From the author of the bestselling Hatchet comes a true story of high-stakes wilderness survival!
If not for his six-hundred-mile journey from the busy Chicago city to a captivating Minnesotan farm aged five, there never would have been a Hatchet. Without the encouragement of the librarian who handed him his first book aged thirteen, he may never have become a reader. And without his daring teenage enlistment in the army, he might not have discovered his true calling as a storyteller.
Gone to the Woods: A True Story of Growing Up in the Wild is the entrancing true story of Gary Paulsen's childhood, of grit and growing up, and is the acclaimed author at his rawest and most real.

Gary Paulsen is an adventurer who competed in two Iditarods, survived the Minnesota wilderness, and climbed the Bighorns. None of this would have been possible without his truest companions: his animals. Sled dogs rescued him in Alaska, a sickened poodle guarded his well-being, and a horse led him across a desert. Through his interactions with dogs, horses, birds, and more, Gary has been struck with the belief that animals know more than we may fathom.
His understanding and admiration of animals is well known, and in This Side of Wild, which has taken a lifetime to write, he proves the ways in which they have taught him to be a better person.

Wer sich hinter eine Kuh stellt, ist für die Folgen selbst verantwortlich ...
So etwas wie die Larsons und ihre Farm hat der 11-jährige Erzähler noch nicht gesehen. Bei ihnen soll er eine Zeit lang leben, weil seine Eltern sich nicht kümmern können. Hier auf der Larsons-Farm geht es ziemlich verrückt zu: Man steht nicht nur mitten in der Nacht auf, um Kühe zu melken und Butter zu machen, nein, man muss sich vor dem geistesgestörten Hahn, der riesigen Miezekatze (einem halbwüchsigen Luchs) und der sehr eigenwilligen Kuh Vivian in Acht nehmen. Und da ist Harris, der nur ein paar Jahre jüngere Cousin. Der ist ein echter Chaot, todesmutig und voller Blödsinn im Kopf. Die beiden Jungs reiten im Schlamm auf den Schweinen, frisieren das Fahrrad zur über den Hof düsenden Rakete um und pinkeln gegen Stromzäune. Echte Freunde werden sie, mit Bauchkrämpfen vor Lachen und Hühnerkacke im Gesicht.

David thought surely he was dead at fourteen. His uncle Owen, who had taught him about sailing safely, would be so angry. Owen had died only days ago, his last wish for David to take the FROG out on his own, and sail her beyond sight of the coast, and once there scatter Owen's ashes.
