About this Book

If he has been chased by a moose, sailed through violent ocean storms, slurped a raw turtle egg, or raced sled dogs in the Alaskan Iditarod, Gary Paulsen has written about it. In this superbly crafted biography, Edith Hope Fine unveils a life more turbulent and compelling than any storyteller could create. With some two hundred fifty books for young readers to his credit, including the phenomenally popular Hatchet, Paulsen is rapidly becoming an American legend.
