      I can't believe he has written this many magazine articles!
  • Born on May 17, 1939 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gary Paulsen is the prolific author of more than 40 books, 200 magazine articles and short stories, and several plays; primarily for Young Adults.
  • Paulsen's interests in books and reading came when he was a teenager and walked into a library to escape the cold of a Minnesota winter. Once inside, and much to his surprise, the librarian offered him a library card and a book to read (Something About the Author, 1995). Reading helped Paulsen cope with a difficult family situation then and remains a constant in his life today
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Since the age of 15, Paulsen has worked at many jobs in an effort to support himself: migrant worker, soldier, field engineer, truck driver, and magazine editor (Handy, 1991).
  • Paulsen used his work as a magazine editor to learn the craft of writing. In 1966, his first book was published, The Special War. Using his varied life experiences, but especially those of an outdoorsman--a hunter, trapper, and two-time competitor in the Iditarod, a 1,200 mile Alaskan dogsled race, Paulsen writes about what he knows best. This knowledge comes through clearly in the descriptive details he uses, making the reader feel part of the narrative
  • Much of Paulsen's work features outdoor settings showing the importance of water and woods to the harmony of nature. He often uses a coming of age theme, where a character masters the art of survival in isolation as a rite of passage to manhood. Ethnic groups are presented with sensitivity and understanding, giving the reader a perspective not realized previously. . .the majestic use of language, the examination of human potential, a strong sense of humor...has won Paulsen his much deserved reputation...(Lesesne, 1996, p.341).
  • Paulsen lives in La Luz, New Mexico with his wife, Ruth, an artist.

  • ByTerie Katz.
  • Could you survive in the Canadian wilderness with just your basic instincts and a hatchet? In Paulsen's book,Hatchet, the protagonist, Brian Robeson, does just that, he survives in the wilderness for 54 days by using his instincts and a hatchet, a present from his mother.
  • Brian is being flown to see his father in the Canadian wilderness for the summer after the divorce of his parents, when he is thrown into a life threatening situation when the pilot of the two-seater plane has fatal heart attack. Immediately Brian must think of how to survive by landing the plane in a lake. From this moment Paulsen takes you through the survival techniques of Brian's 54 days in the wilderness.
  • HATCHET.
  • Fast paced, suspenseful with minute detail description, Paulsen's theme of survival is evident in his description of how Brian must learn from his mistakes and to rely on nature to survive. But Brian must also learn to get over the divorce his parents just went through and not dwell on the past and his fears, for this takes away from his focus to survive. Through Paulsen's descriptions you experience Brian's first success in making a fire without matches, catching his first meat, to his disappointments when his "home" is destroyed by a tornado
  • Paulsen effectively demonstrates to his readers how Brian must learn to survive by watching, listening, overcoming his mistakes, and through sheer determination to survive. Paulsen's sub-plot of "The Secret" about Brian's mother, and the divorce of his parents is mentioned a number of times in the story but it does not bring any relevance to the main theme of Brian's survival.
  • "Paulsen's knowledge of our national wilderness is obvious and beautifully shared...YA readers will surely identify with Brian's anger at his parent's divorce...his awakening self-assurance and pride" (Wilson, February 1988, p.283).
  • "Paulsen effectively shows readers how Brian learns patience - to watch, listen, and think before he acts..." (Chatton, December 1987, p. 103).

  • During the week of June 18, veteran young-adult novelist Harry Mazer served as writer-in-residence at I.S. 145 in Jackson Heights, Queens, as part of the Foundation's Family Literacy program. During his visit, Harry met with 300 sixth graders, working with each class twice. Students received copies of his book, The Wild Kid, courtesy of Simon & Schuster Children's Books. Reading The Wild Kid in advance of Harry's visit, students and teachers loved the book, which deals with family issues relevant to their lives. As a result, they couldn't wait to meet its author.
  • When Harry referred to his many books during his discussions, numerous students raised their hands to show to him how they'd all taken his books out of the school library!

