About this eBook
Gary Paulsen has had a life as exciting as fiction!
Gary Paulsen, three-time Newbery Honor author, is no stranger to adventure. He has flown off the back of a dogsled and down a frozen waterfall to near disaster, and waited for a giant bear to seal his fate with one slap of a claw. He has led a team of sled dogs toward the Alaskan Mountain Range in an Iditarod -- the grueling, 1,180-mile dogsled race -- hallucinating from lack of sleep, but he determined to finish.
Here, in vivid detail, Paulsen recounts several of the remarkable experiences that shaped his life and inspired his award-winning writing.

I first listened to this book in 1994 with my English class. I loved it so much my teacher Mr Burke made me a copy on cassette. I still have it to this day, however a cassette player I do not lol. It is an incredible story of a mans journey in preparation for the greatest dog sled race in the world and the challenges he and his best friends face training

We read this book for one of our 6th grade class novels. I read ahead, and I loved it. The story is witty at points, sad at some, and just plain gruesome at a few tiny points. But still, a very good read.
