Before Jake's grandfather died, he was on the trail of a centuries-old mystery. And he has entrusted that mystery to Jake, leaving behind a set of hidden codes, riddles, maps, and other clues that lead Jake and his friends on a scavenger hunt into the heart of Colorado's wild and rugged Rocky Mountain National Park.Through twists and turns, the mystery unfolds while Jake, Amber, and Wes learn about survival skills, natural history, integrity, character, and friendship.While camping in Rocky Mountain National Park, they discover they are not the only ones on this quest. An elusive shadow group is close on their heels.Illustrated by the author, this page-turning adventure is designed to capture the imagination of even the most reluctant of young readers. Parents looking for a delightful read-aloud adventure will find it hard to put down. (Word of Caution: readers frequently note that this is a “Please read just one more chapter” book).If your family loves the enchanted lands of our national parks, this series will take you to hidden places and into breathtaking landscapes. If you enjoy movies like National Treasure and Uncharted or mystery adventures like the Hardy Boys and Gary Paulsen's survival story, Hatchet, you'll love this first installment of the National Park Mystery Series.Aaron Johnson grew up on a farm in Ohio where he'd jump the fence to hike into the swamps, gullies, ravines, and gorges in a place they called The Deep Fields. He wrote his first book in second grade, and continued to write as a teenager. Then he became a high school and middle school teacher, and went on to work for twenty years in education. He's so grateful to bring his many passions together in this new life-chapter as an author: the outdoors, writing, the national parks, illustration, and his interest in fields of history, conservation, and the natural sciences. And he gets to squeeze my terrible dad- jokes into my stories. Their family lives in Colorado where Aaron spent over six months exploring and leading backpacking trips into Rocky Mountain National Park. That's why the adventure begins in RMNP, in the heart of a place that he thinks of as home. Aaron hopes your family not only enjoys these stories, but also develops a deeper affection for our national parks and the other wild places near you.

Gone to the Woods by Gary PaulsenAs a young child, Gary Paulsen was often placed in situations that were not safe or healthy. At one point, he was sent off on a two day trail ride to live with people he really didn't know well. But that was where he learned his appreciation of the woods and all it could offer. In the years to come, that was the place he would often retreat to, to feel safe and comfort and often, just for food to survive. This is his story of surviving his own childhood. Recommended for grades 6 and up. 

Idag vill Martin berätta om en bok som han faktiskt har läst! Det är klassikern Hatchet (Yxan) av Gary Paulsen; en ungdomsbok med starka överlevnadsinslag.

Piloten avlider, planet krashar i en sjö och Brian, som enda överlevare måste klara sig på egen hand tills hjälpen kommer!

Homeschooling, unfortunately, comes with a lot of stigmas from those who aren't familiar with it. On the flip side, it's also becoming more and more common as parents want to find more individualized ways of learning for their kids. In today's episode, I'm chatting with Sarah Collins of Homeschool OT, who provides consultation services for occupational therapists and homeschoolers. She's sharing practical ideas for both homeschoolers and OTs, best practices for OTs on how to approach conversations with homeschoolers, and three homeschooling philosophies and how they're beneficial to nature-based therapy. Nature-based therapy practitioners can benefit from understanding the ecosystem of homeschooling, and homeschoolers can benefit from integrating nature-based OT practices into their daily lives. I hope this episode inspires you to learn more about how you can work with homeschooling communities as an OT. We'll discuss: How homeschooling her kids led Sarah to transition to specifically working with homeschool communities/parents and occupational therapists as a homeschool consultant with OT experience What to say and what not to say as an OT working with homeschool parents and communities, and debunking stigmas about homeschooling Finding the balance between letting homeschool kids develop at their own pace and catching any needs early so they can be addressed, and how to approach providing support to homeschool communities as an OT The Charlotte Mason method of education; the beauty and importance of living books; how the science of relations works in narration, and how it teaches us to listen How unschooling lends itself to nature-based therapy, how traditional school subjects are innately built into the learning, and how you can build therapy into the child's interests How COVID gave a lot of people the confidence to homeschool The Waldorf philosophy, and how form drawing can be beneficial in nature-based therapy Connect with Sarah: Homeschool OT website Follow Sarah on Instagram Join Homeschool Therapy Ideas Facebook group Resources from this episode: Perspectives of Homeschool Educators on Occupational Therapy: A Pilot Study Hatchet by Gary Paulsen (a great example of a living book for middle schoolers!)

Is fasting good for us more than just spiritually? Is that even a question, and is Joseph just a gnostic at heart? Crystal has been reading a book about the health benefits of fasting, which prompted today's episode. We reference the book Eat, Fast, Feast by Jay Richards: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/eat-fast-feast-jay-w-richards?variant=32207678439458 As an aside, we also referenced Gary Paulsen's classic YA novel, Hatchet, as the main character loses all body fat throughout his adventure: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hatchet/Gary-Paulsen/9781481486293And Joseph wanted to bring up a story by Franz Kafka, called "A Hunger Artist", but we ran out of time and maybe it wasn't at all relevant in the first place...: https://www.kafka-online.info/a-hunger-artist.html

