Publisher's Note
Survival in the wilderness--Gary Paulsen writes about it so powerfully in his novels Hatchet and The River because hes lived it. These essays recount his adventures alone and with friends, along the rivers and in the woods of northern Minnesota. There, fishing and hunting are serious business, requiring skill, secrets, and inspiration. Luck, too--not every big one gets away.This book takes readers through the seasons, from the incredible taste of a spring fish fresh from the smokehouse, to the first sight of the first deer, to the peace of the winter days spent dreaming by the stove in a fishhouse on the ice. In Paulsens north country, every expedition is a major one, and often hilarious.Once again Gary Paulsen demonstrates why he is one of Americas most beloved writers, for he shows us fishing and hunting as pleasure, as art, as companionship, and as sources of life's deepest lessons.

There are nearly 5 million copies of three-time Newbery Honor author Gary Paulsen's books in print. Now, he presents an unforgettable collection of fishing and hunting essays on his adventures in the North Woods. Sometimes poetic, often hilarious, these essays are certain to appeal to outdoorsmen and to Paulsen's legion of fans.

Industry Reviews
"Descriptions of light and water, of fish and wildlife, kindle in the reader a measure of the author's own complex respect for nature," said PW in a starred review. All ages. (Apr.)
