“RUSSEL SUSSKIT rolled out of the bunk and put his feet on the floor and listened in the darkness to the sounds of morning.”
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. He was the author of more than 200 books and wrote more than 200 magazine articles and short stories, and several plays, all primarily for teenagers. He won the Margaret Edwards Award from the American Library Association in 1997 for his lifetime contribution in writing for teens.[ **Source**: [Gary Paulsen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Paulsen) on Wikipedia
