Authors in Forthcoming Volumes
Below are some of the authors and illustrators that will be featured in upcoming volumes of SATA. These include new entries on the swiftly rising stars of the field, as well as completely revised and updated entries (indicated with *) on some of the most notable and best-loved creators of books for children.
Is and When Chickens Grow Teeth, the latter a retelling of a tale by Guy de Maupassant. She is perhaps best known to young readers for creating the illustrations for Rylant’s popular “Cobble Street” books. *Jarrett Krosoczka ❚ Trained as an illustrator, Krosoczka turned his creative talents toward creating children’s picture books while he was a student at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. His first book, Good Night, Monkey Boy, signaled for both readers and critics the beginning of a successful career; since the publication of this title in 2001 the prolific Krosoczka has treated readers to such whimsical self-illustrated stories as Bubble Bath Pirates!, Punk Farm, and My Buddy, Slug.
*Cari Best ❚ A prolific writer who specializes in stories for the early elementary grades, Best published her first book for children at age forty. Her humorous, lighthearted stories, which include Shrinking Violet, Sally Jean, the Bicycle Queen, and What’s So Bad about Being an Only Child?, have teamed her with a roster of top illustrators, among them Giselle Potter, Sophie Blackall, and G. Brian Karas.
Eujin Kim Neilan ❚ Praised for her evocative art, Neilan has contributed illustrations to several picture books, including Daniel San Souci’s Korean folktale retelling In the Moonlight Mist and The Best Winds by Laura E. Williams. She also brings a fantasy element to Imagine a Dragon, a book by Laurence Pringle that has been praised for its intricate, sinuous illustrations.
Ross Collins ❚ Collins is an award-winning Scottish author and illustrator who can claim over seventy-five works for young readers to his credit. His original books include Alvie Eats Soup, in which an extremely finicky eater exasperates his parents through his refusal to dine on anything except soup, and Germs, a quirky story about a virus with a conscience. Herbie Brennan, Julia Donaldson, and Alan Durant are among the many authors whose books feature Collins’ engaging cartoon art.
Charles Santore ❚ Santore continues the tradition of the artists of the Golden Age of Illustration. The recipient of numerous awards for his detailed paintings, he brings to life a range of texts, from the fables of Aesop and the poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to beloved stories by Beatrix Potter and Hans Christian Andersen. In addition, Santore has also created original, self-illustrated picture books such as William the Curious, A Stowaway on Noah’s Ark, and The Silk Princess.
*Tomie dePaola ❚ One of the best-known contemporary children’s book illustrators, as well as a fine artist and teacher, dePaola is the author and/or illustrator of hundreds of books for beginning readers. His works, which include the award-winning Strega Nona, Tomie dePaola’s Mother Goose, and The Friendly Beasts, reflect his life and his interests, as well as his affection for and understanding of his audience. DePaola writes and illustrates picturebook stories, nonfiction, folk and fairy tales, and semiautobiographical stories that draw on his Italian and Irish heritage as well as his background as both a Roman Catholic and his familiarity with New England and the American West.
David Steinberg ❚ An animation executive who has been associated with such films as An American Tail, Mulan, and Meet the Robinsons, Steinberg has written more than a dozen books for young readers, several of which grew out of his experiences as a storyteller. Grasshopper Pie and Other Poems and The Monster Mall and Other Spooky Poems each contain five brief, nonsensical stories told in verse. Writing as D.J. Steinberg, he has also teamed up with artist Brian Smith to create the “Adventures of Daniel Boom aka Loud Boy” series, comic tales that attract reluctant readers with their graphic-novel format.
Laura Freeman ❚ An illustrator based in New York City, Freeman has provided the artwork for picture books such as Jazz Baby by Carole Boston Weatherford and chapter books that include Karen English’s Nikki and Deja. Her digitally enhanced pastel images also appear in Dana Kessimakis Smith’s picture books A Wild Cowboy and A Brave Spaceboy, both of which capture a child’s playful imagination.
*Arthur Yorinks ❚ The author of dozens of picture books as well as many stage plays, Yorinks is known for spinning outrageous and sometimes surreal stories which are frequently brought to life in detailed illustrations by artists such as Richard Egielski, David Small, and Maurice Sendak. In Sid and Sol a small man stands up to a formidable giant, while both Company’s Coming and Company’s Going find a woman graciously inviting space aliens to dinner. In each of his books, Yorinks’ bizarre tales are told with a deadpan humor that delights his many readers.
*Wendy Anderson Halperin ❚ A children’s author and illustrator, Halperin has earned a reputation among critics for her detailed and expressive pencil and watercolor paintings. Throughout her career, she has not only illustrated for award-winning writers, including Cynthia Rylant, Janet Taylor Lisle, and Kathryn Lasky, but has also created and adapted stories of her own, including Love

Introduction
Something about the Author (SATA) is an ongoing reference series that examines the lives and works of authors and illustrators of books for children. SATA includes not only wellknown writers and artists but also less prominent individuals whose works are just coming to be recognized. This series is often the only readily available information source on emerging authors and illustrators. You’ll find SATA informative and entertaining, whether you are a student, a librarian, an English teacher, a parent, or simply an adult who enjoys children’s literature.
Two Convenient Indexes In response to suggestions from librarians, SATA indexes no longer appear in every volume but are included in alternate (odd-numbered) volumes of the series, beginning with Volume 57. SATA continues to include two indexes that cumulate with each alternate volume: the Illustrations Index, arranged by the name of the illustrator, gives the number of the volume and page where the illustrator’s work appears in the current volume as well as all preceding volumes in the series; the Author Index gives the number of the volume in which a person’s biographical sketch, autobiographical essay, or obituary appears in the current volume as well as all preceding volumes in the series.
What’s Inside SATA SATA provides detailed information about authors and illustrators who span the full time range of children’s literature, from early figures like John Newbery and L. Frank Baum to contemporary figures like Judy Blume and Richard Peck. Authors in the series represent primarily English-speaking countries, particularly the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Also included, however, are authors from around the world whose works are available in English translation. The writings represented in SATA include those created intentionally for children and young adults as well as those written for a general audience and known to interest younger readers. These writings cover the entire spectrum of children’s literature, including picture books, humor, folk and fairy tales, animal stories, mystery and adventure, science fiction and fantasy, historical fiction, poetry and nonsense verse, drama, biography, and nonfiction. Obituaries are also included in SATA and are intended not only as death notices but also as concise overviews of people’s lives and work. Additionally, each edition features newly revised and updated entries for a selection of SATA listees who remain of interest to today’s readers and who have been active enough to require extensive revisions of their earlier biographies.
These indexes also include references to authors and illustrators who appear in Gale’s Yesterday’s Authors of Books for Children, Children’s Literature Review, and Something about the Author Autobiography Series.
Easy-to-Use Entry Format Whether you’re already familiar with the SATA series or just getting acquainted, you will want to be aware of the kind of information that an entry provides. In every SATA entry the editors attempt to give as complete a picture of the person’s life and work as possible. A typical entry in SATA includes the following clearly labeled information sections: PERSONAL: date and place of birth and death, parents’ names and occupations, name of spouse, date of marriage, names of children, educational institutions attended, degrees received, religious and political affiliations, hobbies and other interests. ADDRESSES: complete home, office, electronic mail, and agent addresses, whenever available.
Autobiography Feature
CAREER: name of employer, position, and dates for each career post; art exhibitions; military service; memberships and offices held in professional and civic organizations.
Beginning with Volume 103, many volumes of SATA feature one or more specially commissioned autobiographical essays. These unique essays, averaging about ten thousand words in length and illustrated with an abundance of personal photos, present an entertaining and informative first-person perspective on the lives and careers of prominent authors and illustrators profiled in SATA.
MEMBER: professional, civic, and other association memberships and any official posts held. AWARDS, HONORS: literary and professional awards received.

x • Authors in Forthcoming Volumes WRITINGS: title-by-title chronological bibliography of books written and/or illustrated, listed by genre when known; lists of other notable publications, such as plays, screenplays, and periodical contributions. ADAPTATIONS: a list of films, television programs, plays, CD-ROMs, recordings, and other media presentations that have been adapted from the author’s work.
Something about the Author • Volume 199 sources are consulted, as are book reviews, feature articles, published interviews, and material sometimes obtained from the biographee’s family, publishers, agent, or other associates. Whenever possible, the author or illustrator is sent a copy of the entry to check for accuracy and completeness. Entries that have not been verified by the biographees or their representatives are marked with an asterisk (*).
WORK IN PROGRESS: description of projects in progress. SIDELIGHTS: a biographical portrait of the author or illustrator’s development, either directly from the biographee— and often written specifically for the SATA entry—or gathered from diaries, letters, interviews, or other published sources. BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL SOURCES: cites sources quoted in “Sidelights” along with references for further reading.

Something about the Author Product Advisory Board
The editors of Something about the Author are dedicated to maintaining a high standard of excellence by publishing comprehensive, accurate, and highly readable entries on a wide array of writers for children and young adults. In addition to the quality of the content, the editors take pride in the graphic design of the series, which is intended to be orderly yet inviting, allowing readers to utilize the pages of SATA easily and with efficiency. Despite the longevity of the SATA print series, and the success of its format, we are mindful that the vitality of a literary reference product is dependent on its ability to serve its users over time. As literature, and attitudes about literature, constantly evolve, so do the reference needs of students, teachers, scholars, journalists, researchers, and book club members. To be certain that we continue to keep pace with the expectations of our customers, the editors of SATA listen carefully to their comments regarding the value, utility, and quality of the series. Librarians, who have firsthand knowledge of the needs of library users, are a valuable resource for us. The Something about the Author Product Advisory Board, made up of school, public, and academic librarians, is a forum to promote focused feedback about SATA on a regular basis. The nine-member advisory board includes the following individuals, whom the editors wish to thank for sharing their expertise:
Joan B. Eisenberg Lower School Librarian, Milton Academy, Milton, Massachusetts
Eva M. Davis Director, Canton Public Library, Canton, Michigan

Owen, writing in School Library Journal, concluded that Archer’s story represents a “sweet tribute to young children.”

Sidelights While Peggy Archer works as a registered nurse in her home state of Indiana, she also has a second career, writing books for children. “I wrote stories and poems when I was a little girl,” she explained in an article posted on her home page, “but I never thought about being an author until much later. I read so many books to my children that I thought I would try to write some of my own. My children liked my stories, and I finally got brave enough to send them out to children’s magazines, and then to children’s book publishers.” Archer’s first published book, One of the Family, appeared in 1983. “It was especially fitting that my first book was a Little Golden Book,” as she recalled, “since my favorite books as a child were the Little Golden Books that my mother read to me.” In her second book for children, Turkey Surprise, Archer tells the story of two Pilgrim brothers who are hunting for turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. The smaller brother begins to have doubts about whether they should shoot the bird. Although he sees the turkey hiding in the woods, he steers his brother away and even helps the turkey to escape. Eventually, the two brothers settle on a Thanksgiving menu that has no turkey dinner. “Hunters and hunted are treated with a light touch,” Hazel Rochman wrote in her Booklist review of Turkey Surprise, “and kids will identify with the turkey as well as with the small Pilgrim.” A critic in Kirkus Reviews called Archer’s book a “yummy addition to any collection.” In From Dawn to Dreams: Poems for Busy Babies Archer presents fifteen poems about a baby’s typical day. Among the activities covered are taking a first step, discovering a mirror, taking a bath, and befriending the

months, the grateful rabbit watches over Robin throughout the snowy season. Calling Baguley’s gentle story “sweet,” a Kirkus Reviews writer had special praise for Tina Macnaughton’s “gorgeous” paintings, which capture the “tender actions” of the two friends. In Publishers Weekly a critic called The Little Lost Robin “a childfriendly” story about “the pleasures of unlikely bonds, and the joy that music brings.” “Writing is my greatest pleasure, allowing me both to escape into my own imagination and to contact an audience,” Baguley told SATA. “I wandered into writing for children almost by accident, although once I had begun, I soon discovered that it had become a compulsion. Perhaps I am a frustrated poet, finding that in the creation of a picture-book text which is so limited in length, there is an opportunity to use words with the utmost care and precision: I also enjoy their musicality. As for working for and with children, it is the greatest of pleasures to work with people whose lack of cynicism and enthusiasm are so energizing. Elizabeth Baguley (Courtesy of Elizabeth Baguley.)

Sidelights Elizabeth Baguley is a British teacher and author whose picture books have been published in both her native England and in the United States. Her first story, Meggie Moon, pairs Baguley’s text with artwork by Gregoire Mabire to relay the story of two rough-and-tumble boys who learn a more imaginative type of play after a girl named Meggie invades their junkyard turf. Noting that Mabire’s watercolor images “invite a closer look,” School Library Journal contributor Linda Ludke dubbed Meggie Moon useful to introduce storytime audiences to “gender stereotypes as well as the power of imagination.” In Kirkus Reviews a writer commented on the author’s “playful, descriptive language,” adding that “Baguley’s hearty tale will set imaginations sailing.” Calling the picture book “satisfying,” London Sunday Times reviewer Nicolette Jones added that the story in Meggie Moon “develops with pace, observation and emotion,” and is told in a prose that is “lively, precise, and surprising.” Friendship is also at the heart of Baguley’s picture book The Little Lost Robin. This time, readers meet Hare, a rabbit who dances less now that he is older and more sedate. The birds he feeds miss Hare’s hijinks, and when the flock flies south for the winter, Hare misses them. When he learns that one bird, a robin, has stayed behind to sing and keep Hare company through the colder
“I combine the two sides of my life by working in schools as an author, running creative workshops often based around use of improvisation and drama, hoping, like Meggie Moon, to help children find the world of the imagination.”

Dan Bar-el, a writer and storyteller based in Canada, is the author of the picture books Alphabetter and Such a Prince. In addition, Bar-el works as an early childhood educator. “I . . . balance my writing time between touring as an author and storyteller, and facilitating a preschooler program in which children’s stories are recorded and acted out with classmates,” he noted in an essay for the Canadian Children’s Book Centre Web site. Born in Edmonton, Bar-el grew up in London, Ontario, Canada. At the age of ten, he discovered a love of the theater and began acting. After graduating from high school, during which he had performed in both school and community productions, he attended the Ryerson Theatre School for three years before embarking on a career as a professional actor. During this time, Bar-el met his writing partner, a comedy performer, and they eventually formed a comedy troupe that toured across Canada. Doing volunteer work with children would changed his career path, however, as Bar-el’s focus shifted to creative programming for children and then to children’s literature. His first published book for young readers, Things Are Looking up, Jack, appeared in 2003. In Things Are Looking up, Jack, a parody of favorite nursery rhymes, Jack and Jill investigate a series of disasters in Mother Goose’s kingdom. After the pair tumbles down a hill, they learn that Humpty Dumpty has cracked his shell, London Bridge is collapsing, and Little Bo Peep’s sheep have gone missing. During the course of their inquiry, Jack, Jill, and Bo Peep are trapped and imprisoned by Evil Jack, the culprit behind all the chaos in the land. According to Julie Hunt, writing in the Canadian Review of Materials, in Things Are Looking up, Jack “Bar-el creates a fast paced story that cleverly incorporates nursery rhymes and nursery characters.” Resource Links contributor Adrianne Pettit also praised the work, noting that the tale is “written with wit.” Things Are Looking Grimm, Jill, another fractured fairy tale, centers on an unusual quest. After Jill receives a distress signal from Red Riding Hood, she undertakes a journey to the land of Grimm, where the inhabitants are suffering from a strange malady. Along the way, she meets a host of recognizable characters, including Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Cinderella. In the Canadian Review of Materials, Jonine Bergen observed that in this book Bar-el “adds a lesser
Something about the Author, Volume 199
known character, Iron Hans, to the mix. By using the familiar with a touch of the unfamiliar, he successfully encourages the reader to pick up an old favourite or something new after completing this fun treat.” Twenty-six children find themselves in a variety of predicaments in Bar-el’s Alphabetter, “an unusual and creative approach to the typical ABC’s,” according to Pettit. Although the youngsters are more than ready to dive into their chosen activities, as each one attempts to begin, he or she discovers that one necessary object is missing. Each child’s missing item is discovered, with a turn of the page, in the possession of another child. A Kirkus Reviews critic deemed Alphabetter “an entertaining alphabet book with a twist.” Such a Prince presents Bar-el’s humorous retelling of an old folktale. When Princess Vera falls ill, an outspoken fairy named Libby Gaborchik devises the cure: the princess must eat three perfect peaches and then marry,

all within a week. When kindly but scrawny Marvin supplies the fruit and offers his duties as potential spouse, the king attempts to scuttle the impending marriage. Bar-el’s narrative “is fun to read aloud, and Gaborchik’s comical and slightly narcissistic personality brings a lot of punch to the story,” remarked Julie Roach in School Library Journal. Jeffrey Canton, writing in Quill & Quire, stated that in Such a Prince Bar-el “has used his skills as storyteller to create a book that feels like a well-loved, oft-told fairy tale.”

Sidelights Sheri Bell-Rehwoldt began her career as a writer in the field of public relations, and worked at a variety of organizations and businesses while writing articles on the side. After her husband’s job transferred her family to Buffalo, New York, she began writing books for children. Among her first works were the teen career guides Art, Law, and Military, each of which offers advice on how to train for and find jobs in its specific industry. With the activity books Great World War II Projects You Can Build Yourself and Amazing Maya Inventions You Can Build Yourself, Bell-Rehwoldt shifts her focus to reluctant readers. Both are based on historical fact, and both are full of activities from baking to building to game playing. Writing about Amazing Maya Inventions You Can Build Yourself, Kliatt critic Paula Rohrlick recommended the work as “a great addition to a unit on Central American history.” Other how-to guides by BellRehwoldt offer instructions on topics such as building, playing games, and pulling pranks on friends. Bell-Rehwoldt’s first fictional title, You Think It’s Easy Being the Tooth Fairy?, is a picture book in which a put-upon fairy explains the trials of her job and corrects children who may have gotten the wrong idea about who she is. She does not wear pink dresses or glass slippers, for example; those qualities belong to Cinderella, whom the fairy deems lazy. Rather than relying on reindeer and a team of elves, like Santa Claus, the tooth fairy is a very modern sort of worker: she rides a surfboard and has tools such as the Tooth-o-Finder and the Spy-o-Binoculars to help her do her work. A Kirkus Reviews contributor noted that in Bell-Rehwoldt’s fanciful
Something about the Author, Volume 199
profile, the tooth fairy is “stripped of her dainty, gentle, winged ways,” and while the wry tone may not work for some young readers, “others will surely vigorously embrace her gusto.” School Library Journal contributor Maryann H. Owen commented on the fairy’s “over-thetop confidence and audacious attitude,” and noted that You Think It’s Easy Being the Tooth Fairy? leaves unanswered the most obvious question: what does the tooth fairy do with all the teeth she collects? Bell-Rehwoldt told SATA: “I have completed my first middle-grade novel draft. Titled Junk Lot Jive, it’s about a boy named Nick who hates that his father has moved them to a junk lot. But when Nick is forced to enter the school art contest, he and his best friend Jimmy Black use the junk to create their entry. Nick learns that his dad had his reasons for becoming a junk dealer, and that life, as Nick’s idol Abraham Lincoln says, “is what you make of it.’ “In addition to writing for children, I also continue to write articles for adult markets, while also offering writing and editing services to business clients.”

