Thank You, Gary Paulsen. Thank You for Your Books

I remember so clearly the time I read Hatchet for the first time by Gary Paulsen. I was in the 4th grade. And when I finished the book, I had a realization that would set the course and direction of my life forever. I wanted to be an author. This wasn't just a casual thought.

“Lifting my face from the dirt, I notice that I am below a dome filled with wild monsters and creatures that aren’t even close to human. I stand in a dazed state momentarily, until a hot laser grazes my cheek. I am in an arena, and this is a fight to the death.”
