{"product_id":"gone-to-the-woods","title":"Gone to the Woods","description":"A mesmerizing memoir from three-time Newbery Honor–winning author Gary Paulsen―whose books have sold over 35 million copies worldwide―giving readers a new perspective on the origins of his blockbuster contemporary classic Hatchet and other famed survival stories.\n\n“Leaves you gritting your teeth and clutching the pages . . . Haunted me as a reader.” ―The New York Times Book Review\n\n “This literary treasure is written for book lovers of any age.” ―Shelf Awareness, starred review\n\nHis name is synonymous with high-stakes wilderness survival adventures. Now, beloved author Gary Paulsen portrays a series of life-altering moments from his turbulent childhood as his own original survival story. If not for his summer escape from a shockingly neglectful Chicago upbringing to a North Woods homestead at age five, there never would have been a Hatchet. Without the encouragement of the librarian who handed him his first book at age thirteen, he may never have become a reader. And without his desperate teenage enlistment in the Army, he would not have discovered his true calling as a storyteller.\n\nAn entrancing and critically lauded account of grit and growing up, perfect for newcomers and lifelong fans alike, Gone to the Woods: Surviving a Lost Childhood is literary legend Gary Paulsen at his rawest and realest.\n\nDon’t miss Gary Paulsen’s other acclaimed books from Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers: the father-son comedy How to Train Your Dad and the page-turning survival adventure Northwind.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250866553\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250866553.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Paulsen, Gary\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