Sidelights In spite of (or, perhaps, because of) his mysterious past, Pseudonymous Bosch has entertained readers and critics alike with his first two novels, The Name of This Book Is Secret and If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late. Very little is known about the author’s true identity; in fact, in a biographical essay on the Allen & Unwin Web site, Bosch wrote that “the reason Pseudonymous must remain anonymous is . . . well, it’s a secret.” In The Name of This Book Is Secret, the enigmatic author tells the story of Cassandra and Max-Ernest, a pair of quirky but intrepid eleven year olds who form an unlikely friendship while looking into the strange death of an elderly magician. During their investigation, the preteens discover a society of men and women who are bent on achieving immortality. Drawing comparisons to Daniel Handler’s “Lemony Snicket” novels, The Name of This Book Is Secret earned strong reviews. “The story line is often engaging,” noted a critic in Kirkus Reviews, and a Publishers Weekly contributor described the work as “equal parts supernatural whodunit, suspense-filled adventure and evocative coming-of-age tale.” Cassandra and Max-Ernest return in If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, which recounts their further adventures with the secret Terces Society. “Embedded in the

Sidelights Born in the United States and now making her home in western Canada, Kyrsten Brooker studied interior design before making the shift to a career in illustration. “I decided I’d never be happy unless I gave illustration a shot,” Brooker admitted on the Macmillan Web site. “I enrolled in the illustration associate degree program at Pratt Institute in 1989. I have worked as a freelance illustrator since graduating in 1991.”

Brooker’s first illustration assignment, creating artwork for Roni Schotter’s picture book Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street, prompted J. Patrick Lewis to write in the New York Times Book Review that “Brooker uses collages so adroitly and with such brio that you feel like reaching in and putting an arm around each of these elegantly drawn characters.” Brooker’s multimedia collage art is also a feature of Kathleen Krull’s They Saw the Future: Oracles, Psychics, Scientists, Great Thinkers, and Pretty Good Guessers, a nonfiction work that Marilyn Bousquin cited in Horn Book for its illustrations. According to Bousquin, “Brooker seizes upon such details to render eye-catching, flamboyant portraits; her gently caricatured subjects often possess a spiritual quality as they gaze off the page toward some faraway, mysterious realm.” Stephanie Zvirin wrote in Booklist that “Brooker’s elegant collages . . . [are] modern in feel yet in keeping with the history” of seers from Nostradamus to Jean Dixon. Other books featuring Brooker’s art include City Angel, a picture book that includes a text by noted author Eileen Spinelli. To bring to life Spinelli’s story about a motherly angel who, African American in appearance, presides over bustling, family-centered urban neighborhoods, Brooker contributes what School Library Journal critic Martha Topol described as “an interesting blend of oil paints and collage.” By “splicing photographic images of real objects into artistic renderings to create detailed cityscapes,” the illustrator creates a series of unique images, each of which “can be studied as a work of art,” according to the critic. In Runaway Dreidel!, a holiday-themed picture book with a text by Lesléa Newman, Brooker also creates “madly tilting, fanciful oil and cut-paper collage illustrations [that] are wonderfully textured and full of fabulous details,” according to a Kirkus Reviews writer. Reviewing the illustrator’s contribution to Caroline Lazo’s Someday When My Cat Can Talk, Booklist contributor Kristen McKulski concluded that Brooker’s “sophisticated” artwork for the book, which is composed of “brocade textiles and wallpaper, pearls, and other frills and finery, invite[s] readers to explore each scene for the various treasures found within.”

Coppersmith persona to write the story for Jan Karon Presents Cynthia Coppersmith’s Violet Comes to Stay, which was illustrated by Caldecott-winner Emily Arnold McCully.
Career
Jan Karon Presents Cynthia Coppersmith’s Violet Comes to Stay introduces Violet, a kitten who is trying to learn how to catch mice so she can be useful. Twice she is taken from her home to a business, only to be returned to her mother after she does not catch any mice. The third time Violet is more fortunate; bookstore owner Alice understands when Violet cannot kill a mouse, because she sees mice as God’s creatures as well. A Kirkus Reviews critic noted that Cecka’s text contains “pious messages” that mesh well with the story’s “affectionate tone,” and Booklist reviewer Carolyn Phelan predicted that the “well-constructed story” is “bound to please tenderhearted children.”
Grand Prize, Korean Published Arts Contest, 2005; Outstanding International Book listee, U.S. Board on Books for Young People, for Minji’s Salon.
The little white cat returns in Jan Karon Presents Cynthia Coppersmith’s Violet Goes to the Country. In this volume, Violet accompanies her new owner on a visit to Aunt Lydia and Uncle Leo, who live on a farm. Uncle Leo does not care for cats, and Violet upsets him when she is startled by some of the farm’s animals. When she runs up a tree, however, it is Uncle Leo who rescues her, admitting later that a cat in his lap is not so bad. “Less pious than the first [book], Violet will appeal to cat fanciers,” a Kirkus Reviews writer observed. While Phelan found “the ending . . . predictable and the text . . . a bit long,” she concluded of Jan Karon Presents Cynthia Coppersmith’s Violet Goes to the Country that Cecka’s “writing sympathetically portrays the cat’s rather childlike feelings.”

while still working as a consultant for computer giant IBM. His debut work, the middle-grade novel Triv in Pursuit, has been followed by other novels, such as Weirdo’s War, Tag, The Cure, The Snog Log, and On the Run, as well as the sports-related “Foul Football” and “Angels F.C.” series. Triv in Pursuit follows the exploits of James “Triv” Trevellyan, an indifferent student at St. Ethelred’s School. One Monday, all of the teachers begin disappearing, leaving only clever notes or odd clues behind. The note left by the music teacher, for instance, reads: “I won’t be coming Bach.” With his friend Madeleine, Triv discovers that the local grocer, who works on the side as a hypnotist, is kidnapping the teaching staff for use in a conspiracy involving tea bags. Coleman interjects numerous jokes and comical moments leading up to Triv’s cleverly plotted rescue, including pointed barbs directed at the school’s headmaster, a zealous disciplinarian of the first order. Michael Kirby, reviewing Triv in Pursuit for School Librarian, maintained that the book is “written with great verve and humour,” and dubbed it “a rollicking good read.”

Coleman’s novel Weirdo’s War was shortlisted for a Carnegie medal. The story relates the plight of Daniel, an intelligent loner who, teased by his classmates, has earned the nickname “Weirdo.” Daniel’s father forces him to participate in a school field trip that is designed as an outdoor adventure experience. Daniel lands on the same team as the meanest of the class bullies, and the story actually opens as the group is trapped in a limestone pit after a cave-in. Daniel’s woes are recounted in flashback as he employs his powers of rational thinking and knowledge of science to extricate his team. “The first-person narrative achieves a depth of characterization unusual for a thriller,” noted Horn Book critic Mary M. Burns, the critic adding: “In fact, [Weirdo’s War] is much more than a thriller . . . it is a coming-of-age story of sorts and a tribute to the spirit of individuality. It’s also a great read!” Another novel geared for teen readers, On the Run, combines mystery and adventure in its story about a fifteen year old whose attempt at petty robbery winds up making him a hero of sorts. One night Luke Reid attempts to steal a pair of trendy running shoes from a locked car. However, some local car thieves make it clear that they intend to steal the car itself, and during the commission of their crime, the car owner’s blind daughter gets in the way. Fortunately, the quick-thinking Luke pulls Jodi to safety and his heroic act counts in his favor when he is arrested and goes before a judge. Rather than jail time, the teen is required to perform an unusual form of community service: He must help Jodi train for the 3K run scheduled to be held as part of the upcoming London marathon. “Fans of British fiction will enjoy the urban dialect, and Jodi’s triumph over her disability is inspirational,” wrote Vicki Reutter in her review of On the Run for School Library Journal. In Kirkus Reviews a critic dubbed Coleman’s novel “an absorbing British import about the redemptive power of trust,” the critic adding that the author marries a story without pat solutions with an “ending [that] satisfies.” Coleman’s “Fizzy” books are designed for early elementary readers and are illustrated by Philippe Dupasquier. Fizzy Hits the Headlines and Fizzy in the Spotlight both feature the indomitable heroine Fiona “Fizzy” Izzard, whose love of adventure sometimes lands her in hot water. The author has also penned several soccerthemed books for boys that follow the exploits of the Angels Football Club, as well as a computer-dominated whodunit series called “Internet Detectives.” In series debut Net Bandits, young readers are introduced to Tamsyn and Josh, two computer-savvy classmates whose sleuthing skills are challenged when they receive an e-mail message that they decode as a cry for help. Much of the action in the story is related through e-mail messages reproduced on the pages of the book. As a result of their work, the duo meets Rob, who is confined to a wheelchair but is nevertheless able to join the escapade. Denia Hester, writing in Booklist, called Net Bandits “a tightly plotted story”; reviewing the second book in the series, Escape Key, Hester added that familiarity with

have, but counting his large and active brood is quite a challenge. One, Two, Three, Oops! presents children with a “lively lesson in problem solving,” declared Booklist critic Lauren Peterson. Coleman has also written three well-received picture books for slightly older readers that center on a cemetery ghost. In the first title, Hank the Clank, Hank is in desperate want of a pal from the human world, but he frightens away any potential mates. With three of his spirit-world friends, he decides to haunt an elderly lady in earnest, but the woman remains comically unperturbed. Like many of Coleman’s works aimed at primary graders, Hank the Clank and its sequels, Hank Clanks Again and Hank Clanks Back, are rife with puns and word play. “Murky cartoon-style illustrations, a spiky handwritten text, and groaningly awful word play and jokes should ensure that Hank and his friends will not be short of companions of seven and upwards,” asserted School Librarian contributor Jill Bennett. Coleman explained, “I’ve written more than forty books [since my first], covering age ranges three to fourteen. They all set out, first and foremost, to entertain. Youngsters are a demanding audience and, unlike adults, do not see the point in soldiering on with a book they’re not enjoying. So, whether it be humor or adventure, fact or fiction, I try to write something that they will enjoy reading. “This is not to say that I don’t think it’s important to challenge the reader, I do. My science fiction books Weirdo’s War and Tag both focus on characters who are faced with difficult personal and moral decisions. Even my picture books—like Lazy Ozzie, about an owl who tries to trick his mother—don’t escape from this! computers is not a requirement for grasping the plot. “There’s enough real chases and narrow escapes to keep everyone happy,” she declared of Coleman’s “Internet Detectives” novels. Coleman’s books for even younger children include the picture book Lazy Ozzie. Set in a well-stocked barn, the book centers on a young owl who is uninterested in learning how to fly, preferring instead to sit and appear wise. Ozzie’s frustrated mother leaves him on a rafter one day, and tells him to be on the ground by the time she comes back; the already “wise” Ozzie simply hops down from taller to shorter animal until he reaches his goal, but his mother has secretly witnessed his ruse. “Coleman delivers the story in a comically rapid style, a crazy routine that ends in Ozzie’s comeuppance,” noted a Kirkus Reviews critic, who added that young audiences “will love and soon be able to predict the phases of Ozzie’s descent.” One, Two, Three, Oops!, another picture book by Coleman, was described as “funny” and “soothing” by a Kirkus Reviews contributor. In the story, brought to life in artwork by Gwyneth Williamson, Mr. Rabbit wants to know how many little bunnies he and Mrs. Rabbit
“If I had to advise a would-be writer, I’d say concentrate above all on developing unforgettable characters. Do this, and everything else follows. Be patient also; writing a book is like learning to juggle—it takes practice and mistakes, before everything falls into place. Oh, yes . . . and don’t take yourself too seriously. Leave it to others!”

Sidelights The first picture book Matthew Cordell illustrated was Toby and the Snowflakes, which featured a text by his wife, author Julie Halpern. The story is about a lonely young boy who spends the winter playing with snowflakes, and is then saddened when the seasons change and the snowflakes gradually melt away. As brought to life in Cordell’s gently colored cartoon art, Toby soon has a new, human friend when another boy moves into a house in his neighborhood. In School Library Journal, Margaret R. Tassia wrote that Cordell’s use of “soft, muted colors and expansive white spaces” in his cartoon illustrations “add to the lonely feeling expressed in the story and create interest.” A Publishers Weekly critic agreed, writing that “Cordell makes intelligent use of white space as he demonstrates the simple pleasures to be found in winter pastimes.” Calling Toby and the Snowflakes a “slow, quiet story,” a Kirkus Reviews

In the years since, Couch has had the opportunity to work with a variety of authors, among them Jane Yolen, John Berry, Douglas Wood, and Lynne Plourde. Noted for his controlled use of color and texture, Couch creates distinctive images; as a Publishers Weekly contributor noted in a review of his work for Berry’s First Palm Trees: An Anancy Spiderman Story, the artist’s “textured illustrations, which combine colored-pencil drawings with multi-layered acrylic washes. . . . juxtapose . . . an airy radiance with earthy umber.” The versatile artist also draws on nature in his work for Wood’s The Windigo’s Return: A North Woods Story, contribut-

ing what a Publishers Weekly critic described as “stylized, complexly textured illustrations in acrylic and colored pencil [that] create a dense atmosphere, taking readers to another time and place.” In his work for Jane Cutler’s The Cello of Mr. O, Couch transports readers to a war-torn city where a girl describes how the music created by a passionate neighbor helps to inspire all who hear it to hope for a better future. Capturing “the devastation of war in his soft-focus watercolor art, Couch also “manage[s] to overlay the everyday horrors of war with a patina of hope,” according to Booklist critic Ilene Cooper. Turning to more fanciful themes, Harry Behn’s Halloween features art in which Couch’s “play of shadow and light is remarkable, with dreamy, atmospheric double-spreads that are truly eerie at times,” according to Booklist contributor Stephanie Zvirin. In School Library Journal Wanda Meyers-Hines dubbed Halloween “stunningly colorful and perfect for the season,” while in Kirkus Reviews a contributor cited Couch’s “shadowy, atmospheric” art for helping to create “a surefire crowd-pleaser, with just the right reading on the fright scale.” In Sue Stauffacher’s Nothing but Trouble: The Story of Althea Gibson, Couch contributes what a Publishers Weekly critic described as “vivid visual lyricism.” Praising the illustrator’s “consistently stunning compositions,” the critic dubbed the book inspirational, while in School Library Journal Ann Welton concluded that “Couch’s kinetic illustrations done in acrylic with digital imaging wonderfully enhance the text.” Citing the use of “jangly, zigzagging swirls of hot colors that trail in Althea’s wake [as] . . . an effective visual representation of Althea’s restless, unfocused kinetic energy,” Horn Book critic Martha V. Parravano praised Nothing but Trouble as a “spirited, personality-centered picturebook biography.” One of Couch’s most popular illustration projects is his four-volume collaboration with Plourde on her picturebook series about the seasons. Focusing on the four children of Mother Earth and Father Time, Spring’s Sprung, Summer’s Vacation, Wild Child, and Winter Waits pair a fanciful rhyming text with colorful stylized art. In Spring’s Sprung March, April, and May are talented but competitive sisters who each flaunts her talents while arguing among themselves about who Mother Earth loves best. Summer’s Vacation follows a playful girl as she swims, hikes, and frisks about, ignoring her chores until she sees that the plants are wilting and trying through her neglect, while Wild Child revels in the windy, chilly change of seasons. In Winter Waits Couch incorporates the image of Father Time into his story about a little boy who enjoys blanketing the world in a sparkling coat of snow under his father’s watchful eye. Praising Summer’s Vacation, Wendy Woodfill wrote in School Library Journal that Couch’s “acrylic paint and colored pencil . . . illustrations glow with the shimmering heat of a sultry day and the coolness of a summer’s

evening.” Piper L. Nyman noted in the same periodical that in Spring’s Sprung the artist’s “illustrations glow with an ethereal light that beautifully matches the mood” of Plourde’s “whimsical” story. “Flowing lines and a rich palette give Couch’s billowing, starry scenes [for Winter Waits] a dreamlike quality,” wrote Booklist critic John Peters, while in School Library Journal Kathleen Kelly McMillan asserted of the book that the “sumptuous illustrations” done in saturated blues, purple, and white, “are the real attention-grabbers here.”

CRICHTON, Michael 1942-2008 (John Michael Crichton, Michael Douglas, a joint pseudonym, Jeffery Hudson)
The award was one of many: he won two Edgar Allan Poe awards from the Mystery Writers of America for his novels, and he received both an Emmy award and a George Foster Peabody Broadcasting award for ER. Crichton’s last novel was Next (2006), a story of genetics and bio-technology in which a spectacular blunder leads to catastrophe. OBITUARIES AND OTHER SOURCES: BOOKS
OBITUARY NOTICE—
See index for SATA sketch: Born October 23, 1942, in Chicago, IL; died of cancer, November 4, 2008, in Los Angeles, CA. Physician, film director, television producer, screenwriter, novelist, and author. Crichton’s name became a household word to young and old after he published his best-selling novel Jurassic Park in 1990 and turned it into a blockbuster film in 1993, but he had served a twenty-year apprenticeship by then. He had already acquired a large readership among fans of speculative and suspense fiction. Crichton wrote at least twenty novels, beginning as early as 1966, and published them under various pseudonyms until 1969. His stories covered a wide spectrum of subjects and plots, but two elements became his specialties: the ability to create intense levels of suspense and a facility for subjects in the fields of science, futuristic technology, and medicine. Crichton had begun writing while a student at the Harvard Medical School. He earned his medical degree in 1969; the same year he published the bestselling medical suspense novel The Andromeda Strain, and his career took a dramatically different turn. Crichton wrote novels with ease, and fans sped hungrily through the pages of one book after another. Even critics who sometimes faulted his dialogue and character development admitted that they were held captive by the sustained level of suspense emanating from most of his novels. Crichton often wrote about science and medicine, and his plots tended to involve technology gone awry, sometimes by accident and sometimes by design: dinosaurs brought to life and loosed on mankind, infectious germs from outer space, a brain implant that turned an epileptic patient into a monster. Occasionally he flavored his plot with a controversial topical issue, such as reverse sexual harassment in Disclosure (1994) or skepticism regarding on global climate change in State of Fear (2004). Crichton’s flair for drama led naturally to a second simultaneous career as a screenwriter (often adapting his own novels for film) and a third corollary career as a film director. In 1994 he created the popular television series ER and served as executive producer and staff writer of the hospital drama for almost fifteen years. Throughout his media adventures Crichton continued to write, including nonfiction. One nonfiction title was Five Patients: The Hospital Explained (1970), for which he was named writer of the year by the American Medical Writers Association.

and fearing for the girl’s safety, a local priest convinced Rita’s parents to disguise the preteen as a boy in order to save her from being forced to serve Japanese soldier as a “comfort woman.” With her hair cut short and wearing trousers, Rita became “Rick,” learned Japanese, and for over three years worked as a translator for the commandant of the prisoner-of-war camp where she and her family were held. Hoping to share her experiences living this dual existence, as well as describing her efforts to aid other camp inmates by using the advantages gained through her privileged position within the camp, de Clercq Zubli put pen to paper to produce Disguised: A War Memoir. Disguised received much critical praise. Janet S. Thompson wrote in School Library Journal that, while de Clercq Zubli’s memoir is best appreciated by mature teen readers, the author’s narrative “is engaging, with an authentic voice that gives substance to the facts.” According to a Kirkus Reviews writer, the narrative of Disguised is “well told in a plain, straightforward prose style, [and] the voice is that of a companionable elder relating her story so that others will know.” In Booklist, Karen Simonetti dubbed the book “a unique and moving memoir,” adding that the “naive” narrator of Disguised “remains optimistic” despite the tragedy of her situation.

