Gary Paulsen Index


Gary Paulsen

Gary Paulsen is the author of over 175 books. As a writer he appeals to boys and girls, the very young, and the not so young.

Given that he has written so many books, it's not surprising that they span many categories. Gary has written non-fiction and fiction: the latter falling into categories which include historical fiction, humorous books, and adventure.


To help sort through the vast library of Paulsen's works, we have divided his books into broad categories. Besides trying to provide the Reading Level information and Quiz numbers for teachers and adults needing them, we have tried to accompany each book with an image and our own description, any awards and starred reviews, as well as how the book has been received by readers.

This is an ongoing project.
