Dunc Breaks the Record

by Gary Paulsen

When best friends Dunc and Amos try hang gliding, they have some navigation problems and crash in the wilderness. Luckily, Amos has read the book Hatchet, about a boy who survived the same plight for 54 days. Too bad Amos doesn't have a hatchet. But worse than the dark nights and the meager food, the boys meet up with a wild man who holds them captive.