  • nts were curious about the publishing process, so Harry gave them some feedback on that subject. He explained the submission and editorial process, and they were shocked to learn that authors receive only 10 percent of a book. He used his latest book, A Boy at War, a story about Pearl Harbor, as an example. Many students
  • expressed interest in reading this book because they had just seen the movie.
  • Students asked Harry how he came up with the idea to write "The Wild Kid." Harry replied that he saw the title on a T-shirt in Manhattan. The story itself, he felt, was an

  • Harry inaugurated his residency in a sixth-grade English class by giving the students some background on his life as a writer. He explained to students that his wife, young-adult novelist Norma Fox Mazer, and their daughter Ann are also writers. Harry spoke about growing up in the Bronx and then moving to upstate New York, where he currently resides. He worked as a welder during the first ten years of their marriage in order to provide for his young family, but found himself feeling trapped. So, he began writing.
  • Students at I.S. 145 asked well-thought out, provoking questions about The Wild Kid, and the publishing process. Many expressed that they wished for a different ending (that the two boys end up living together, as brothers) and urged Harry to write a sequel, because "We'd want to read that!" Harry agreed that it would be a whole other story, and therefore another book. So, he engaged the students in a brainstorming session, asking them to create their own endings for the next story.
  • hen asked which of his books is his favorite, Harry said that it was The Last Mission. He further explained that he felt it was his most important book, also, because it addresses the issues he himself faced in World War II. This proved to be a discussion with which students were fascinated, because they had never anticipated meeting a war veteran.
  • Prior to the residency, sixth graders not only read The Wild Kid, but also created shoebox models depicting various scenes from the book. It was a pleasure for Harry to see his work visualized in such creative ways. Harry praised and thanked each student for their efforts. He was clearly touched that they responded toward the book as they did.
  • Toward the end of the week, Harry made unscheduled visits to two social studies classes, during which he spoke mostly about his experiences at war. He attended these classes on the tail-end of their lessons on Pearl Harbor, which dove- tailed perfectly with The Last Mission, as well as Harry's latest book, A Boy at War. He described in detail the make and model of the planes on which the soldiers worked, including the more morose factors like guns, bombs, and seeing his friends and comrades "go down." Students listened with fascination as he recalled the death
  • close friend of his in combat. By the looks on the student's faces, war had never seemed more real to them than at that moment. By the end of those classes, several students vowed to read his latest book. Harry remarked that the most important books are the ones that kids enjoy and learn from simultaneously.

  • Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Oscar and Eunice H. (née Moen),[1] Paulsen was raised by his parents and later lived with his grandmother and aunts. At the age of 14, he ran away from home to join a carnival.[citation needed] Paulsen used his work as a magazine proofreader to learn the craft of writing.[citation needed] In 1966, his first book was published under the title The Special War. Paulsen is an outdoorsman (a hunter, trapper, and three-time competitor in the 1,150-mile (1,850 km) Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race).
  • Much of Paulsen's work features the outdoors and highlights the importance of nature. He often uses "coming of age" themes in his novels, where a character masters the art of survival in isolation as a rite of passage to manhood and maturity. He is critical of technology and has been called a Luddite.[2]
  • Some of Paulsen's most well-known books are the Hatchet series, although he has published many other popular novels including Dogsong, Harris and Me, and The Winter Room, which won the Newbery Honor. Woodsong and Winterdance are among the most popular books about the Iditarod. Paulsen competed in the 1983 and 1985 Iditarod races. In 1990, because of angina, he gave up dog sledding, which he has described as the most difficult decision he has ever made. After more than a decade spent sailing all over the Pacific, Paulsen got back into dog sledding in 2003. In 2005, he was scheduled to compete in the 2005 Iditarod after a 20-year absence, but he withdrew shortly before the start of the race. He participated in the 2006 Iditarod, but scratched after two days.
  • ...29 more annotations...
  • Paulsen lives in La Luz, New Mexico, with his wife, Ruth Wright Paulsen, an artist who has illustrated several of his books. He also maintains a 40-acre (160,000 m2) spread north of Willow, Alaska, where he breeds and trains sled dogs for the Iditarod. His son James is in his twenties and is working at a university.[citation needed]
  • According to Paulsen's keynote speech on October 13, 2007 at the Sinclair Lewis writing conference in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, he intended to compete in the Iditarod again; he is listed in the "Mushers Withdrawn" section of the 2009 race. [edit]
