I like to think he would have enjoyed that bit, even if it came to him over the internet.Biography: Gary Paulsen is the distinguished author of many critically acclaimed books for young people, including three Newbery Honor books: The Winter Room, Hatchet, and Dogsong. There were even a couple with stories from readers about how they started sled dog racing because of him and his books. Fans shared stories of reading his books growing up, and how they shared them with their kids when that time came how he fostered a love of the outdoors for others how even more learned so much about survival, lessons they will never forget, from his stories. Gary Paulsen, from the NYT article “On the Road and Between the Pages, an Author Is Restless for Adventure”Īfter the announcement of his death, fans of his works immediately took to the internet, writing mini eulogies of their own, mourning a public figure, who was important to the childhood of so many, the way we only know how: communally.

This may seem a bit confusing at first, but because Gary Paulsen does such a good job on switching between character to. The book starts off switching between two characters from chapter to chapter. Gary Paulsen was famously of the Luddite persuasion, hating most anything technology related, although he did say TVs were at least fun to shoot.