Stephen S. Mills, award-winning author, poet and playwright had, as many of us did, a rather circuitous route to becoming a member of the Goddard community. He grew up in Indiana reading and writing. His first inspiration was the work of Gary Paulsen, writer of Hatchet and other books for young adults. He went to a small liberal arts school in the southeast corner of the state, Hanover College. After graduation, he moved to Tallahassee after being accepted by Florida State's MFA program. As one of a very few queer people in the program, Stephen was often subjected to more personal examinations of his work. Upon earning his masters, he moved to Orlando where he taught at a for profit school. He taught mostly on-line courses for four and half years. Later, he wrote an essay which was  published on The Rumpus about his experience. It was also during this time he wrote his first book, He Do the Gay Man in Different Voices, which came out six months before leaving the sunshine state for New York. While working at an HIV outreach program, he was approached about interviewing to become part of the Goddard Faculty. He has now taught at the low-residency MFA program for three semesters and has been wowed by the supportive community of students. Stephen loves being able to mentor so many queer writers. Stephen's writing draws from history and pulp culture. His most recent book, Not Everything Thrown Starts a Revolution, found its inspiration in a “This American Life” episode, which looked at suicide by proxy, a phenomenon in which people would kill a child and confess in order to be executed. The first part of the book is a fictionalized version of a perpetrator/victim. The second half is set in the modern day with more personal poems that look at the criminal justice system. In his current creative work, he's looking at slasher films of the 70's and 80's for queer themes. He explores the connection the queer community has to these movies, especially in the way it allows members of the community to identify with the villains in the way in which they are othered.  Connect with Stephen Stephen's Work: "Surviving a For-Profit School": https://therumpus.net/2013/07/17/surviving-a-for-profit-school/ He Do the Gay Man in Different Voices: https://siblingrivalrypress.bigcartel.com/product/he-do-the-gay-man-in-different-voices-by-stephen-s-mills A History of the Unmarried: https://siblingrivalrypress.bigcartel.com/product/a-history-of-the-unmarried Not Everything Thrown Starts a Revolution: https://siblingrivalrypress.bigcartel.com/product/not-everything-thrown-starts-a-revolution-by-stephen-s-mills Follow Stephen: Website: https://www.stephensmills.com Instagram: @stephenscott22

In 1983 Margaret Weis took on a job as a book editor at TSR, producers of the Dungeons and Dragons® role-playing game.

And now they're back with a new trilogy! Margaret tells us about her incredible career, the three tips that Gary Paulsen gave her, she answers our listener questions and shares the words of encouragement that kept her going when she got her first rejections.

Northwind by Gary PaulsenLeif had been bounced around his whole life. After his mother died he was picked up by sailors and found his life was on ships sailing the ocean. When Leif and some other men are put off a ship to harvest salmon, they never expected to be visited by some other men who bring death to the camp. At that point, Leif is sent away with Little Carl, a small boy, to see if they can survive in the wild by themselves. Recommended  for grades 6 and up.

Bestselling novelist Jewell Parker Rhodes returns to talk about her latest book, Paradise on Fire, and the racial disparities that exist when it comes to children's access to nature. Zibby and Jewell discuss how although the novel is intended for middle-grade readers, there is a heaviness to it that reflects the struggle we are facing in the global fight against climate change. Jewell shares how she was inspired by the late Gary Paulsen to write a wilderness survival story, why her children are outdoors people even though she's not, and a hint about the project she's working on next.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Ik2K4VBookshop: https://bit.ly/3FDjzWRSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here for their January movie podcast. The two are chatting about Snow Dogs, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Snow Dogs is a family film directed by Brian Levant. It was inspired by Gary Paulsen's book, Winterdance, and produced in part by Disney. It opened in theaters on January 18, 2002. The film follows a Miami dentist named Ted Brooks (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who journeys to Alaska after he learns he's adopted. There he meets his birth father, Thunder Jack (James Coburn), who teaches the city slicker how to mush Huskies. Other characters include Ted's love interest, Barb (Joanna Bacalso), and Ted's adoptive mother, Amelia (Nichelle Nichols). Snow Dogs received mostly negative reviews but did make $115 million on a $33 million budget. The brothers talk about the movie's plot, characters, and comedy. They also discuss its similarities to other dog movies. You can listen to Josh and Aaron's previous podcast on Cory in the House. Snow Dogs is available to rent on Prime Video.

Reading of a poem on the joy and meaning of reading books.

In Hatchet, 13-year-old Brian Robeson learned to survive alone in the Canadian wilderness, armed only with his hatchet. Finally, as millions of readers know, he was rescued at the end of the summer. But what if Brian hadn't been rescued? What if he had been left to face his deadliest enemy - winter?Gary Paulsen raises the stakes for survival in this riveting and inspiring story as one boy confronts the ultimate test and the ultimate adventure.

Newbery Award-winner Gary Paulsen's best-known book comes to audio in this breathless, heart-gripping drama about a boy pitted against the wilderness with only a hatchet and a will to live.On his way to visit his recently divorced father in the Canadian mountains, thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is the only survivor when the single-engine plane crashes. His body battered, his clothes in shreds, Brian must now stay alive in the boundless Canadian wilderness.More than a survival story, Hatchet is a tale of tough decisions. When all is stripped down to the barest essentials, Brian discovers some stark and simple truths. Self-pity doesn't work. Despair doesn't work. And if Brian is to survive physically as well as mentally, he must discover courage.