But when I realized that writing was the only thing that would make me happy, that desire and passion became ‘enough’ to spur me on. Writing is a hard business.

As a picturebook illustrator, her work has been enjoyed by young readers of several books by George Shannon: White Is for Blueberry, Tippy-Toe Chick, Go!, and Rabbit’s Gift: A Fable from China. Reviewing Tippy-Toe Chick, Go!, School Library Journal contributor Joy Fleishhacker noted that Dronzek’s “colorful” images “pick up on both the humor and the tension” of Shannon’s story about a daydreaming chick who saves the day. Linda Perkins wrote in Booklist that in Tippy-Toe Chick, Go! the artist’s illustrations “reveal personality and provide the humor that tempers the [story’s] scariness.” Her work for White Is for Blueberry is “rich, vibrant, and full of child appeal,” according to Horn Book critic Martha V. Parravano, while in Rabbit’s Gift Dronzek’s “uncluttered illustrations . . . perfectly capture the action of the story,” according to Randall Enos in Booklist. “Shannon and Dronzek . . . tackle a potentially treacly subject with understated earnest and lyricism,” concluded a Publishers Weekly critic in appraising the creative collaboration between author and illustrator. Teaming up with husband and writer Kevin Henkes, Dronzek made her picture-book debut with Oh!, a book about the magic in the air after the first snowfall of winter. Described by Booklist critic Ilene Cooper as “a book with all the fun and magic that winter offers,” Oh! features “acrylic art [that] sweetly matches the unembellished text,” according to the critic, while a Publishers Weekly reviewer asserted that the artist’s “renderings swiftly evoke how snow both sharpens and softens the world.” Another collaboration with her husband, Birds, taps into a favorite subject of the artist, and one that is featured in many of her fine-art paintings.

Skin Hunger, Atheneum (New York, NY), 2007.
Sidelights Kathleen Duey is the author of more than seventy works for children and young adults. She is perhaps best known for her works of historical fiction, which are featured in the “American Diary” and “Hoofbeats” se-
32 • DUEY
ries, as well as the fantasy tales in her “Unicorn’s Secret” series. In 2007 Duey received a National Book Award nomination for Skin Hunger, part of her “Resurrection of Magic” series. “I believe that literacy—the ability to pass on stories and facts through writing and reading—is a pillar of civilization,” the author remarked in a Cynsations online interview. Duey added that “the human need for story seems endless. That happy fact diminishes my chances of ever needing a day job.” Duey grew up in Colorado, where she developed a love of reading and writing as a youngster. At the age of seventeen, she left home and moved to an isolated cabin near Aspen, where she spent more than two decades living without electricity, learning to grind flour by hand, milk a goat, and cook with a woodstove. “Living lightly on the earth was a conscious choice and one that I am glad I made,” she told Suite 101.com interviewer Sue Reichard. “There are many people who did it. I treasure the experience. It informs every historical novel I write.” Duey began her career as a children’s book author in the early 1990s with such titles as Mr. Stumpguss Is a Third-Grader and The Third Grade’s Skinny Pig. In 1996, she began her “American Diary” series for readers in grades four to six. Each work in the series takes place over the course of a single day and begins and ends with a diary entry. Mary Alice Peale: Philadelphia, 1777 chronicles the household dramas of its wellto-do title character, whose father is loyal to British monarch George III. Mary Alice’s brother, meanwhile, has run off to fight with colonial independence forces. When he is injured, she secretly helps by hiding the young man in their barn, even as the family’s Philadelphia home is host to British soldiers. In Sarah Anne Hartford: Massachusetts, 1651, Duey chronicles the fictional experience of a young girl in Salem, Massachusetts. It is the harsh Puritan era, and twelve-year-old Sarah is distraught over her widowed father’s impending marriage to the coldly righteous Mistress Goddard. Sarah’s diary entries—just two days apart—recount her tale of mischief and its consequences: On a cold winter Sunday, she and friend Elizabeth disobey their community’s strict rules about the Sabbath and play and laugh on the ice during their walk home from church services. Caught, the girls are “pilloried” as punishment, locked into the stocks standing in the Salem town square. Cold and aching, Sarah begins to question the values of her community. “The story is exciting and the characters are sympathetic,” wrote Connie Parker in School Library Journal, while Booklist critic Karen Hutt stated that Sarah Anne Hartford “personalizes the social mores and everyday life of Puritan New England.” Duey won praise from critics for providing much interesting historical detail in Sarah Anne Hartford, such as the fact that Puritans often brought their dogs to church to keep their feet warm. Similar insights are evident in Anisett Lundberg: California, 1851, a story about a
Something about the Author, Volume 199
young girl living through the California Gold Rush. Anisett’s father has died, and her mother earns a living cooking for the hard-working miners. Anisett and her brother help with the work, and one day, after delivering food by mule to the camps, Anisett is kidnapped by a bitter and desperate miner after he overhears her describing an unusual rock she has found. Susan F. Marcus, writing in School Library Journal, noted that Anisett Lundberg portrays “the view of the gold-rush culture” and “highlights the courage of those who were part of it.” Danger is also faced in Willow Chase: Kansas Territory, 1847, in which Willow is part of a wagon-train caravan full of settlers heading west across the Great Plains. Willow’s mother gives a Native American man medicine for a sick child. Later, while crossing the swollen Platte River with her family, Willow is swept away and her family assumes she is dead. Meanwhile, Willow is discovered by the same Indian her mother showed kindness to, and he gives the girl his horse so that she can rejoin her family. Booklist critic Lauren Peterson termed Willow Chase “a heartwarming family story with a likable protagonist.” A Texas cattle ranch is the setting for Ellen Elizabeth Hawkins: Mobeetie, Texas, 1886. Here, Duey’s heroine writes of her desire to follow in her father’s footsteps as a rancher, although she is strongly discouraged from such talk because of her gender. That summer, a drought arrives. With her father gone one day, Ellen’s grandfather falls at their windmill, and she proves herself through her ability to save him, fix the windmill blade, and drive their thirsty cattle to pasture. School Library Journal critic Sylvia V. Meisner called Ellen Elizabeth Hawkins a “satisfying story about a resourceful heroine” with the “grit and determination [needed] to persevere against almost overwhelming odds.” Evie Peach: St. Louis, 1857 takes place before the U.S. Civil War. The title character was once a slave, but the owner’s last will and testament freed Evie and her father. Hoping to buy her mother’s freedom, they save 750 dollars and set out for the estate where the woman works. Then Irish neighbors plot revenge for a trick Evie has played on them: They steal Evie’s mother’s emancipation papers and Evie’s parents are arrested as runaway slaves. Now Evie is their only hope. Alexia Ellery Finsdale: San Francisco, 1905 recounts the story of a young girl who lives in a boarding house with her widowed gambler father. Her landlady, a self-supporting seamstress, teaches Alexia to sew and the promise of being able to fend for herself helps Alexia make the hardest decision of her life.Reviewing Evie Peach, Booklist writer Denia Hester liked the book’s “good balance of warm, winning moments and well-plotted dramatic turns.” Celou Sudden Shout: Idaho, 1826 tells the story of a twelve-year-old girl whose mother is Shoshone and father is a fur trapper of French origin. When Celou’s mother and brother are kidnaped by hostile Crow Indi-
Something about the Author, Volume 199
ans while her father is away, Celou must follow the raiding party in order to save them. Ann W. Moore, writing in School Library Journal, called Celou Sudden Shout an “exciting adventure story [that] also conveys information about the Shoshone.” Summer MacCleary: Virginia, 1749, another title from Duey, recounts the story of an indentured servant who has been accused by the daughter of the plantation owner of stealing a valuable ring. As Summer works to clear her name and solve the mystery, she exhibits what Janet Gillen described in School Library Journal as “redeeming qualities of strength and courage.” Duey’s tales of young American girls facing danger and hardship span several decades and geographical places. Agnes May Gleason: Walsenberg, Colorado, 1933 tells the story of a young girl whose family is on the verge of losing their dairy farm because of the Great Depression. Agnes’s older brother has run away to find work elsewhere, leaving those at home to work to keep the business afloat. When her father is injured, the Gleason parents travel to see a doctor, and Agnes and her siblings decide to bottle the farm’s milk and deliver it themselves. They have a hard time controlling the horses, but persevere and avoid disaster. Coop Renner, in School Library Journal, described Agnes May Gleason as a “swiftly moving novel” with an “unusual setting and well-drawn minor characters.” Cajun country during the U.S. Civil War era is the setting for Amelina Carrett: Bayou Grand Coeur, Louisiana, 1863. An orphan, Amelina lives with her warprofiteering uncle in a Cajun swamp community. After gunfire erupts, she discovers an injured Union Army soldier and helps him despite the Cajuns’ strong sentiments against Northerners. In School Library Journal Gillen deemed this title “written with insight and sensitivity,” and liked the interesting detail about “Cajun life in the Louisiana bayou.” Gillen also commended the protagonist’s “courage and fortitude.” The glamorous world of early Hollywood is the setting of Rosa Moreno: Hollywood, California, 1928. Rosa’s late father was a Mexican actor, and she and her mother are now determined that Rosa will achieve stardom as well. The girl takes elocution lessons, visits a hair salon to achieve a set of curls similar to those of popular child star Shirley Temple, and auditions frequently. When she meets a female film director, Rosa thinks she might like to direct, too. “Duey portrays Rosa’s life vividly and realistically,” noted School Library Journal critic Susan Knell, the critic remarking on its view of the rigors endured by child actors early in the motionpicture era. The American immigrant experience is voiced in Nell Dunne: Ellis Island, 1904. Nell sails from Ireland with her family, and as her diary recounts, the journey is hardly a luxurious one: the cabins for such passengers are cramped, and there are few facilities for washing. Nell also tells of the magic she feels upon first seeing the New York City skyline, however. Duey, wrote
DUEY • 33
School Library Journal critic Alison Grant, “captures the experience of thousands of immigrants seeking freedom and fortune” on the North American continent. The experiences of Japanese Americans provides the subplot of Janey G. Blue: Pearl Harbor, 1941. Janey is from Kansas, but lives with her family near the Hawaii military base where her father works. She is curious about Akiko Fujiwara, a shy quiet neighbor near her own age. Janey and Akiko are thrown together during the confusion following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor’s military installation. In School Library Journal Elaine Lesh Morgan noted of Janey G. Blue that “the mood of fear and uncertainty is well maintained, and information about the attack is neatly interwoven” into Duey’s tale. Moonsilver, the first title in her “Unicorn’s Secret” series of chapter books, introduces Heart Avamir, an abandoned girl living in a feudal village who befriends a wounded unicorn and her colt. Duey “has written a beguiling story of love and healing in an easy-to-read style,” noted Susan Dove Lempke in Booklist, and Catherine Threadgill, writing in School Library Journal, called the work “a good alternative for children who have outgrown easy-readers but who are not quite ready for longer, denser works of fiction.” Duey continues Heart’s story in seven other books, including Mountains of the Moon and Castle Avamir. “Duey . . . shows impressive skill at weaving an intriguing fantasy with strongly realized characters and setting,” Lempke remarked in a review of Mountains of the Moon, and Elaine E. Knight, critiquing Castle Avamir for School Library Journal, stated that “the unicorn theme and the multibook serial will appeal” to young readers. Duey’s “Hoofbeats” series features four works about Katie Rose, a orphaned pioneer girl living in Iowa who develops a strong bond with a wild horse. Reviewing Katie and the Mustang, Book One, Booklist critic Kay Weisman observed that “the main story is realistic in both tone and subject.” Duey also published a quartet of books set in medieval Ireland about Lara, another determined nine year old. According to Booklist contributor Carolyn Phelan, in Lara and the Gray Mare the author “creates a convincing setting, a thoroughly likable heroine, and a strong narrative.” In another work in the “Hoofbeats” series, Silence and Lily: Boston, 1773, a young girl from a wealthy family braces for war in the colonies. “Duey draws a convincing portrayal of Silence’s family life,” Phelan noted of this chapter book. Skin Hunger, the first work in Duey’s “Resurrection of Magic” trilogy, concerns Sadima, a young woman who has the ability to speak with animals, and Hahp, a wizard’s apprentice. Employing a dual narrative, Duey follows Sadima as she joins the household of Somiss, an exile seeking to restore magic to the world with his devoted servant, Franklin. Years later, Hahp enters a magician’s academy run by a cruel, elderly Somiss and Franklin. “The pacing in this page-turner accelerates as the stories progress and links between them emerge,”
34 • DUEY
observed Diana Tixier Herald in Booklist. As Kliatt reviewer Cara Chancellor stated, “Both tales are compelling enough to have been novels in their own right, and Duey’s magical combination will appeal to nearly any semi-advanced audience.” “Duey’s view of magic is incisive and morally complex,” noted Gary K. Wolfe in Locus, adding that “if the remainder of the ‘Resurrection of Magic’ plays out at this level of intensity, it will easily take its place among those YA trilogies that ought to earn the attention of fantasy readers of any age.” Asked by Reichard why she writes for a young audience, Duey replied: “The answer keeps changing. Right now, I write for kids because I hope to influence the future of my species. I hope to keep them believing that the world is not hopeless, that they can build a human culture that enjoys and tolerates differences and makes room for every kind of intelligence.” The author concluded, “I want them to live lives that matter.”

E EATON, Maxwell, III 1981-
Eaton explained the evolution of his cartoon characters in a Books & Other Thoughts online interview. “I’d been doodling a little hairless, earless character named Max and began writing him into stories where he gets ready to go skiing or skating or drag racing or something,” he explained. “He had a little sidekick named Pinky that resembled a pig only he didn’t have legs . . . or a body . . . or a neck. Just a tail out of the back of his head. A shuffling pig head? Adorable!” Eaton developed his characters for more than a year, adding ears to Max’s head and legs to Pinky’s body. From there, he explained, “Pinky started working his way into the stories and pretty soon they were a pair. And blah, blah, blah, they’re published!”

Eaton’s road to publication was relatively smooth. He first mailed his drawings to an agent, and she found an editor who was equally captivated by his work. The first “Max and Pinky” book, Best Buds, appeared in 2007. The story centers on the two characters, who are used to getting together every Saturday for Adventure Day. One day, however, Pinky fails to appear and Max must find out what happened to his friend. A Publishers Weekly reviewer praised the book, remarking that “Eaton’s spare, vividly hued pictures—supplemented by wry asides presented in dialogue balloons—deftly deliver the simple tale’s ample humor.”

Best Buds was followed by Superheroes, in which Max and Pinky are called upon to save the world. They accomplish this by plugging an underwater volcano in order to rescue a whale, keeping an asteroid from hitting earth, and fighting with a snow monster. As Eaton asserted in a Bottom Shelf Books online interview, “The only thing these two love more than marshmallows and one-man puppet shows is throwing on the ol’ capes and saving stuff from stuff.” A Kirkus Reviews contributor predicted that Eaton’s drawings and “sublime sense of humor will undoubtedly please fans.”
Sidelights Author and illustrator Maxwell Eaton III uses his colorful drawings and sense of humor to create memorable children’s books that follow the exploits of Max, a happy-go-lucky youngster, and Pinky, his marshmallowloving pig pal. Although Eaton took art classes at St. Lawrence University, it was not until he started drawing on his own that he created the popular duo. After college, he worked as a ski instructor in Colorado, but when he realized that this was not a practical long-term career choice, Eaton began exploring his options in art.

Ellsworth’s first novel, The Shrouding Woman, focuses on Evie, a distraught eleven year old. Following the death of her mother in 1870s Minnesota, the girl’s Aunt Flo moves into Evie’s home and the youngster finds nothing to like about her. Flo is big boned, unlike Evie’s mom, and she has a strange job: preparing bodies for burial. Over the course of the book, Evie begins to make peace with the death of her mother and learns to accept Flo’s love and concern for her. To write The Shrouding Woman, Ellsworth spent many hours researching the story’s time period and the customs of shrouding. In her Henry Holt and Company interview, she remarked that she also received inspiration from a special gift: “When I was writing The Shrouding Woman, I inherited my great-great grandmother’s journal, written in the 1870’s. By the time I finished reading her journal, I felt as though I had a special connection with this woman, even though I’d never met her.” Colleen Kelly, writing in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, complimented The Shrouding Woman, noting that “Evie ultimately learns that people who choose to ease [the loss felt by others] . . . are a blessing. It’s a simple, timeless lesson, beautifully told.” In School Library Journal, Cindy Darling Codell concluded that Ellsworth’s book “gently breaks new ground for children in removing some of the mystery from what some view as our last remaining obscenity, death.” Ellsworth shifts to an entirely different era for In Search of Mockingbird, a story inspired by Harper Lee’s classic work To Kill a Mockingbird. In Search of Mocking-

bird takes place in Minnesota in 1986. Erin, nearly sixteen years of age, is upset when her father decides to get remarried. Erin’s mother died after the girl was born, and the teen does not want to lose the memory of her. Finding out that her mother’s favorite book was To Kill a Mockingbird, Erin launches a plan: She will get on a Greyhound bus and travel to Alabama to meet the novel’s author, the reclusive Lee. During her trip, Erin makes friends with several characters on the bus who act as her guardian angels. Although she does make it to Alabama, her adventure takes a quite different turn. Claire Rosser, writing in Kliatt, offered qualified praise for Ellsworth’s “quiet story,” stating that In Search of Mockingbird “won’t have wide appeal, except for YAs who love to write and are trying to find their voices.” In School Library Journal, Riva Pollard called the novel “interesting in its journal-styled layout but short on character, background, and plot development.” A critic in Kirkus Reviews gave a more positive assessment of the work, stating that Ellsworth “makes Erin’s unlikely coming-of-age trip convincing.” A Publishers Weekly reviewer found the book to be convincing and appealing to teens, stating: “Though Erin’s voice seems younger than her years, readers will root for her while reaching for a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird.” In her Henry Holt and Company interview, Ellsworth offered advice to people interested in a writing career: “My recommendation to young writers is to work hard learning about writing, to write as often as you can, and to pay attention to the world around you. And, of course, keep a journal. You’ll treasure it when you’re older.”

