What book should I read if I liked "Brian's Return," by Gary Paulsen? Is "Guts" a good story,and what is it about?

Guts is a great book, but it's different from Hatchet and Brian's Return. In this one, Paulsen writes about real things that happened to him that he used in the stories about Brian. It's amazing to read about these events, and he's a great storyteller. Give it a try.

Okay, thanks! I was never sure if I would like that book, but I'll see If I get time to read it. I think Gary Paulsen is a great writer, so I would think this book is just as good as any of his other books.
