Paulsen, Gary. Brian's return

Paulsen, Gary. Brian's return. Laurel-Leaf, 2001 [0-440-41379-6]
Brian gets in a fight at school and defends himself like a wild animal. He is sent to a counselor. Both Brian and the counselor realize that Brian has to return to the woods. After a major discussion with his mother he supplies himself and takes a canoe back to the woods.. absorbing himself once again in the wilderness. Will he come home. Paulsen writes at the end of this 115 page book that it is the last of the Brian books but... there are excerpts of the next book, Brian's hunt (published three years later) at the back of this book. Faithful Brian fans will love this book too.