Peter Ferguson is a comic-book and editorial artist based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Ferguson has also served as the illustrator for a number of young-adult novels and children’s books, including the works in Michael Buckley’s popular “Sisters Grimm” series. Ferguson’s witty, expressive, and at times eerie art has earned praise from numerous critics.
Career Artist and illustrator. Exhibitions: Work has appeared at L’Autre Galerie, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Illustrator
One of Ferguson’s early book-illustration projects, The Boy Who Cried Fabulous by Lesléa Newman, centers on Roger, a youngster who finds wonder in every corner of his world. On his way to school one day, for instance, Roger is mesmerized by the clothing displayed in a department-store window, and he winds arriving up late to class. Then, the boy becomes so distracted on his way home that he reaches his house after dark. Although Roger’s parents ban the word “fabulous” from their son’s vocabulary, they learn that his enthusiasm simply cannot be squelched. “Roger, with his red hair, eager face, and exuberant personality, fits right into the old-fashioned setting depicted in [Ferguson’s] . . . artwork,” observed Linda L. Walkins in a School Library Journal review of The Boy Who Cried Fabulous. A Publishers Weekly contributor similarly noted that the hero’s “shockwave of red hair and high-cheeked, brighteyed face brings to mind Superman’s Jimmy Olsen or one of Our Gang.”

ers—including Snow White, the Three Little Pigs, and Rumpelstiltskin—are now watched over by Grimm’s descendants, Sabrina and Daphne, and the girls find themselves embroiled in mystery, magic, and mischief. Reviewing The Sisters Grimm: The Fairy-Tale Detectives, the first book in the series, School Library Journal critic Sharon Grover reported that Ferguson’s “softly rounded, black-and-white illustrations and old-fashioned silhouettes . . . complete the first-rate design of this madcap adventure.” A critic in Kirkus Reviews praised the artist’s efforts in The Sisters Grimm: The Problem Child, noting that his “occasional theatrical illustrations . . . are as clever as ever.” In other illustration work, Ferguson has collaborated with Marion Dane Bauer on a pair of supernatural thrillers: The Red Ghost and The Green Ghost. Critiquing The Red Ghost, which centers on a young girl and her haunted doll, School Library Journal reviewer Debbie S. Hoskins remarked that Ferguson’s “humorously spooky pencil illustrations” contribute another layer of entertainment to Bauer’s narrative.

Anybodies, readers are introduced to Fern Drudger, an imaginative twelve year old who learns that she was accidentally given to the wrong parents at birth. Fern’s real parents, the Anybodies, were shapeshifters, and her widowed biological father, who has lost his transformative abilities, now asks the girl to help him recover his powers. Along the way, Fern discovers a special talent of her own: she can literally shake characters from the pages of a book. “Eye-catching, black-and-white sketches echo the story’s nuances and add to the atmosphere,” Mara Alpert wrote in her School Library Journal review of The Anybodies. Fern’s further adventures are chronicled in The Nobodies and The Somebodies. Quinby Frank, reviewing The Somebodies for School Library Journal, praised Ferguson’s images, remarking that the artist’s “old-fashioned-looking black-and-white sketches contribute to the feel of a classic children’s book.” Humans and fairytale creatures coexist in a small New York town in Buckley’s “Sisters Grimm” tales.

from flying fish and a massive green octopus to mermaids. Foreman’s story finds a young girl named Chloe visiting her grandparents’ fish restaurant. Maya’s Fresh Fish Diner is Chloe’s favorite spot because of the stories she hears told there by her Grandpa Jack. Whenever a customer asks Jack to relate the history of one of his many tattoos, the elderly man lapses into a tall tale that quickly takes to the high seas. Noting that Foreman’s pen-and-watercolor artwork is fascinating in its detail, Kirsten Cutler added in her School Library Journal review of Grandpa Jack’s Tattoo Tales that “children will relish this amusing tall tale and delight in its visual elements.” “As ‘tats’ are appearing up and down family trees these days, this welltold tale might spur children to inquire about the ones their own relatives sport,” concluded a Kirkus Reviews writer in an appraisal of Grandpa Jack’s Tattoo Tales, and in Booklist Michael Cart dubbed the picture book “a whimsical, action-packed debut, filled with kidfriendly . . . pictures.”

Sidelights In addition to her career as an illustrator specializing in wildlife, Sarah Fox-Davies also takes on the role of author in her self-illustrated picture book Little Caribou. Set in the northernmost reaches of North America, Little Caribou follows a caribou calf from birth in the Arctic spring through his herd’s summer migration to the tundra and their move to the more-protected southern forests during the snowy months. According to Booklist critic Julie Corsaro, Fox-Davies’ “simple yet evocative story offers a very beginning science lesson” that focuses on the changing seasons and diverse natural environments. The author/illustrator’s “close-up views of the animals are softly realistic,” wrote Horn Book critic Margaret A. Bush, “while wider views of the herd are reminiscent of cave drawings.” “Energy and beauty mark the evocative watercolors,” Bush added, “spreading spare, seasonal vistas across [the book’s] . . . pages.” Fox-Davies’ work for other writers includes such picture books as Tabitha by A.N. Wilson, Do Rabbits Have Christmas? by Aileen Fisher, Martin Waddell’s Snow Bears, and Bat Loves the Night by Nicola Davies. Described by Horn Book contributor Claire Gross as “a pastoral, slightly nostalgic conception of a peaceful winter with Christmas its centerpiece,” Do Rabbits Have Christmas? collects fifteen poems by the late author, each brought to life by Fox-Davies’ “soft-edged penciland-watercolor illustrations” featuring snowy winter scenes. The artist creates “endearing paintings [that] reflect the childlike tone and quiet appreciation of nature inherent in the verse,” wrote Carolyn Phelan in her Booklist review of Do Rabbits Have Christmas? In Snow Bears Waddell’s playful story about a loving bear family is paired with Fox-Davies’ “realistically rendered” watercolor and pencil images, which “skillfully” depict Mother Bear and her playful cubs “without anthropomorphizing them,” according to a Kirkus Reviews writer.

FRANK, John Personal Male.
Addresses Home—Redmond, WA.
Career Children’s book author.
Awards, Honors Blue Ribbon designation, Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, 2008, for The Toughest Cowboy.
In his first book for children, John Frank took an unusual approach: he used poetry to introduce a fascinating subject from ancient history. In The Tomb of the Boy King he captures the mystery and excitement experienced in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter upon discovering the riches hidden for centuries in the supposedly cursed tomb of Egyptian King Tutankhamen. With illustrations by Tom Pohrt, the book’s “text is full and dynamic, packing in an amazing amount of information,” according to Booklist contributor Ilene Cooper. “Style, information, design, drama, humor—here’s a book whose many fine qualities all recommend it for a multitude of uses,” concluded a Horn Book critic, also in praise of The Tomb of the Boy King. Frank has continued to create poetry collections designed to attract even verse-averse young readers, producing How to Catch a Fish, A Chill in the Air: Nature Poems for Fall and Winter, and Keepers: Treasure-Hunt Poems. The thirty short poems he gathers in Keepers focus on people’s tendency to collect simple objects. Verses are grouped under the headings “In the Attic,” “At the Beach,” “At the Flea Market,” “Beneath the Ground,” and “In the Mountains and Desert,” and they pair with artistic photographs by Ken Robbins. Sprinkled with a colorful assortment of objects, from puppets and comic books to a fossil and ancient arrowheads, Frank’s “appealing look at one man’s treasures . . . spread the joy of discovery that makes collecting fun,” according to School Library Journal critic Nancy Palmer. Combining what a Kirkus Reviews writer described as “deft poetry and impressionistic scenes of anglers worldwide,” How to Catch a Fish finds Frank waxing poetic about a favorite pastime among people of all ages living all around the world. The thirteen firstperson verses take readers from Baffin Island, north of the Canadian mainland, to New Caledonia, New

England, Namibia, and coastal Japan, showing the ties that bind parents and children while sharing an intricate sport. The “pairing of [illustrator Peter Sylvada’s] Turner-esque seascapes and [Frank’s] tight, lyric language promises to both intrigue and challenge readers,” noted a Publishers Weekly contributor in reviewing How to Catch a Fish. In A Chill in the Air Frank follows the slow changes that transform the earth during the cooler seasons in poems that feature “occasional flights of imaginative imagery, plus redeeming flashes of humor,” according to a Kirkus Reviews writer. According to School Library Journal critic Lee Bock, Frank’s “evocative” verses incorporate “fresh images” and sometimesprovocative themes to produce a volume with “definite child appeal.” In addition to poetry, Frank has also dabbled in prose, creating several picture books. Erin’s Voyage, a story featuring illustrations by Dena Schutzer, introduces a young girl who takes an imaginative journey back in time after finding an antique doll in her grandfather’s attic. According to a Publishers Weekly critic, the author’s story is “textured with mystery and wonder” and his “fluid language carefully renders the many moods of the sea and wind” at the core of Erin’s adventure. Frank introduces a quirky Wild West hero in The Toughest Cowboy; or, How the Wild West Was Tamed. Brought to life in illustrations by Zachary Pullen, Grizz Brickbottom seems to have Tabasco sauce running through his veins; a tall-tale hero, he exudes toughness, until he decides to get a dog and winds up with Foofy, a miniature poodle, as a companion. “Tall tales this enjoyable are hard to find,” concluded School Library Journal critic Blair Christolon, the critic adding that Pullen’s detailed paintings “will transport the audience to the Big Sky Country of the 1860s.”

Personal Born in OH; married; children: two.
Before, After, and Somebody in Between follows the troubled life of Martha, a tenth grader facing many challenges. Martha’s mother is an alcoholic, the school bully is after her, and she encounters senseless violence that tears apart an important friendship. Fortunately, the teen is helped by a wealthy lawyer who becomes her foster parent. Although she changes her name to Gina in an attempt to reinvent herself, the new identity backfires, and when Martha returns home to live with her seemingly reformed mother, she engages in high-risk behavior that alienates those around her. “It would’ve been easy to allow her to be taken in by a ‘perfect’ family and live happily ever after, Garsee commented to Slayground, “but as she finds out, no family is perfect. As Gina, she’s given everything she dreamed of—but, most importantly, the rare gift of learning two important things: That she is capable of loving, and being loved; and that even the most ‘wonderful’ people in the world are not without fault; rich or poor, educated or not, everyone has problems and everyone makes very bad decisions, often with permanent consequences.”

Sidelights “Even before I learned the alphabet,” remarked youngadult novelist Jeannine Garsee on her home page, “I was making stories up in my head.” Garsee’s knack for storytelling combined with her decision to be a writer, and her novels Before, After, and Somebody in Between and Say the Word are the result.
Cindy Dobrez, writing in Booklist, felt that while some of the plot twists in Before, After, and Somebody in Between do not seem authentic, “readers are left with hope that Martha will always find her way.” Although a Kirkus Reviews contributor thought that Martha at times seems unsympathetic, the critic added that Garsee’s “gritty story has great appeal.”
Garsee’s desire to write was constant throughout school. In a TeensReadToo interview, she remarked: “I think the very ‘moment’ I knew that I wanted to be a writer came when I was in the 4th grade and we had to write a story for class. Being a horse nut, I wrote (and illustrated) a story about a boy and his horse, and read it out loud to the class—to rave reviews! God, did THAT ever go to my head!” She also wrote several unpublished novels in high school and had fun penning novelizations of her favorite movies. She had such a passion for writing, she
Garsee feels strongly that teens who are involved in abusive situations, like Martha, should seek help. She hopes that her novel will empower some people to make changes. As she remarked on the Class of 2k7 Web site: “If your parent, or another family member, is suffering from alcohol and/or drug addiction, this is NOT YOUR FAULT. Period. I can’t stress this enough. And in order to keep their sickness from destroying your own life, 45

sometimes you have to make very difficult decisions. It’s never easy, but it’s a way to survive. Never give up your dreams to save someone who refuses to save themself.” Garsee’s teen novel Say the Word concerns another teen undergoing dramatic changes. After the unexpected death of her estranged mother, who left the family years ago to move in with her lesbian lover, seventeen-yearold Shawna Gallagher finds herself thrown into the lives of her mother’s “new” family in ways she never could have imagined. For Garsee, young adults continue to inspire her creativity. “Secretly I’m very envious of teens: they have their whole lives ahead of them, with so many possibilities,” she confessed on the Class of 2k7 Web site. “There will never be another time when the decisions they make will affect their whole future, and this ‘power’ they hold, often unknowingly, is mind-boggling to me. They have amazing, sometimes seemingly unreachable dreams, and often find little encouragement from their families and peers. If I can write something that’ll help them take their own dreams more seriously, then maybe what I write will make a difference in their lives—and, hopefully, in their future.”

GIBSON, William 1914-2008 (William Mass) OBITUARY NOTICE—
See index for SATA sketch: Born November 13, 1914, in New York, NY; died November 25, 2008, in Stockbridge, MA. Dramatist, screenwriter, poet, novelist, and
author. Gibson’s first-known play debuted in Topeka, Kansas, in 1943. Nearly fifteen years passed before his most stunning television play, The Miracle Worker, was broadcast on Playhouse 90 in 1957. Starring Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft, the play moved to the Broadway stage in 1959, winning the Antoinette Perry (Tony) Award for best play of the year. The Miracle Worker has been staged countless times since, by professional companies, in repertory, and at community theaters and schools throughout the United States. The screenplay, also written by Gibson, received an Academy award nomination for best screen adaptation in 1962. The story of blind and deaf child Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan remains a powerful testimony to Gibson’s skill, as well as to the gifted and determined women whose true story remains an inspiration. Another play, Two for the Seesaw, a romantic comedy featuring Bancroft and Henry Fonda, reached Broadway in 1958; it too received an Antoinette Perry award nomination but did not win the award that year. Gibson developed a reputation for the strong roles he created for women. He wrote plays about William Shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway, and about President John Adams and his wife Abigail. He wrote about Anne Hutchinson, who came to America in 1634 as an obedient member of the Puritan community and was later banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for her radical religious beliefs and her support of women’s issues. He wrote two plays about former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir. He even wrote musicals, including a libretto under the pseudonym William Mass. After the success of The Miracle Worker, it was suggested that Gibson could achieve both fame and fortune as a screenwriter, but he reportedly preferred the freedom of writing for the stage and retaining control over his own creations. His plays were produced in theaters large and small, in New York City and small-town New England, and on the road. He was a cofounder of the Berkshire, Massachussetts, Theater Festival in 1966, and some of his work was later produced there. Gibson wrote many plays between 1943 and 2002, but he was also a novelist, poet, short story writer, and nonfiction writer. His poetry was collected in Winter Crook (1948), and his debut novel was The Cobweb (1954). Gibson continued to write even into his eighties and nineties. His lastknown play was Golda’s Balcony (2002), a one-act monologue based on his full-length but only moderately successful Broadway play Golda (1977). Golda’s Balcony was well received by critics and adapted as a film starring Valerie Harper in 2007. OBITUARIES AND OTHER SOURCES: BOOKS

Eve “a poignant tale with endearing characters” in which “Going realistically portrays the different ways that people grieve and the emotions accompanying loss.” “Believably and with delicacy, Going paints a suspenseful story suffused with the poignant questions of what it means to be alive, and what might await on the other side,” commented Susan Dove Lempke in her Horn Book review of the middle-grade novel. Sixteen-year-old Iggy Corso, the star of Saint Iggy, takes it in stride when he is expelled from high school; after all, neither his long-gone mom or his stoner dad cares a whit. Leaving his dad a note, the teen leaves home to make a new life for himself. His innate wisdom as well as his street smarts help Iggy survive in his city environment, and his travels take him from the lap of luxury to the party scene to church while his best friend Mo falls into a drug-addled lifestyle. Calling Saint Iggy “touching and understandable,” Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy contributor Sara Ann Schettler praised Iggy’s engaging narrative, adding that “teens will identify Going’s portrayals of unsympathetic teachers, parents, and authority figures.” In the author’s “most impressive achievement yet,” Going “delivers a powerful anti-drug story without being preachy,” wrote a Publishers Weekly reviewer, the critic adding that “Iggy’s perceptions call into question readers’ own sense of society’s structure and inner workings.” Going “grounds her story in grim, realistic urban details,” wrote Booklist critic Gillian Engberg, and the teen’s “first-person voice is earnest, angry, sarcastic, and filled with small insights.”
ing the cautious preteen tap into the strength of friends and family as well as the example of civil rights leaders such as the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. to quell his fears. “The characters here are funny and brave and drawn with candor and immediacy,” wrote Booklist critic Hazel Rochman, while Coop Renner noted in School Library Journal that in The Liberation of Gabriel King “Going deftly balances the ugly face of racism with the more powerful forces of understanding.” “Strong voice, lively dialogue, humor and important themes make this a winner,” concluded a Kirkus Reviews writer of the novel. When eleven-year-old Evie Adler and her recently widowed dad move from suburban Michigan to upstate New York in The Garden of Eve, they hope to override what local residents call a curse that has prevented the apple trees on their property from bearing fruit. As father and daughter attempt to resuscitate their new orchard, Evie is given an unidentified seed for her eleventh birthday. The tree that grows from this special seed grows quickly, and while watching it Evie’s optimism and faith in life’s magic is restored. Writing in School Library Journal, Daniella Serra called The Garden of
On her home page, Going explained that her fiction is based on the feelings she experienced while growing up. “I try to tap into the extreme ends of the emotional spectrum. I’m not as interested in the stable feelings in the middle. I take the best and worst feelings and try to make those emotions come alive through my characters.”

Sidelights A Maryland-based journalist and editor with a lifelong passion for marine biology, Fran Hodgkins expanded her writing career into book-length works with the publication of Animals among Us: Living with Suburban Wildlife. A nature book for children, Animals among Us was described by Booklist critic Carolyn Phelan as an “intriguing” as well as “engaging and informative” work that objectively views the way natural habitats adapt to the spread of human neighborhoods and the problem that living at close quarters with wild animals can cause. Despite its comprehensive appendix, the book “is not meant to be a field guide,” cautioned a Horn Book contributor, the critic adding that Hodgkins’ text serves as a “serious consideration of the effect of urban sprawl . . . on the environment.” While Arwen Marshall noted “the lack of visual appeal” in Animals among Us, the critic nonetheless wrote in School Library Journal that Hodgkins’ book ranks as a “thoroughly researched, serviceable tool” for young naturalists. Winner of the Henry Bergh Children’s Book Award from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, The Orphan Seal described the efforts of rescue scientists to capture and care for a harbor seal pup that washed up on Maine’s rocky coast during a spring storm. The Seal Rescue Program at Boston’s New England Aquarium cared for the orphaned pup, treating it at the aquarium before successfully releasing it off the coast of Cape Cod. Another true-to-life seal story, Andre: The Famous Harbor Seal, narrates the experiences of Maine harbor master Harry Goodridge after he adopted a stranded seal pup in 1961. Enhanced by illustrations by Yetti Frenkel, Hodgkins’ “unvarnished” narrative “makes the final moments of the account unexpectedly touching,” according to School Library Journal critic Kathleen Kelly MacMillan. Another sea-related title, Between the Tides, uses paintings by Maine artist Jim Sellers to expand Hodgkins’ text about life in a coastal tide pool, where creatures from periwinkles and sea worms to crabs, mussels, and lobsters must adapt to a constantly shifting environment. A seaside town is the setting for The Cat of Strawberry Hill: A True Story, in which Hodgkins imagines the early history of Pumpkin the cat, who adopted coastal Maine’s Strawberry Hill Seaside Inn after becoming separated from her human family as a kitten. In Booklist Ilene Cooper praised The Cat of Strawberry Hill as “nicely told” and “one of those small stories that children often take to their hearts,” while Linda L. Walkins described it as “a straightforward story with a happy ending” in her School Library Journal review. In addition to her stand-alone picture books, Hodgkins is also the author of several installments in the “Scientists in the Field,” “Land of Liberty,” and “Let’s Read and Find Out” science-book series. Part of the “Land of Liberty” series, Iowa introduces the climate, topography, wildlife, and human history of this western state, which shares a minute international border with Canada.

