Born on May 17, 1939 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gary Paulsen is the 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. Reading helped Paulsen cope with a difficult family situation then and remains a constant in his life today. 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. Some of his best books are Dancing Carl, Tracker, The Dogsong, and The Crossing.
