The Newbery Award-winning author, who died Oct. 13, wrote over 200 books, many of which were tales of adventure aimed at young adults. In 1994, Paulsen talked about Alaska’s Iditarod dog sled race.

I read many of his books as a child. Many good memories. Plus I love listening to his Upper Mid Western / North Woods accent.