Her contribution to the acclaimed “Scientists in the Field” series, The Whale Scientists: Solving the Mystery of Whale Strandings, informs readers about the efforts biologists have made to understand the habits of one of the largest of Earth’s mammals. In addition to what Horn Book critic Kitty Flynn referred to as “a fascinating description of the evolution of modern whales,” The Whale Scientists explores the ways humans have harmed the species through what School Library Journal critic Margaret Bush described as Hodgkins’ “impressive[ly]” researched and “well-organized discussion.”

Sidelights Mary Tavener Holmes, a writer and historian who specializes in eighteenth-century French art, is the author of My Travels with Clara, a picture book illustrated by Jon Cannell. Based on a true story, the work centers on Donwe Van der Meer, an eighteenth-century Dutch sea captain, and his most unusual pet, a 5,000-pound rhinoceros named Clara. Orphaned as a baby, Clara was raised in India and later sold to Van der Meer, who sailed back to the Netherlands with the animal and, with the aid of a specially constructed horse-drawn carriage, exhibited her across Western Europe, where she was greeted by numerous heads of state. During her tour, Clara met Prussian king Frederick the Great in Berlin, inspired a wild new hairdo in Paris, had her portrait painted at Versailles, lost her horn in Rome, and celebrated carnival with the residents of Venice. Narrated by Van der Meer, Holmes’ fictional account of the Dutch captain’s journey with Clara “affectionately tells of his kindness, [and] his bond with his extraordinary companion,” Hazel Rochman noted in Booklist. A contributor to Kirkus Reviews also offered praise for My Travels with Clara, stating that Holmes’ picture book offers young children a “glimpse of a time when Europeans were at last awakening to the world’s size and wonder.”

Sidelights Avi Katz, an American-born Israeli artist, illustrator, and cartoonist, has provided the artwork for more than one hundred books, including The Boy from Seville by Dorit Orgad and The Best Hanukkah Ever by Barbara Diamond Goldin. In addition to creating art for children’s books, Katz was selected to illustrate the JPS Illustrated Children’s Bible, a much-anticipated volume produced by the Jewish Publication Society that was highly acclaimed by critics. The recipient of numerous awards for his work, Katz has also served as staff artist for the Jerusalem Report, a bimonthly news magazine, since 1990, and also helped designed a number of educational games and performed multimedia work for such companies as Edunetics and Compedia. Katz collaborated with writer Sandy Eisenberg Sasso on the picture book God Said Amen, a story about two prideful but foolish rulers. Each night the grand prince from the Kingdom of Midnight prays for oil so his residents may light their lamps. Meanwhile, the grand princess from the Kingdom of the Desert prays for water to

nourish those living in her dry land. The two rulers ultimately realize that they can help each other, but when they meet neither wants to be the first to ask for assistance, and so they are both turned to stone. Tali Balas, writing in School Library Journal, complimented the artist’s “use of lush blues and purples for the Kingdom of Midnight and golden yellows for the Kingdom of the Desert” in this work for young readers. Barbara Diamond Goldin’s The Best Hanukkah Ever, another picture book featuring Katz’s art, centers on the somewhat confused efforts of the Knoodle family members to celebrate the Jewish holiday. “Details in Katz’s pastel-colored digital illustrations give the Knoodles real personality,” Horn Book critic Rachel L. Smith noted, and a Publishers Weekly contributor stated that the “revved-up expressions and high-wattage palette” which characterizes the artwork in The Best Hanukkah Ever provide a good deal of humor. Set in seventeenth-century Spain, The Boy from Seville is a novel by Orgad that was originally published in Hebrew. The story concerns Manuel, a Jewish young-

ster whose family practices Christianity in order to escape the persecution of the Catholic inquisition. “The Inquisition can be a dramatic setting for historical fiction, and Katz’s pen-and-ink illustrations heighten the drama,” Renee Steinberg reported in a School Library Journal review of the English translation of Orgad’s novel.

Sidelights A former journalist and playwright, Robert Kinerk is the author of the humorously titled picture books Clorinda and Timothy Cox Will Not Change His Socks. “I feel that the best stories track the way a child sees the world, and the hopes he has for himself in it, or the fears he or she may have,” Kinerk stated in an essay on his home page. “I think a story that says, ‘You’re not the only one who feels that way, so you don’t have to feel strange,’ is one that’s worth telling.” Kinerk’s debut work for children, Slim and Miss Prim, centers on a mild-mannered cowpoke and his bossy employer. While he is tending to his herd, a band of rustlers kidnaps Slim and steals the cattle belonging to the herd’s owner, Miss Marigold Prim. The determined woman rides off to the rescue, but when she locates the bandits, she is taken captive as well. The bad guys are in for a surprise, however, as Miss Prim’s constant reminders about brushing their teeth, keeping their appointments, and darning their socks prove to be too much for them to handle. A critic in Publishers Weekly complimented Kinerk’s lyrical narrative, stating that “most of his rhymed couplets will roll right off the tongue.”

missing a beat, Kinerk’s rhyming text celebrates friendship and cooperation,” Gay Lynn Van Vleck wrote in School Library Journal. A youngster tests his limits—not to mention the patience of his friends and family—in Timothy Cox Will Not Change His Socks. In the work, a young boy issues himself a challenge: he will wear the same pair of socks for one entire month. After just a few days, however, the boy’s smelly socks begin to turn heads. Although Timothy is eventually banned from school, he will not deviate from his plan. “The long rhyming text is hilarious,” Marianne Saccardi wrote in her School Library Journal review of Kinerk’s fast-moving picture book, and Booklist reviewer Gillian Engberg observed that “many kids will delight in the story’s gross details.”

Robert Kinerk introduces a cow of a different sort in his amusing picture book Clorinda, featuring artwork by Steven Kellogg. (Illustration copyright © 2003 by Steven Kellogg. Reproduced by permission of Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Macmillan.)
Kinerk has teamed with celebrated illustrator Steven Kellogg for a pair of books about a farm animal that aspires to greatness. In Clorinda, the title character, a rotund cow, heads to New York City to pursue her dream of becoming a ballerina. Though she initially suffers rejection, Clorinda refuses to quit, waiting tables and auditioning relentlessly until she lands a role in Giselle. After she flattens her dance partner, however, the cow returns home, where she finds a practical use for her dancing skills. “Kinerk’s verse gambols merrily along,” remarked a contributor in Kirkus Reviews, and Kristin de Lacoste reported in School Library Journal that the tale “is sure to produce many chuckles from youngsters who will delight in Clorinda’s dreams of stardom.” In Clorinda Takes Flight Kinerk’s adventurous bovine returns and decides that she wants to take to the air. With the help of Len, a kindly farmhand, and Hop, a friendly pig, Clorinda pilots a makeshift plane, rocket, and helicopter, all with predictably disastrous results. Using garments from Len’s clothesline, the trio then constructs a hot-air balloon that sails to England, where Clorinda and Hop are greeted by the queen. “Never

After establishing her writing career in the mid-1990s with adult science fiction as well as horror novels and her avant-garde short fiction, Michigan-based author Kathe Koja began penning novels geared for a teen readership with straydog. Her books for young-adult readers, which also include Buddha Boy, Talk, Going Under, Kissing the Bee, and Headlong, have been praised for their sensitivity in dealing with marginalized yet creative teen protagonists who are put in the position of facing hard decisions and confronting harsh realities. “Koja is a writer who almost writes short prose poems rather than tell a linear story,” observed Myrna Marler in a Kliatt review of Kissing the Bee. Her “prose is subtle and demonstrates the complexity of . . . human . . . relationships.”

In straydog teenager Rachel feels like something of a stray herself. Volunteering at a local animal shelter, she encounters a feral collie mix that has been brought in, and names the wild and untamable animal Grrl. Writing about the dog in a language arts class, Rachel attracts the attention of her teacher as well as that of fellow student Griffin, who “sees Rachel’s rage, solitude, and talent—her real self,” according to Booklist contributor

Gillian Engberg. Tragically, Grrl eventually attacks workers at the shelter and is put down, whereupon Rachel falls apart emotionally. At first attempting to destroy the shelter, she eventually realizes, with Griffin’s help, that writing about Grrl will allow her to remain true to the animal’s spirit; Grrl was too abused to be tamed. Paula Rohrlick, writing in Kliatt, praised straydog as a “short, swift read” that is “packed full of emotion.” A critic for Kirkus Reviews added that “fans of tales about teen writers, or stories with animal themes, will pant after this.” Similarly, a contributor to Publishers Weekly described straydog as a “solid if sometimes familiar tale of a high school misfit” that presents teen readers with a “compelling and sympathetic” protagonist in Rachel. Farida S. Dowler, writing in School Library Journal, noted that Koja’s presentation of Rachel’s growing “friendship with Griffin has romantic tension, but transcends high-school stereotypes,” while in Horn Book Jennifer M. Brabander concluded that the novel is a “fast but semi-sophisticated read for teens who haven’t outgrown dog stories.” In Buddha Boy Koja introduces readers to another teen outsider, Jinsen, who as the new boy in a suburban high school must deal with the school bullies and find his place in the school’s social hierarchy. A sophomore, Jinsen comes across to everyone as a square peg; his real name is Michael Martin, but he has changed his name and shaved his head due to his Buddhist beliefs. The fact that he engages in strange behavior, such as begging for his lunch, does not endear him to the socially wary Justin. However, when the two teens are teamed up by their teacher, Justin begins to appreciate the new boy and becomes familiar with Jinsen’s spiritual beliefs and practices. Ultimately, his defense of “Buddha Boy” earns Justin a measure of derision from the popular crowd. Reviewing Buddha Boy in Publishers Weekly, a critic observed that, by using Justin’s flashbacks to narrate her novel, Koja “accomplishes quite a feat,” presenting a “compelling introduction to Buddhism and a credible portrait of how true friendship brings out the best in people.” Likewise, Coop Renner, writing in School Library Journal, found Buddha Boy to be “quickly paced, inviting, and eye-opening,” as well as a “marvelous addition to YA literature.” Horn Book contributor Peter D. Sieruta commended the novel’s “original, offbeat voice,” while in the Bloomsbury Review Susanne Lansing dubbed the work “a perceptive read involving karma, catharsis, and the fears and frustrations of high school alliances.” Koja continued to create provocative teen fiction with The Blue Mirror, a “cautionary tale of infatuation” in which the author’s “writing talent . . . reaches remarkable fruition,” according to Booklist reviewer Debbie Carton. A characteristically misfit protagonist, seventeen-year-old Maggy, wishes she were invisible at

school, where she is failing, and the rest of her life doesn’t seem much better. After taking care of her beloved cat and her alcoholic mother, her only happiness comes from sitting in a booth at the Blue Mirror Café and sketching. There she meets the handsome runaway, Cole, an edgy risk taker who tells Maggy that he loves her. Although her friend Casey senses that Cole is just using Maggy to cover his petty criminal activity, the wary Maggy falls in love. Praising The Blue Mirror as an “eerie, psychologically gripping urban tale” similar to the work of author Francesca Lia Block, a Publishers Weekly reviewer added that in her story “Koja explores the confusion between infatuation and real love—in all its cruelty and its redemptive powers.” In the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, a reviewer made special note of Koja’s protagonist, writing that “Maggy’s voice is articulate, controlled, and self-aware, which makes for intriguing reading.” Of the novel, Koja noted on her home page: “The Blue Mirror is concerned with vision, the way we see—or sometimes refuse to see—what’s right in front of us, and what can happen when we open our eyes.” Kit Webster is the main character in Talk, and when he gets the lead in the school play, the experience of acting allows the teen to express a hidden part of himself: his

homosexuality. Meanwhile, because of its political nature the play has stirred up controversy in the community, prompting Kit and his female costar, the popular and snobby Lindsay Walsh, to team up and rally support behind the play. Their romantic on-stage relationship soon seeps into their off-stage lives, forcing each of the teens to reexamine his or her own reality. In Horn Book, Marika L. Hoe commented on Koja’s “poetic stream-of-consciousness style,” which captures Kit and Lindsay’s efforts to “try to make sense of their thoughts and feelings.” In Booklist Michael Cart praised Koja’s characterization of Kit as “interesting and sympathetic enough to hold the reader’s attention,” then went on to conclude that the conclusion of Talk “is both life-and self-affirming.” In Going Under Koja examines the complex relationship between two siblings through alternating chapters, grounding her story in the Greek myths of Persephone and Echo and Narcissus. Homeschooled, narrators Ivan and Ivan’s sister Hilly are now in high school, and Hilly hopes to expand her world by volunteering to work on a magazine at the local high school. New friends for Hilly means that Ivan becomes a less-important part of his younger sister’s world. Then the suicide of one of
Something about the Author, Volume 199
these new friends sends Hilly on an emotional tailspin. Suddenly Ivan’s involvement with Hilly’s unscrupulous psychiatrist allows him to reestablish his unhealthy control over his sister. Koja’s “harrowing, intense tale has a vividly drawn cast,” noted GraceAnne A. DeCandido in a Booklist review of Going Under, while a Publishers Weekly critic wrote that the novelist “crafts some striking moments in connecting the two siblings’ chapters.” These chapters “create a constant dual perspective that . . . raise[s] fascinating questions about the complex layers of truth and identity that can exist within a single person,” concluded Horn Book critic Claire E. Gross. “Poetic, realistic, and filled with memorable characters,” Kissing the Bee “captures first love’s exquisite, earth-shattering joy and the struggle and thrill that come with claiming one’s own life,” according to Booklist critic Gillian Engberg. In the novel, high-school seniors Dana and Avra, as well as Avra’s boyfriend Emil, are involved in a complex relationship: Avra and Emil are conspiring to elope, and Dana is helping them despite the fact that she is also in love with Emil. While enmeshed in the couple’s plans, Dana is also working on a science project involving honeybees, and as both the project and the subterfuge evolve, she observes and learns from the similarities between them. Meshing Dana’s report with the unfolding story, Koja “eloquently conveys the fog of melancholy and apprehension that surrounds” the teen, observed Horn Book critic Christine M. Heppermann, the reviewer adding that “even a lowly worker can ascend to the throne.” Calling Kissing the Bee a “spare and haunting novel,” a Publishers Weekly reviewer added that “each line of dialogue, each interaction [between characters] illuminat[es] . . . struggles that readers face as well.” In Homecoming sophomore Lily Noble is pulled off the path of her popular and privileged circle of friends with the arrival of punk-rocker Hazel, the new scholarship student who has reluctantly enrolled at Lily’s private boarding school. As the friendship between the girls grows, Lily is able to channel her inner restlessness by following Hazel’s subversive lead and ultimately breaks with the expectations of family and longstanding friends. Calling Homecoming an “intelligent novel,” a Publishers Weekly critic added that Koja’s non-linear story reflects “her usual insight and . . . ability to project multiple perspectives simultaneously.” “Koja’s characteristically poetic style” enriches the novel, according to Kliatt critic Myrna Marler, the critic adding that Homecoming “illustrates the passion one girl can have diving headlong into a risky friendship.” “Teen girls passing through a tentative dark and edgy phase will . . . claim this book as their own,” concluded Booklist contributor Andrew Medlar, while in School Library Journal Nancy Menaldi-Scanlan wrote that Homecoming provides “an in-depth look at how real friendships demand a soul-searching dive beneath the nature of one’s own feelings while trying to understand the complexity of another’s.”

Koja once told SATA: “That’s one of the greatest gifts about writing for young people: the chance to re-
Something about the Author, Volume 199
examine that intense, bewildering, exhilarating age, the Everest range of highs and lows, the feeling of time stretching out before us, limitless and free. There’s no season in our lives when we are more possible: as human beings, moving creatures in a world so much larger than we are; as individuals, capable of evil or of good, or of both. When we’re young our hearts are still wide open, our minds not yet fossilized into predictable reactions; change is daily and inevitable. For a writer, this is enormously exciting, because in a place like Youth anything can happen. “Another limitless zone is the world of art. In all my stories and novels, art is central to the characters’ lives: they sketch, write stories, act onstage, find and lose themselves again and again in the process of creation. As artists, they’re responsible to tell the truth of what they see, as accurately and with as much love as they can. And sometimes, if they pay very close attention, the art they make will tell them a truth about themselves. Maybe this is a truth they already know. Most of the time, it’s not. Many young people instinctively know to reach for art as a tool, for insight or for comfort. I see this over and over again when I make school visits: all the kids who keep journals, who write poetry, who draw on paper or online. They understand that art is both a private and a universal action, a safe haven where they can hide if they need to, a platform where they can say whatever they want to say, as loudly—or as subtly—as they like. Their art, too, becomes a mirror held up to their lives. “And that’s what I hope for, in my YA work: to try to be that mirror, as honest and fierce and funny and terrifying as the years of youth, as personal and vast, and say there the things that I want most to say. Like Holden, Harriet, and Witch Baby, like my own protagonists Maggy, Kit, and Rachel, Justin and Jinsen, Ivan and Hilly, Dana and Avra and Lily and Hazel, and all the others to come, who struggle and flounder, fail and succeed, our best selves when our selves were newest, alive to the possible, ready for their work to tell them who they are and what they do.”

