Gary Paulsen was one of America's most acclaimed authors of young adult literature, honored with three Newbery Honor awards for his gripping tales of survival. His own difficult childhood and profound love for the wilderness provided the raw, authentic foundation for his stories. Paulsen's life was a series of adventures, from running the Iditarod sled dog race to sailing the Pacific, experiences that infused his writing with unparalleled realism and a deep respect for nature's power, as seen in the world of Woods Runner.
