Gary Paulsen surveys the major titles and themes of America’s top adventure writer for tweens. Entries cover the Brian and Tucket series and analyze the significance of alcoholism, coming of age, survival, war, and slavery to such bestsellers as Nightjohn, Soldier’s Heart, Woods Runner, and Hatchet. Blunt, no nonsense prose in The Rifle, The Foxman, and The Crossing and the witty escapades of Harris and Me and Zero to Sixty illustrate Paulsen’s unique range. Tender scenes in The Quilt and A Christmas Sonata attest to his empathy for children stymied by suffering.

Essential to an appreciation of Paulsen’s canon are generous citations from his writings and public appearances. A proponent of literacy and uncensored reading, the author communes one-on-one and through letters with troubled kids who have endured the neglect and despair that marred Paulsen’s early childhood. Commentary accents the importance of dogs in his life and career as an Iditarod competitor and lover of animals.
