but in the same time makes him realize alot of things about himself. It also gives him many issues to handle such as : food, shelter, self-defence which he masters in a short amount of time.
My opinion
This is one of the best books I've ever read and the whole message of the book is to never give up and always to be positive and give the best that you got, no matter how bad the situation is.
Rating
From the scales of onw through ten I think the lowest this book can get is 9/10. Because even though the story, the character and everything else is incredible, there are a few pages that you can't relate to, however that doesn't destroy the whole book
Simply a masterpiece 9.5/10
