I haven't heard this name since middle school. I still have no idea how good/bad of a writer he is overall, I have only ever read that "Hatchet" book they made us read in school. I did kinda enjoy it, though. Are any of his others any good or just a 1 hit wonder?
The Hatchet was his most popular. I remember reading a few others by him. I was never too excited about books back then, but I always liked his books for some reason.
Looking back, they were all coming of age books for boys. They had some good lessons in them too. The Crossing touched on the dangers of border crossing, gangs, and alcoholism without being too vulgar.