Sidelights In The Red Queen’s Daughter Jacqueline Kolosov takes readers back in time to the court of England’s Queen Elizabeth, where intrigue abounds. Sixteen-year-old Mary Seymour is the daughter of Katherine Parr, the fourth wife of Henry VIII, and her birth allows her to become a lady-in-waiting to the queen. When she is approached by her guardian, Lady Strange, she also agrees to become a witch and use her practice of Wicca to keep her royal mistress safe. Mary relies on her ability to discern character and personality by reading people’s gemstones, but when her cousin, Edmund Seymour, begins to openly undermine Elizabeth, the young woman’s sensibilities are thwarted by her attraction to her handsome relative. Citing “the uncomplicated characters and elaborate symbolism” Kolosov weaves into her story for The Red Queen’s Daughter, School Library Journal contributor Emily R. Brown added that the novel “seem[s] more like a dream than a fantasy rooted in history.” In Booklist, Ilene Cooper dubbed the novel “an anti-romance,” writing that although the intricacies of court intrigue may distract some readers, Kolosov’s novel will reward fans of historical fiction as an “elegantly written entwining of history, fantasy, and a touch of mystery.” Kolosov turns to a younger readership in Grace from China, a middle-grade novel about a young teen who must deal with feelings of displacement when her recently widowed mom adopts an infant daughter from

Sidelights A trained biologist, Dwight Kuhn is also a renowned nature photographer who specializes in the life cycles of small animals and plants, ecological habitats, and animal behavior. He is widely known for capturing difficult-to-shoot, seldom-photographed subjects. Kuhn’s photos have appeared in more than 140 educational books, and he has contributed to such well-known publications as Audubon, National Geographic, and Smithsonian. Kuhn’s work has often drawn praise from critics. Reviewing his work for Ron Hirschi’s Hungry Little Frog, a counting book about an amphibian’s search for a ladybug, a contributor in Publishers Weekly stated that Kuhn’s “sharp photos, with their many distinctive contrasts, offer easy object identification.” An orphaned wild deer mouse is the subject of Lucky Mouse, a nonfiction title by Elizabeth Ring that also features Kuhn’s images. According to April Judge, writing in Booklist, Ring’s narrative is enhanced by Kuhn’s “engaging, wellsuited full-color photographs.” In Night Flier, another work by Ring, a child discusses the life cycle of a cecropia moth. Kuhn’s “full-color close-up photographs are wonderful,” Chris Sherman observed of the work in Booklist. Kuhn’s photographs have graced the pages of numerous books by prolific nonfiction author Elaine Pascoe. Critiquing both Flowers and Spittlebugs and Other Sap Tappers for School Library Journal, Karey Wehner declared that Kuhn’s contributions are the “highlight” of these books. “Different-sized, sharply focused pictures complement the text on almost every page; many are remarkably detailed, extreme close-ups of flower or insect anatomy,” the critic noted. Kuhn has also enjoyed a successful collaboration with David M. Schwartz, producing such titles as Animal Noses and Plant Stems and Roots. In Where in the Wild?: Camouflaged Creatures Concealed . . . and Revealed, a multi-award-winning science book coauthored by Schwartz and wife Yael Schy, readers learn about animal camouflage. “The combination of poetry, beautiful photography, and clear factual explanation is executed . . . with economy and skill,” Margaret Bush noted in a review of the work for School Library Journal.

Educator, editor, and author. Former teacher of modern languages; former editor for Christian publishers.
A former teacher and editor, British writer Leena Lane creates books for young children that are inspired by her Christian faith. One of Lane’s most well-known books, Angels among Us, features what Booklist critic Ilene Cooper described as “primitive-style art” by Elena Baboni that features stylized angels clothed in rich tones of turquoise, purple, red, and gold. Drawn from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, Lane’s twelve stories find these winged messengers from God walking in the Garden of Eden, speaking God’s voice to Moses from the burning bush, helping to save Daniel from the lion’s den, watching over those witnessing the birth of Jesus, and mourning as the Savior’s tomb. Each story includes the relevant biblical references, chapter and verse, which “allow serious readers to find the complete passages,” according to Cooper. The author’s “simple language and concise plot lines, blended with the miraculous nature of angels, should prove inviting to a wide readership,” wrote School Library Journal contributor Linda Israelson, and in Kirkus Reviews a critic noted the concise quality of “each well-known story.”

Nikolai, the Only Bear centers on the efforts of an American couple to adopt a Russian child named Nikolai. In the book’s illustrations, Nikolai is portrayed as a lonely bear cub that no one wants until the American visitors decide to make him part of their family. “Joosse and . . . Liwska convey that no child is beyond the reach of love,” noted a contributor to Publishers Weekly, and a Kirkus Reviews critic praised the artist’s depiction of Nikolai, “his feelings expressed in relatively subtle but clear shifts of head and posture.” In Skylar, a flock of pond geese agree to help a oneeyed heron migrate to its birthplace. For this book, “Liwska’s shaded black-and-white pencil renderings work with the text to give readers a strong sense of place,” wrote Susan Hepler in a School Library Journal review of the picture book. Little Panda, Liwska’s self-illustrated picture-book debut, was inspired by a late-night television news report on the unusual creatures. Her interest piqued, Liwska began researching pandas on the Internet, studying their behaviors and routines. “With this book,” she wrote on her home page, “I hope to give the reader a little taste of the joy I get from observing these wonderful animals.” In Little Panda Grandfather Panda tells young Bao Bao a cautionary tale about a tiny panda who falls asleep in the branches of his favorite tree and awakens to find a

hungry tiger climbing after him. Using the lessons his mother has taught him, the tiny panda manages this unlikely escape. According to Booklist reviewer Margaret Bush, “Liwska’s melange of the fanciful and the real is well crafted in the smooth telling and artwork.” A critic in Publishers Weekly complimented Liwska’s artwork for Little Panda, remarking that her digitally enhanced pencil drawings “evoke the simplicity of traditional Chinese art and underscore the intimacy” of the tale.

M MANOS, Helen
Buddhist, Manos weaves her beliefs in reincarnation into her award-winning picture-book text for Samsara Dog. The book, which features softly rendered watercolor illustrations by Australian artist Julie Vivas, is grounded in the interconnected Buddhist concepts of Samsara (the cycle of rebirth and suffering) and Nirvana (the culmination of samsara in physical detachment and perfect peace of mind). In Manos’s story, readers follow the several lives of Dog, who at first lives only a few days as a sickly pup in a Buddhist monastery, but then returns to life, in turn, as a wild dog living on city streets, a mascot for a biker gang, an adored family pet, a working airport sniffer dog, the pet of a street juggler, and finally the helpmate and companion to a poor, blind boy. Dog’s willingness to sacrifice itself to save the life of its human companion allows it to break from the cycle of rebirth and attain nirvana.

clubs during her teen years and later joined Cuba’s best-known band, La Sonora Matancera. After emigrating from her homeland in 1960, Cruz achieved worldwide stardom and helped introduce salsa music around the globe. Celia Cruz, Queen of Salsa garnered strong reviews from critics who were impressed by Maren’s contributions. Mary Elam, in School Library Journal, praised the illustrator’s depiction of Cruz, noting that the “bold jewel tones evoke the warmth and swirl of the salsa sound she created.” Gillian Engberg stated in her Booklist appraisal of the work that Maren’s “bright, uncluttered paintings of rounded, stylized figures in saturated, tropical hues echo the energy in the words.” An Orange in January, a work by Dianna Hutts Aston that also features Maron’s art, chronicles the journey of an orange from the grove to the lunchbox. “Maren’s acrylic paintings illustrate the story with childlike gravity and simplicity,” Carolyn Phelan wrote in Booklist, and School Library Journal critic Lauralyn Persson similarly noted that “the glowing acrylic paintings are artfully simple and make beautiful use of color.”

True Account of the 1938 War of the Worlds Radio Broadcast, and Strong Man: The Story of Charles Atlas. McCarthy “creates energetic, spirited, rather spastic (that’s a compliment) picture books—both fiction and nonfiction—with bold colors and animated characters and with much humor,” noted a contributor on the Seven Impossible Things before Breakfast Web site. McCarthy knew by age seven that she wanted to illustrate books for a living when she grew up, although her work in elementary school gave little indication of her literary abilities. As McCarthy noted on her home page, “I was great at painting and gluing and sculpting. I was terrible at reading and math and paying attention. Thankfully, I didn’t let my poor academic performance dissuade me from accomplishing my lifelong dreams.” After attending the Rhode Island School of Design, she took the step that would make her dreams a reality: she packed up all her earthly goods, moved to New York City, and began to knock on publishers’ doors, portfolio in hand. The risk paid off when McCarthy was given a contract by Viking that included publication of her first picture book, George Upside Down. She has published several more books since, winning critical praise and a host of young fans along the way due to the appeal of her quirky cartoon drawings and humorous stories. George Upside Down introduces a playful young boy who loves to point his feet up in the air as a way to stand out from the crowd. While he sees no harm in his
Something about the Author, Volume 199
talent, others do, and one day George finds himself in the school principal’s office. Hoping to discourage George from displaying his talent for going topsy-turvy, the principal arranges for a number of adults to balance on their heads where George is able to observe them. Seeing that standing on one’s head now seems to be the norm, the boy decides to find a new way to be unique: he becomes “Super George to the rescue.” “Kids may not catch the irony involved, but they will like George’s independent spirit,” commented reviewer Julie Cummins in Booklist, the reviewer also praising McCarthy’s use of “flat, bright colors” in her illustrations. A Kirkus Reviews critic dubbed the same artwork “riotous,” while in School Library Journal Martha Topol wrote that McCarthy’s “vibrant, attention-grabbing illustrations are definitely high energy.” Other self-illustrated picture books by McCarthy include Show Dog, which a Publishers Weekly reviewer playfully dubbed “a fast-moving tale.” The story introduces Princess, a pampered pooch with a puffy tail whose encounters with next-door-dog Ed leave her cold. When Ed’s human owners, the Hubble family, decide that their mutt is a match for prissy Princess any day, they sign him up for a turn in the dog-show ring, with predictably humorous results. Two sisters travel to some amazing places in The Adventures of Patty and the Big Red Bus, which was praised by School Library Journal contributor Sally R. Dow for its “imaginative” story and “whimsical cartoons” featuring McCarthy’s characteristic “goggle-eyed characters.” These characters become even more bug-eyed in Aliens Are Coming!, praised by Booklist contributor Jesse Karp as “evok[ing] an era gone by, at the same time creating a cozy nostalgia . . . packed with age-appropriate thrills and scares.” The book, which marks the author/illustrator’s shift into nonfiction territory, features colorful, comical portraits of the alien creatures that many Americans believe were unleashed upon New Jersey through one of the first illustrations of the power of the modern media. McCarthy’s narrative, “with actual excerpts from the radio broadcast in italics, touches on the real-life panic in a few sentences,” Anita L. Burkam observed in Horn Book, and Rachael Vilmar, writing in School Library Journal, similarly noted that “the interplay between the text of the play and the author’s description of actual events is effective, and the illustrations are exaggerated and funny.” Steal Back the Mona Lisa! centers on a young boy’s fanciful efforts to retrieve the celebrated work of art after it has been pilfered by a villainous duo. Awakened from a deep sleep by news of the painting’s disappearance, Jack magically transforms into a secret agent and heads off to Europe in pursuit of the crooks who plan to deface the masterpiece by adding a bushy mustache to Mona Lisa’s serene face. “With animation-ready artwork and a plot that zooms from one harrowing scene to the next, the book brims with tongue-in-cheek humor,” wrote a Publishers Weekly contributor. According
McCARTHY • 75
to Lauralyn Persson in School Library Journal, “the comic illustrations . . . strike an effective balance between mock gravity and overt silliness.” In Strong Man McCarthy offers a “cheerful introduction to a cultural legend,” observed Booklist critic Gillian Engberg. The work follows Charles Atlas (born Angelo Siciliano in Italy) from his arrival at New York City’s Ellis Island to his days as a scrawny teenager who gets sand kicked in his face at Coney Island. Inspired by the muscular heroes of Greek mythology and a powerful lion at the local zoo, Atlas determined to remake his body and later developed his own fitness program, which earned him international acclaim and the title of “The World’s Most Perfectly Developed Man.” Citing the difficulty of separating the myths surrounding Atlas from the facts, School Library Journal critic Joy Fleishhacker remarked that the author “cleverly makes the most of this, smoothly weaving facts, quotes, and dialogue balloons into a comic-book-like narrative that perfectly suits its subject.” “McCarthy’s narration is simple and light-handed, illustrated with cartoony acrylic paintings strengthened by definite black outlines,” Burkam reported, and Engberg also noted that the illustrator’s “cartoonish style—bug-eyed, thickly outlined characters and rich, flat colors—echoes Atlas’ larger-than-life, superhero persona.” A rare bird arrives in New York City and creates a stir among the local populace in City Hawk: The Story of Pale Male, a work based on an actual event. When a red-tailed hawk and his mate take up residence atop an upscale apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, members of the city’s bird-watching community begin a vigilant watch from their vantage point in Central Park. Known as Pale Male and Lola, the hawks eventually give birth to a pair of chicks, delighting their faithful onlookers. “Combining vibrant and earth tones, McCarthy’s unadorned acrylic illustrations have a puckish quality,” a reviewer in Publishers Weekly stated, and Joanna Rudge Long, writing in Horn Book, complimented “McCarthy’s rough yet evocative rendering” of New York City. In Astronaut Handbook, McCarthy examines the rigorous training program followed by aspiring space travelers. During their time in astronaut school, the four google-eyed candidates study satellite repair, practice survival training, and take a ride on the Vomit Comet (an airplane that simulates weightlessness). “McCarthy applies a light, comic tone to the subject,” remarked Thom Barthelmess in Booklist, and School Library Journal critic Mary Jean Smith wrote that the “images of the smiling characters in space capture the excitement of this ultimate adventure.”

Sidelights Even people who do not read picture books or visit art galleries are likely to have encountered the work of artist and illustrator Wendell Minor. In addition to providing the illustrations to works by some of the most noted children’s book authors, including Jean Craighead George, Mary Higgins Clark, Margaret Wise Brown, Carl Sandburg, and Alice Schertle, Minor has created cover art for such bestsellers as historian David McCullough’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Truman, Pat Conroy’s novel Beach Music, and LaVyrle Spencer’s Small Town Girl. Commissioned by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) to commemorate the lift-off of the space shuttle Discovery, Minor has also created several postcard stamps for the U.S. Postal Service. His style, which has been lauded for its classic elements, graces books such as Red Fox Running, Julie, Heartland, and Ghost Ship: A Cape Cod Story, as well as Minor’s original self-illustrated books and several picture books he coauthored with his wife, Florence Minor.
Something about the Author, Volume 199
Born in Aurora, Illinois, in 1944, Minor knew he was going to be an artist by the time he hit the fourth grade, and he translated his interest in U.S. history and nature into his drawings. The encouragement he received from parents, friends, and teachers fueled his confidence and made him more determined than ever to develop his natural talent enough to be able to devote his adult years to art. Although his mother was supportive of his budding talent, his father—a sportsman from whom Minor inherited a love of the outdoors—was concerned that his son would find it difficult to make a living. However, Minor also had a strong work ethic; after graduating from high school he got a job at a local slaughter house to save up for college. A class in mechanical drawing at a nearby community college satisfied his need to feel he was making strides toward his eventual career, and it also taught him some useful technical skills. Eventually, a combination of scholarship money and savings from summer jobs brought

him to Sarasota, Florida’s Ringling School of Art and Design, and he graduated in 1966. In 1968 Minor began working as an illustrator for the studio of Paul Bacon, where he got his first taste of book production by illustrating a full-color book cover. Two years later, in 1970, he started working independently, taking a studio in New York’s Greenwich Village. Even with his professional training and two years of experience, Minor needed commissions of his own in order to remain an independent artist. Inspired by such professional artists as Winslow Homer, Rockwell Kent, Thomas Moran, and Norman Rockwell—the last against whose work Minor’s own efforts have often been favorably compared—he developed his own style, assembled a portfolio, and went in search of paying clients. Not unexpectedly, his search took him to publishing houses, and he was able to get his first illustration job working on a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt for

Crowell. Contracts to create book covers followed, and Minor, confident that he would now be able to pay the rent on his studio, felt like a budding success. In 1988 Minor decided to make the transition from book jacket illustration to children’s book illustration, believing that children’s books allow artists the greatest creative freedom. He enjoyed two aspects of the work in particular: the ability to work with the author in envisioning and refining the story, and passing along his beliefs and passions to the next generation. A move to rural Connecticut also proved beneficial, as the influences of nature began to be seen more and more within his works. Minor’s obvious love for the natural world is especially noted in books like Red Fox Running, which was written by Eve Bunting, and the wealth of nature centers and open spaces north of New York City have proved to be invaluable in studying foxes and other animals and their habitats. For his self-illustrated picture book Grand Canyon: Exploring a Natural Wonder Minor takes the same path as many other artists who have explored America’s wild places and recorded their visual and emotional impressions. During a twelve-day excursion, he recorded the National Park in both watercolor paintings and text. Grand Canyon “enables youngsters to see a muchphotographed natural wonder through the admiring, philosophical mind and the swift, careful fingers of an artist,” commented School Library Journal contributor Patricia Manning in praise of the work, while a Kirkus reviewer noted that Minor’s observations on nature, sketches, and paintings “will delight young armchair travelers and naturalists.”

ing the large bird house for a purple martin colony that would return faithfully to our backyard every spring; the smell of burning leaves in autumn and the celebration of harvest time at the county fair. These images are indelibly etched in my memory forever. It has taken me a lifetime to realize how much those early experiences in nature have defined my identity as a mature artist.” In 1986 Minor was given a copy of the poem “Mojave,” by author Diane Siebert. “I remember that day very well,” he once recalled to SATA, “and knew immediately that I wanted to paint pictures for Diane’s visually rich and beautifully descriptive text. We clearly shared a love of nature and passion for a sense of place. From that day forward I knew that my mission as an artist was to communicate to future generations of children that love of nature and sense of place. My interest in reading, natural history, science, landscape painting, and America would be brought together in one place to create children’s picture books celebrating all manner of natural environments from every corner of our great land.” Minor begins his art projects with an idea, and his editor helps him find an author who has an interest or spe-
Another solo effort, Pumpkin Heads!, is a Halloween story about picking a pumpkin and making a jack-o’lantern. Doris Gebel commented in School Library Journal on the combination of “simple text with lush, rich paintings.” An unusual alphabet book, Yankee Doodle America: The Spirit of 1776 from A to Z also introduces young children to the many elements—from Molly Pitcher and George Washington to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell—that combined to inspire men and women to fight for a new nation. In text and unique illustrations painted in oils on wooden Public House signboards created by woodworker John Reichling, this “visually arresting treatment acts as an engrossing introduction to some of the people, places, and events that figured in America’s fight for independence,” according to School Library Journal critic Ann Welton. Minor credits his Midwest upbringing and his parents with being a major influence upon his career. “I was very fortunate to have grown up in the Midwest in the 1950s and experience the rural landscape near my hometown of Aurora, Illinois. My mother and father both grew up on farms, and their sensibilities were well-rooted in the Illinois soil. They taught me to appreciate the simple joys of everyday life: the sweet smell of a freshly plowed field after a rainstorm; tend-

cial knowledge in the relevant area. A poem by Alice Schertle provided Minor with an accompaniment to his art in A Lucky Thing, in which a girl talks about writing and nature. According to a Publishers Weekly contributor, the book’s illustrations “neatly combine fidelity to nature with emblems of the art of writing.” Pat Brisson’s text for Sky Memories pairs with “dramatic watercolors [that] focus on the sky memories” as opposed to other subtexts in the story, according to a Publishers Weekly contributor. With a text by Tony Johnston, Cat, What Is That? features poetry about cats accompanied by Minor’s illustrations. “Minor’s cats are irresistible,” praised a contributor to Publishers Weekly, the critic dubbing the book “as stylish and sleek as cats themselves.” Joy Fleishhacker, writing in School Library Journal, considered the collaboration “a verbal and visual feast,” while Booklist contributor John Peters noted that young readers “will have trouble resisting the urge to stroke the pictures.” Minor has also provided art for several biographies, several of early environmentalists. For a biography of President Lincoln by Ann Turner, titled Abe Lincoln Remembers, Minor provided “stately, lifelike paintings,” which, with the text, “shape an insightful portrait of this leader,” according to a Publishers Weekly contributor. With the text taking the form of poetry, Minor’s “vivid full-page illustrations provide counterpoint to islands of verse,” Mary Ann Carcich noted in her School Library Journal review. In Into the Woods: John James Audubon Lives His Dream Minor’s art is paired with images by the famous naturalist Audubon, who tried to capture a disappearing world with his paint brush. “Minor breathtakingly captures a landscape with a blue heron in the marsh as easily as a close-up of a dying dove,” noted a Publishers Weekly contributor in praise of the work. Commenting on the juxtaposition of images by Minor and Audubon, a Kirkus Reviews contributor noted that “the two are quite compatible in this feast for bird lovers.” Julie Cummins, in her Booklist review, wrote that Minor’s “brightly toned watercolors . . . realistically recreate the scenery and the wildlife of the early 1800s.” Twentieth-century environmentalist and author Rachel Carson is the subject of yet another a biography illustrated by Minor. Reviewing Rachel: The Story of Rachel Carson, a Publishers Weekly critic cited Minor’s “impressively realistic watercolor and gouache paintings [for] lend[ing] a pleasing cohesiveness to this volume.” A Kirkus Reviews contributor wrote that Minor’s paintings “outshine the text in portraying the beauties of the world. . . . Young readers will love the illustrations.” The last years of a warrior’s life is the focus of Sitting Bull Remembers, a picture book by Ann Turner. While noting the romanticism of the story in favor of Native Americans, School Library Journal contributor Donna Cardon added that Minor’s “well-crafted art adds drama and depth to the story.” “With a more modern focus, his illustrations for astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s Reaching for
the Moon were praised by a Publishers Weekly contributor as “light-infused” paintings that are “rendered with an almost dizzying clarity.” George and Minor have collaborated on several titles together, among them Morning, Noon, and Night, Luck, Snow Bear, Cliff Hanger, Everglades, and The Wolves Are Back. Morning, Noon, and Night combines a rhyming text by George describing animals going about their days with watercolors by Minor. The book “offers splendid views of the countryside from Maine to the Pacific and back again,” proclaimed a critic for Publishers Weekly. Luck combines the talents of author and illustrator in a story “that affirms the fragility and wonder of nature,” according to Booklist critic Gillian Engberg. Freed from a tangled piece of trash in a Texas marsh, a sand-hill crane named Luck makes his way across North America and into Siberia during his annual migration. “Minor’s skilled paintings provide richly varied perspectives of the world below the flying cranes,” wrote Margaret Bush in a School Library Journal review of Luck. Turning to slightly older readers, George and Minor share the adventures of a boy named Axel, who goes rock climbing in Cliff Hanger, rafting in Firestorm, and snowboarding in Snowboard Twist. Minor’s illustrations for Cliff Hanger were described as “a series of realistic action shots that capture the athleticism of the sport,”

