“For a long time during a war his father was in the army and had to be away to fight, and the boy had to go live with his grandmother.”
Gary James Paulsen (May 17, 1939 – October 13, 2021) was an American writer of children's and young adult fiction, best known for coming of age stories about the wilderness.
