Gary Paulsen has captivated readers of all ages for more than five decades. A prolific author of more than 200 books for children and adults, Paulsen was awarded the Newbery Honor for three novels: Dogsong
, Hatchet
, and The Winter Room
. Though Paulsen is primarily known for crafting adventurous or humorous fiction for young readers, his books include a wide range of genres such as nonfiction and westerns. His most recent work, Gone to the Woods
, is a powerfully honest recounting of
the turbulent early-life experiences that culminated in his extraordinary career as a beloved children’s author.