When asked what he hoped young readers would gain from his work, Minor recalled his own influences—the work of the great American naturalist painters from the nineteenth century, as well as authors like Carl Sandburg, whose work made a lasting impression on him as a child. “What I would like to be remembered for is a man who wanted to bring a positive message to the next generation,” Minor told an interviewer for the Borders Books Web site, “but also show in a positive light how beautiful this country is, how wonderful our history is, how wonderful . . . other creative [Americans] have been.” On his home page Minor stated that his goal in writing “is to inspire children to go out into the fields and woods and mountains to see wildlife in its natural habitat, and to give the children a positive perspective about the beauty that abounds in the world.”

by a Publishers Weekly reviewer, while Dorian Chong wrote in School Library Journal that the book’s “realistic art advances the tension” in George’s story. Another story for early elementary graders, The Wolves Are Back focuses attention on efforts to return wild wolves to the Yellowstone area after the species were almost eradicated in the 1920s. Praising George for her “uplifting, lyrical story,” School Library Journal contributor Esther Moberg added that “Minor’s realistic illustrations in natural tones give depth to the sense of joy” felt by those cheering the restoration of a balanced ecosystem. Among all the books Minor has illustrated, one in particular harkens back to his childhood. “Jack London was my favorite,” he once recalled to SATA of the many books a special sixth grade teacher introduced him to during his middle-school years. “I will never forget The Call of the Wild. Mr. Gilkey’s deep voice made the words come alive with vivid pictures of the far North. It was at that moment that my visual world and reading came together. In retrospect, it was that particular experience that forged my future as an illustrator of books!” In 1999 a new edition of London’s classic novel was published by Scribners; it bears Minor’s expertly detailed paintings. Dedicating this work to the memory of Mr. Gilkey, Minor added that with this project, “Life has come full circle.

Sidelights Fluent in Arabic, Sanskrit, Chinese, and several other languages, Stephen Mitchell is an accomplished translator who is noted for his definitive translations of works ranging from the writings of Rainer Maria Rilke to Biblical reinterpretations. He is also a poet, editor, and author of original fiction. In addition to his translations and poetry, Mitchell has written several children’s books. Among his titles for young readers are The Wishing Bone and Other Poems and the adaptation Iron Hans: A Grimm’s Fairy Tale. Gary Grach, a Publishers Weekly contributor, noted that “what characterizes these diverse efforts is [Mitchell’s] search for the spiritual. Indeed, amidst a burgeoning diversity of New Age titles, his body of work represents the presence of bedrock.” Mitchell has produced a translation of the 2,000-yearold Chinese religious book the Tao Te Ching: A New English Version, written by Laozi (also spelled Lao Tzu). Ann-Ping Chin, writing in the New Republic, called his translation “beautiful and accessible; . . . the English, as ‘fluid as melting ice,’ is a joy to read throughout.” and Nation contributor David Hinton appreciated that “Mitchell’s translation is clearly intended

for the novice in Eastern thought.” Regarding Mitchell’s translation of the Bhagavad Gita, Graham Christian commented in Library Journal that the “language flows with great naturalness,” and a Publishers Weekly contributor called the work “intimate and personal.” Commenting in the National Review on Mitchell’s rendition of Genesis: A New Translation of the Classic Biblical Stories, Jacob Neusner praised the work as “an authentically fresh, surprising, and winning translation.” Wilson Quarterly contributor Jan Morris also praised Mitchell’s translation, writing that it is “intended for readers who want a swift, uncluttered narrative.” “The result,” the critic added, “is a compact and vigorous narrative.” With Gilgamesh: A New English Version, Mitchell reintroduces a classic Old English poem. Discussing his reasons for attempting the work, he told Publishers Weekly interviewer Tracy Cochran: “I’ve never been satisfied by any other translation. I didn’t think the language matched the excitement and the vividness of the story itself. I tried to be transparent, to let the beauty and the wisdom of the text shine through.” In a review of Gilgamesh, a Publishers Weekly contributor attested that “this wonderful new version . . . shows how the story came to achieve literary immortality.” Writing in Library Journal, Morris Hounion commented that “Mitchell uses various versions of the tale to achieve a fuller and more free-flowing adaptation.” Mitchell adopts a nontraditional and controversial approach in his book Jesus: What He Really Said and Did, a work adapted for young adults from Mitchell’s earlier title, The Gospel according to Jesus. As he explained in his interview with Grach, “The Gospel according to Jesus is a portrait of Jesus as an awakened Jewish teacher. It collects and translates what I consider to be the authentic passages in the Gospels and also points out the similarities between Jesus—his clarity and depth of insight—and the great masters in the Buddhist, Jewish, Sufi, and Hindu traditions.” After the book’s publication Mitchell received dozens of hate letters from religious extremists who believed that the author had desecrated sacred teachings. Still, he decided to rework the text for a teen audience because, as he told Publishers Weekly interviewer Jennifer M. Brown, “In my opinion, everything written about Jesus for children was saccharine, with no reality in it.” In addition to his translations, Mitchell also writes fiction, including the adult novel Meetings with the Archangel: A Comedy of the Spirit and The Frog Prince: A Fairy Tale for Consenting Adults, the last a retelling of the famous fairy tale of the princess and the frog. In Mitchell’s version, the princess encounters a frog who promises to retrieve the gold ball the princess dropped down the well if she agrees to take the frog in and treat him as a friend and spouse. Ray Olson observed in Booklist that the author takes the short fairy tale and “expands [it] into a psychological and philosophical novella”; the critic called the book “thoroughly delightful
entertainment.” A Publishers Weekly contributor similarly wrote that “the tale is gracefully told, and sympathetic readers will find it an appealing tribute to the original.” In one of his earliest efforts for children, Mitchell adapted The Nightingale by nineteenth-century Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. A Publishers Weekly contributor commented that both the author and the illustrator, Bagram Ibatoulline, meet the “high expectations” of readers who enjoyed the original. Mitchell and Ibatoulline have also collaborated on a retelling of Andersen’s The Tinderbox, in which a soldier retrieves a magical tinderbox for a witch, then murders her to keep its riches for his own. According to Joanna Rudge Long, writing in Horn Book, “Mitchell’s excellent retelling is close to such established translations as [R.P.] Keigwin’s; Andersen’s quizzical wit and offbeat satire are intact.” In Booklist, Margaret Bush also complimented the work, calling it “a rich rendering of the durable, intriguing classic.” Mitchell also offers his take on another familiar tale by Anderson, The Ugly Duckling, about a misunderstood

creature that transforms into a glorious swan. The author “hews very closely to the language and cadences of the original: What this means is a measured and rich text,” remarked a critic in Kirkus Reviews, and Deirdre F. Baker similarly noted in Horn Book that Mitchell retains “just enough of the character of Andersen’s narrative voice to give his adaptation a tart, bracing flavor.” A nine-foot-tall wild man helps a young prince save his kingdom in Iron Hans, a adaptation by Mitchell. After Iron Hans, a gigantic forest dweller, is captured by a huntsman and imprisoned in the palace, he convinces the prince to help him escape. They flee together, and Hans asks the prince to preserve the purity of a golden spring. When the youngster leans too far over the spring, his hair touches the water and turns to gold; Hans sends the prince away, testing his ability to live without power. When the prince needs the wild man’s assistance, however, they join forces to rescue the king. Mitchell “spins the German original into a tale of inner awakening,” remarked a contributor in Publishers Weekly. In Genies, Meanies, and Magic Rings: Three Tales from the Arabian Nights Mitchell retells such favorites as

“Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” and “Aladdin and the Magic Lamp,” as well as “Abu Keer and Abu Seer,” a lesser-known story that examines the fate of two men— one good and one evil—who suffer drastic reversals of fortune. “Mitchell delights in exaggeration and embroiders these already outrageous tales with extended descriptions” of lavish feasts, sumptuous clothing, and great treasures, Susan P. Bloom observed in Horn Book. Praising Genies, Meanies, and Magic Rings in Kirkus Reviews, a critic stated that the “celebrations of loyalty, courage and generosity are as entertaining as they are edifying.”

Career Author.

Pirates Eat Porridge, illustrated by Neil Curtis, Allen & Unwin (Crows Nest, New South Wales, Australia), 2006, Roaring Brook Press (New York, NY), 2007.

Sidelights Although his jobs have ranged from working in a factory storeroom, building artificial trees, and working as a civil servant in his native Australia, Christopher Morgan has also channeled his creative talents into such varied employment as singing in a French restaurant and making furniture. A diagnosis of a brain tumor in the mid-1990s changed all that, however, for suddenly Morgan’s talent for imaginative work increased. Turning to writing, Morgan published his first novel, The Island of Four Rivers, in 2006 to critical acclaim. The novel focuses on a dysfunctional family whose members must make life-or-death decisions after the family patriarch suffers a debilitating stroke that lands him in the hospital. The Island of Four Rivers weaves into this family saga the darkly comic story of Crabby Davis, a nineteenth-century dilettante explorer lost in the South Pacific. Turning to a younger audience, Morgan has also teamed up with artist Neil Curtis to produce the beginning chapter books Pirates Eat Porridge and Pirates Drive Busses. Both stories pair Morgan’s quirky dialogue with Curtis’s equally playful cartoon art in following the adventures of siblings Billy and Heidi. In Pirates Eat Porridge Billy is daydreaming in his tree house when a pirate map appears, followed moments later by an actual pirate. As reality and fantasy continue to blend, the children’s fort is transformed into a ship sailing to Itchy Ear Island. There Billy and Heidi join in a pirate treasure hunt during which they learn all manner of pirate facts. In Pirates Drive Buses the children are waylaid by their pirate friend while on their way to school. Leaping aboard the scallywag’s bus, the siblings soon find themselves on a wild ride that leads them to the pirate’s lost ship. Praising the “goofy fantasy world” brought to life in Pirates Eat Porridge, School Library Journal contributor Pat Leach added that young readers will “appreciate the wealth of dialogue combined with ongoing action” in Morgan’s tall tale. “Breathless overthe-top humor from Down Under is the order of the day” in Pirates Drive Buses, according to a Kirkus Reviews writer, and Kathleen Isaacs wrote in Booklist that

“the pace of the story line, even as it zigs and zags, will keep young readers going.” “Raucous humor and large type will help lure students from easy readers to chapter books, and [Pirates Drive Buses] . . . fits the bill perfectly,” exclaimed Susan Dove Lempke in her Reading Today review.

Sidelights Taia Morley, a designer who has created toys for such companies as Mattel, Fisher-Price, and Hasbro, also serves as an illustrator of children’s picture books. In Anna’s Table, a work by celebrated author Eve Bunting, Morley’s “colorful paintings are skillfully executed, with lots of joy and warmth,” reported School Library Journal critic Lauralyn Persson. The story, told in free verse, centers on a young girl’s collection of nature’s treasures, including a blue jay’s feather, expired butterflies found on the grass after a sudden freeze, and mouse bones discovered inside some owl pellets. “Morley’s appealing pictures of Anna and her world are full of light, movement, and radiant color,” Carolyn Phelan stated in Booklist. A Publishers Weekly contributor noted that Morley’s “watercolor-and-ink paintings convey a beguiling spontaneity and vivacity, as if they were pages from an artist’s sketchbook.” In Patricia Hubbell’s Hurray for Spring!, a young boy enjoys such activities as splashing through puddles, planting seeds, and spying on rabbits. According to Phelan, here Morley’s “upbeat pencil drawings are brightened with luminous watercolor washes and studded with details” that reward attentive readers. The illustrator also contributed artwork to Greg Tang’s Math Fables Too: Making Science Count, a collection of ten rhymes designed to educate youngsters about sea horses, herons, and other creatures. “In Morley’s brightly colored, artfully composed natural scenes, the animals are accurately rendered and their groups clearly differentiated,” a contributor in Kirkus Reviews noted. In School Library Journal Sandra Welzenbach offered praise for the work, remarking that Morley’s pictures “bring personality to the animals and create colorful displays for counting and adding.”

Sidelights Ann Whitehead Nagda has written a number of picture books which explain math concepts to young readers. In such titles as Tiger Math: Learning to Graph from a Baby Tiger, as well as Polar Bear Math: Learning about Fractions from Klondike and Snow and Cheetah Math: Learning about Division from Baby Cheetahs, Nagda explains math concepts through the telling of stories about zoo animals. She has also written several chapter books about elementary school children facing everyday problems, including Dear Whiskers, and Meow Means Mischief, Tarantula Power!, The Perfect Catsitter, and The Valentine Cat.

Tiger Math, written by Nagda and Cindy Bickel, tells the story of T.J., a Siberian tiger at the Denver Zoo whose mother died when he was still a cub. Following her death, the orphaned cub began to lose weight, and zoo workers had to force-feed T.J. to keep him alive. Today he is a full-grown, healthy tiger, and Tiger Math 90
Something about the Author, Volume 199
follows his growth from cub to adult. On right-hand pages are photos and text explaining the progress of the tiger as he grows larger and healthier. On lefthand pages various graphs track T.J.’s increasing weight, how much food he eats, and other measurements related to the tiger’s progress. “This story demonstrates the functional use of graphs to show comparisons and make predictions,” David Whitin wrote in Teaching Children Mathematics. Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, writing in School Library Journal, called Tiger Math “an innovative approach to teaching math.” In Chimp Math, Nagda and Bickel follow the growth of chimpanzee Jiggs of the Wichita Zoo, using the chimp’s development “to introduce time measurement devices such as clocks, calendars, time lines, and charts,” as Shelle Rosenfeld wrote in Booklist. Polar Bear Math shows how the staff of the Denver Zoo used arithmetic to help them raise two abandoned polar bear cubs. According to Whitin, the book “reflects a realistic view of science,” describing how the workers made several adjustments to the formula they fed the creatures. A critic in Kirkus Reviews called the book a “charming account.” Cheetah Math follows two baby cheetahs that were hand-raised in the San Diego Zoo nursery and paired with canine buddies. While researching the book, Nagda became so interested in learning more about cheetahs that she volunteered at the De Wildt Cheetah Center in South Africa for several weeks. Ann Joslin, writing in School Library Journal, concluded that Cheetah Math “is a wonderful cross-curricular book and an appealing way to introduce math.” Nagda’s Dear Whiskers is the story of fourth-grader Jenny, who wishes she could do something that would win her praise. As part of a class project, she is assigned to write letters to a second grader as if she is a mouse living in that child’s desk. Other students write their letters easily, but Jenny has a difficult time. When she does send the letter, she is disappointed to receive only a brief reply. She soon discovers that the girl she has written is newly arrived from Saudi Arabia and does not comprehend English very well. Together, the two girls complete their assignment and boost their self-esteem. Writing in School Library Journal, Leslie S. Hilverding found the book to be a “warm story with a positive message,” and Carolyn Phelan concluded in Booklist that the author presents “the seesawing emotions of schoolchildren with empathy and finesse.” Nagda’s Meow Means Mischief follows Rana as she adjusts to a new neighborhood and school. While selfconscious with worries that her Indian heritage makes her different from the other students, Rana must also adjust to the changes caused at home when her grandparents arriving from India to live with the family. The arrival of a stray kitten into her life helps Rana make friends with the other students. The author “clearly understands the problems and concerns of middle-grade children,” Kay Weisman wrote in Booklist, “and her situations and upbeat solutions ring true.”
NAGDA • 91
When several elementary-grade students asked her to write about tarantulas, Nagda bought one to study and then gave it to a local teacher as a classroom pet. Her book Tarantula Power! not only allowed her to write about the spider research, but also gave her the opportunity to write about bullying, a subject of special interest since she had been tormented by a bully as a young child. June Wolfe, writing in School Library Journal, found the story to be “a refreshing twist on the bullying theme,” and Phelan praised the “believable child characters [who are] wrestling with realistic problems that are challenging but not beyond their capabilities.”

Sidelights Greg Newbold is an award-winning illustrator and graphic artist who lives and works in Utah. Gaining an early love of art by age three, Newbold now creates nostalgic paintings that recall the work of earlytwentieth-century muralist Thomas Hart Benton, and his harvest-toned palette is inspired by the colors of the American heartland. In addition to his fine-art paintings and commercial art, Newbold has received acclaim for his picture-book illustration, which includes artwork for texts by Barbara Seuling, Beth Terrill, and other writers.

