Guess what -- Gary Paulsen was being kind to Brian. In Guts, Gary tells the real stories behind the Brian books, the stories of the adventures that inspired him to write Brian Robeson's story: working as an emergency volunteer; the death that inspired the pilot's death...
For use in schools and libraries only. Paulsen relates the nature lore and autobiographical incidents behind the wilderness survival scenario of Hatchet and many of his other popular books.
