If you like Gary Paulsen's books

We are always looking for another author to explore.  If you like reading Gary Paulsen's books, why don't you try some of author, Cynthia DeFelice's books? or Jean Craighead George? or Elizabeth George Speare?  You can bet on an action packed novel from any of these terrific authors.

Finding Tip:  Remember when you are in a library that uses the Dewey Decimal Classification System, fiction books are arranged alphabetically on the library shelves first by the author's last name, first name and title.  Oh, you can always ask the people that work in the library.  They will be happy to help you out.
