I really don't know the excact age of paulsen but when he was a kid his mom and dad would drink alot and at the age of 14 he ran away from home. When Gary ran away he followed a circus. He got a library card and he started reading although he wasn't very good in school. He worked on a farm, was an engineer, contruction worker, ranch hand, truck driver, sailor, and after being the Alaskan dog sled race two times he began to write books.
