Gary Paulsen
Gary Paulsen — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 1987 and 1996. They average 7.7, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.
Editor’s note American writer of survival stories who ran the Iditarod sled dog race twice and wrote more than two hundred books. Hatchet, by far his most read, strands thirteen-year-old Brian alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash with nothing but a hatchet; it is a Newbery Honor book and a school staple. It rates lowest of the Brian books here; Brian’s Winter, which imagines what if he had not been rescued before the cold, rates highest. Read Hatchet first.