Seuling’s books Spring Song and Winter Lullaby each pair a simple rhyming text with Newbold’s detailed acrylic paintings. In Spring Song, for example, the artist introduces the many plants and animals that stir to life as the earth warms each spring. In contrast, Winter Lullaby “artfully responds to questions about where animals go as winter approaches,” according to Booklist critic Ellen Mandel. Also in Booklist, Carolyn Phelan wrote that the illustrations for Spring Song hold their own in a story-hours setting, where being viewed “at a distance” allows Newbold’s detailed images to “resolve into more formal compositions with clarity and presence.” “With their stately but unmoving panoramas seemingly etched in black-ink shadows,” the illustrations for Spring Song “look almost like woodcuts,” asserted a Publishers Weekly critic, while Helen Foster concluded in School Library Journal that the book’s “interactive” pictures “will prompt lively discussion and conversation.” The “softly rounded rural scenes” in Winter Lullaby “bring. . . soothing balm to day’s end,” concluded a Publishers Weekly reviewer in praise of Newbold’s reassuring art. Other picture-book projects featuring Newbold’s art include The Barnyard Night before Christmas, featuring a text by Terrill that is adapted from the classic poem by
Clement C. Moore. Here the illustrator injects what a Publishers Weekly critic described as an air of “silliness” by incorporating “exaggerated expressions” and dramatic details in his depiction of the story’s “anthropomorphic menagerie.”

but subsequently we loved Halifax,” Oppel told Dave Jenkinson in a Canadian Review of Materials profile. Once his father finished law school, Oppel and his family then returned to Victoria, where he completed junior high school and went to high school.

Broadcasting Corporation Web site. The recipient of the Vicky Metcalf Award for Children’s Literature, among numerous other honors, Oppel has written more than two dozen titles for young people, ranging from picture books and first readers to young-adult fiction. Regardless of the story’s length, remarked Toronto Star contributor Deirdre Baker, Oppel’s “concerns remain constant—to surprise and engage, to heighten dread, tension and wonder as he constructs an absorbing story. It’s his talent for the rhythms of suspense and relief that hook his readers, as well as an expansive imagination that roams from bat territory . . . to even higher altitudes with ease.” Born in the small mill town of Port Alberni, British Columbia, in 1967, Oppel grew up mostly in Victoria, British Columbia, and on the opposite coast of Canada, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Oppel’s father, who worked in a furniture factory when his second son was born, decided to go back to college, which necessitated the family’s move to Victoria. Then, after graduating from the University of Victoria, he decided to go to law school, which took the family to Nova Scotia. “As kids, we hated being moved and went kicking and screaming,
One constant in these years was books. “As kids,” Oppel explained to Jenkinson, “we were surrounded by books and, when you grow up in an environment like that, you just are automatically more interested in words and in telling stories.” Studying at private schools, Oppel found that he most enjoyed creative writing assignments, and as actual creative writing—creating short stories and novels—was not emphasized in the schools the young Oppel attended, he began working on these in his own time at home. By the sixth grade he was already writing lengthy manuscripts with a distinct Star Wars influence. “These big science fiction epics rarely got finished because I’d get five chapters in and then have no idea of what happened next,” he told Jenkinson. Fantasy tales came next, inspired by the roleplaying game “Dungeons and Dragons.” As a young reader, Oppel, like such distinguished Canadian authors as Alice Munro and children’s novelist Kit Pearson, was also inspired by L.M. Montgomery’s “Emily of New Moon” series. He related strongly to Emily’s dream of becoming a published writer and by grade seven determined that he, too, would write. As he commented in the Canadian Children’s Book Centre anthology Writing Stories, Making Pictures: “I remember making a vow to my father when I was thirteen, that I wanted to have something published before I’d turned fourteen.” Although that may not have been an uncommon goal for ambitious young teens with a flair for writing, it was definitely uncommon that Oppel published a novel before he was out of high school. The story behind that accomplishment is almost too good to be true. Oppel’s first work, Colin’s Fantastic Video Adventure, was published when he was just seventeen years old; he wrote the first draft at age fourteen. Oppel earned his lucky break when a family friend who knew British children’s author Roald Dahl agreed to show him the young boy’s story. Dahl was impressed enough to pass it on to his own literary agent. The agent agreed to represent the book and promptly sold it to publishers in London and New York. Oppel’s inspiration for Colin’s Fantastic Video Adventure resulted from another of his passions: playing video games. In the story, eleven-year-old Colin wins videogame contests with the help of two spacemen who escaped from the boy’s favorite video game “Meteoroids.” Colin eventually realizes that cheating is not fair and goes on to play a third contest by himself. “Writing it was good therapy,” Oppel told a Canadian Children’s Book Centre online interviewer of his work on the book, “a withdrawal technique if you will, enabling me to experience video games vicariously without spending huge amounts of money.”
Something about the Author, Volume 199
After his first book, Oppel had difficulty getting a second one published, so he stopped writing and focused on his studies. While at the University of Toronto, he majored in English literature and cinema. Fascinated by his cinema studies, Oppel began making student films. The Live-forever Machine, written for an independent studies course in creative writing during his senior year, demonstrated the cinematic influence. The story of fourteen-year-old Eric, who stumbles upon two men who discovered the secret of immortality in 391 A.D. and have been chasing each other through history ever since, reads as though a camera was mounted on Eric’s shoulders. The reader sees a dank underworld where the Live-forever machine is jealously guarded, a deceptively bland urban upper world melting under a ferocious sun, and a cool museum that offers refuge from the heat and a passageway into the past. The cinematic technique and themes introduced in this novel became a trademark of Oppel’s subsequent efforts. Dead Water Zone, Oppel’s next YA novel, details the relationship between two brothers possessing opposite characteristics. Paul, who is physically strong, travels to Watertown in search of his missing brother Sam, who is the brainier half of the two. When he gets there, Paul suspects that his brother has discovered a secret hidden in the waters surrounding the eerie town. Horn Book contributor Elizabeth S. Watson, Lucinda Lockwood of School Library Journal, and Elizabeth MacCallum of the Toronto Globe & Mail all described Dead Water Zone as “Dickensian” in scope and flavor. In Voice of Youth Advocates, Deborah Dubois wrote that “Teens who like science fiction will find this a gripping novel that will leave them with much food for thought.” Geared for a younger audience, Oppel’s “Barnes and the Brains” books provide plenty of action and dialogue for newly independent readers aged six to nine. In A Bad Case of Ghosts, Giles Barnes discovers ghosts in an old house newly occupied by Giles and his family. With the help of two young ghost-hunters, Kevin and Tina, the harmless ghosts eventually leave the family alone. According to School Librarian contributor Cathy Sutton A Bad Case of Ghosts “is a well-written story with good character development.” The trio’s mysterysolving services are needed once again in A Bad Case of Magic, when books mysteriously float off the local library’s shelves and right out the door. “The stories move along smartly, and they are full of fun, action, and the occasional deliciously scary bit,” noted Fred Boer in Quill & Quire. Other titles within the series, including A Bad Case of Robots and An Incredible Case of Dinosaurs, were also received favorably. Oppel is perhaps best known for his “Silverwing” series, in which he introduces his readers to yet another world, one of bats. “I said I’d never write a talking animal story,” Oppel told Dave Jenkinson in Canadian Review of Materials online. “I’ve always had a slightly condescending attitude toward them and thought they were somehow cutesy.” But he was drawn to the idea
OPPEL • 97
of basing a novel—or trilogy, as it turned out—around such an unlikable animal. For Oppel, part of the fun of the story was the challenge of making this creature so often associated with horror and scary novels into an endearing and appealing protagonist. Another challenge was the fact that a bat’s world is largely auditory, rather than visual. Oppel’s writing then, needed to rely heavily on auditory images. The first novel in the series, Silverwing, tells the story of the bat Shade, the smallest of the Silverwing community of bats. Loved and protected by his mother, Shade is often taunted by other bats his age because of his physical weakness. Shade compensates for this weakness through his acute intelligence as well as with a stubborn, self-willed streak. However, his intellectual curiosity, however, gets him into trouble when he tries to see the sun—something forbidden to bats from the time when they refused to take a stand in the battle between birds and beasts—and brings down the punishment of the night owls on his fellow bats. As the colony migrates to its winter home, Shade again gets into trouble, losing track of the flight-path during a storm. He then must search for his colony, and is helped by another bat, Marina Brightwing, who has been ostracized by her own colony because of the silver band on her leg. These two set about upon a voyage of discovery, searching not only for Shade’s colony, but also for the secret of the silver band, and for the whereabouts of Shade’s father. Silverwing won critical praise and honors from many quarters. A critic for Publishers Weekly found that this “epic journey is gripping, and details of bat life are inventively and convincingly imagined.” Writing in Horn Book, Lauren Adams also commended Oppel for creating an “intriguing microcosm of rival species, factions, and religions,” and further noted that Silverwing retains “enough unsolved mystery to entice readers into the apparently planned sequel.” Quill & Quire reviewer John Wilson commented that “Silverwing creates a complete culture with its own mythology, lore, and rationale. Like all books in this genre, its success depends upon the convincing portrayal of a plausible world. This Kenneth Oppel has achieved.” Oppel continues the saga of Shade and the Silverwings in Sunwing, in which Shade and Marina continue the search for Cassiel, Shade’s father. Accompanied by a small group of bats, Shade finds a huge indoor forest filled with bats. Once inside, however, he and the others cannot escape. While many of the bats take this new home as a fulfillment of legend—that they will be able to fly in daylight without any fear of owls—Shade is suspicious. Captured and tagged, and loaded onto crates, Shade and the other bats are dropped as living bombs over a distant jungle. Shade and a few others survive this, only to do battle with Goth, an enemy bat. Again, the critical response was favorable for Oppel’s bat book. Anne St. John, writing in Horn Book, declared of Sunwing that Shade’s “dangerous adventures make a memorable impact,” and Booklist critic Carolyn Phelan lauded the book as “action packed and suspenseful.” Sarah El-

lis, writing in Quill & Quire, noted that with Sunwing “Oppel admirably fulfills his promise of a sequel,” and went on to conclude that the second novel in the series “is a book of big effects.” Firewing, the third novel in the series, focuses on Griffin, son of Shade and Marina. This young bat is as selfwilled as his father, and when he tries to steal fire from humans he burns his friend and then is sent on a frightening journey into the Underworld. Shade attempts to save his son, but soon he discovers that his old nemesis, Goth, is also on hand to complicate matters. A critic for Kirkus Reviews deemed this third installment a “fine tale” despite some “inelegant writing.” Horn Book contributor Anita L. Burkam had greater praise for Firewing, commenting that “this new adventure, with its compelling geography and cosmology of the underworld, takes [readers] places Silverwing and Sunwing never dreamed of.” Susan Perren, reviewing the title in the Toronto Globe & Mail, wrote that Oppel “constructs a wonderfully florid and richly imagined world, a bat world in which life and death, goodness and evil, heaven and hell, and the notion of giving up one’s own life so that another might live, are there for
Something about the Author, Volume 199
the reading—and the feeling. Hats off to Oppel for a hat trick!” So popular did the “Silverwing” books become that they spawned an animated television series. In a related work, Darkwing, Oppel tells the story of Silverwing’s ancestors. A stand-alone fantasy set 65 million years ago, Darkwing focuses on Dusk, a small, tree-dwelling chiropter. Although chiropters can glide from tree to tree, Dusk has the ability to fly freely and use echolocation, which frightens the other members of his community. When a band of carnivorous felids, led by Carnassial, enter the chiropters’ territory, however, Dusk’s talents prove useful to their survival. “Oppel writes with keen insight and empathy about the condition of being ‘other,’” Michael Cart observed in Booklist, and Eric Norton, writing in School Library Journal, stated that the author “offers a celebration of difference in addition to a wonderful imagining of a pivotal moment in evolution.” Oppel’s award-winning novel Airborn, set in an imaginary world where giant airships rule the skies, has been compared to the works of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson. The debut work in a fantasy trilogy, the novel follows the exploits of fifteen-year-old Matt Cruse, a cabin boy working aboard the luxury ship Aurora. As the Aurora crosses the Pacificus on its way to Lionsgate City, Matt spies a tattered hot-air balloon and rescues its sole passenger, an elderly man whose tales of majestic, catlike winged creatures are quickly dismissed. When Matt later meets Kate de Vries, the man’s granddaughter, he becomes convinced of the existence of the cloud cats. The “adventures in this fast-paced, buoyant novel have a sweeping, cinematic feel,” noted Peter D. Sieruta in Horn Book, and a reviewer in Publishers Weekly complimented Oppel’s “crisp, precise prose that gracefully conveys a wealth of detail.” Airborn received a host of honors, including Canada’s Governor General’s Award for Children’s Literature. The search for a legendary ghost ship is the focus of Skybreaker, the second work in Oppel’s “Airborn” trilogy. Now a student at the prestigious Airship Academy, Matt discovers the location of the Hyperion, which vanished decades earlier and is rumored to contain a great treasure. Along with Kate, now a dashing airship captain, and a gypsy girl, Matt mounts a salvage effort at dangerously high altitudes, encountering pirates and sky squids. According to School Library Journal critic Sharon Rawlins, Skybreaker “starts with a bang and doesn’t let up until the satisfying ending.” “The plot alone would make this series a wonderful film,” remarked Amanda Craig in the London Times, “but Oppel is also good at character. Not only Matt and Kate but a host of others spring to life, sidestepping cliché and bullets with grace and humour.”
Oppel continues the saga of Silverwing in Sunwing, a novel featuring cover art by Troy Howell. (Cover illustration copyright © 2003 by Troy Howell. Reproduced by permission.)
In addition to his novels and short chapter books, Oppel has written several picture books as well as several screenplays. His picture book Cosimo Cat, described as a “charming and magical” story by Terri L. Lyons in
Something about the Author, Volume 199
Canadian Children’s Literature, features a young boy in search of an intriguing cat. Oppel has also written the award-winning picture book Peg and the Whale as well as the chapter book Emma’s Emu. In spite of his success in the field of juvenile literature, he has not confined his writing exclusively to children’s books either. He has also published an adult medical thriller, The Devil’s Cure, dealing with a possible cure for cancer found in the white cells of a death-row inmate who will stop at nothing to keep the world from profiting from his blood. Reviewing the novel in Library Journal, Linda M.G. Katz found The Devil’s Cure to be “engaging and nicely paced.” From the point of view of many critics, Oppel has found his calling as an children’s author. As he remarked in an interview on the HarperCollins Web site, “When I write for kids I feel like I can really let rip and do exactly what I want. The world, especially through the eyes of a young reader, just seems filled with so much more wonder and potential and excitement.”

Carey in the illustrated adult novel Wedding Pictures, Kathy Osborn is also an illustrator of children’s books. Her highly colored gouache images have a static, staged quality and show the influence of artists such as Edward Hopper. They also reflect the artist’s modernist bent; in fact, another of her creative pursuits is creating mid-century modern doll houses featuring a colorful collage of retro design elements. According to a writer for the Art Works Web site, Osborn’s “whimsical world is a blend of fantasy and reality . . . in which vignettes of life capture the imagination. Life is filtered through barriers. Shadows, windows, masks, shield the subject from reality. Images in which quirky dreams and reality are mixed so that the borders between fantasy and reality become blurred.” Osborn’s picture-book projects include I Forgot My Shoes by Jessica Harper, Once upon a Princess and a Pea by Ann Campbell, and A Horse in the House, and Other Strange but True Animal Stories by journalist Gail Ablow. In Booklist, Ilene Cooper characterized the artist’s work for I Forgot My Shoes as “thickly painted and . . . enhanced with broad strokes of whimsy,” while in Publishers Weekly a critic ranked the “elaborately patterned, fantastical compositions” that accompany Harper’s text as works of “visual sophistication.” Booklist critic John Peters noted that in A Horse in the House, and Other Strange but True Animal Stories “Os-

One Frog Sang, which features illustrations by Cynthia Jabar, is a counting story in which a group of ten frogs enjoys singing songs in the nighttime. When a car drives by, the frogs quiet down and hop away, looking for a place to hide. When the danger is past, one frog takes up the song, followed by another and another, until all ten frogs are singing once again. A critic for Kirkus Reviews found that “Parenteau’s lyrical language is really the icing on the cake of this successful offering,” and Amanda Moss concluded in School Library Journal that the book’s “lively, poetic text invites reading aloud.” Another picture book, Bears on Chairs, Parenteau uses rhyme to describe five bears learning to share four chairs.

Parenteau once commented to SATA: “In writing books for children, I hope to share with readers my own love for books and adventure, and to keep them turning pages by offering humor and suspense. Blue Hands, Blue Cloth and Secrets of Scarlet are the first two books in a series on the history of natural color from plants, insects, and snails. Both are fiction based on fact. Crunch It, Munch It, and Other Ways to Eat Vegetables gives anecdotes of the history of nineteen vegetables as well as nutritional information and easy recipes. Jelly and the Spaceboat is a science-fiction novel for eight-to twelve-year-olds, set in the Sacramento Delta with the theme that it’s not where you’re from, but who you are that matters. “Occasionally, I worry that a subject may be too involved for me. But I take encouragement from writer Bill Stafford, ‘Swimmers know that if they relax on the water it will prove to be miraculously buoyant; and writers know that a succession of little strokes on the material nearest them—without any prejudgments about the specific gravity of the topic or the reasonableness of their expectations—will result in creative progress.’” Parenteau concluded: “I hope to share with readers my own love for books and adventure, and to keep them turning pages by offering humor and suspense.”

In 2007 Emily Smith Pearce realized a lifelong dream with the publication of her debut children’s book, Isabel and the Miracle Baby. “I’ve wanted to write for children ever since I was a child myself,” Pearce remarked in an essay on her home page. “I grew up spending many of my afternoons in my elementary school library because my mother was my librarian. Books were always a friendly retreat.”

A voracious reader throughout childhood and adolescence, Pearce kept her literary dreams alive by journaling and writing stories during her high school years. Still, when she entered the University of North Caro-

lina, she was intent on studying biology or studio art; her plans changed after she enrolled in a challenging and inspiring poetry-writing class. By the time the semester ended, Pearce recalled, “I wanted to be part of that mind-buzzing, heart-thumping world of literature.” Pearce eventually earned a master’s degree in writing for children from Vermont College and moved to Boston, where she wrote in her spare time while working as a nonprofit fundraiser. Pearce became a full-time writer after marrying and starting a family; she signed the contract for Isabel and the Miracle Baby just weeks after the birth of her daughter. Pearce’s tale centers on Isabel, a confused and angry eight year old who is struggling to deal with a multitude of life-changing events. After moving to a new neighborhood, the youngster has trouble making friends at school, and her father’s new job requires him to work long hours. More significantly, Isabel must share her parents’ affections with her fourth-month-old sister, Rebekah, a “miracle baby” who was born during her mother’s battle with cancer, a crisis that continues to affect the grade-schooler. “While avoiding heavy messages,” Hazel Rochman observed in Booklist, “Pearce manages to make the drama at home and school compelling.” A contributor in Publishers Weekly also offered praise for Pearce’s short novel, noting that the au-

thor “stays true to Isabel’s young perspective even as she conveys the character’s complicated discoveries about growing up.” A critic in Kirkus Reviews deemed Isabel and the Miracle Baby “a fine debut” and concluded that Pearce “conveys Isabel’s thoughts and frustrations with compassion.” Pearce continues to write and has plans for an easy reader and a young adult novel. The writing process has never lost its thrill, she remarked in a Wordswimmer online interview with Bruce Black. “I love being at the beginning of a piece, when it feels like I’m snorkeling, I’m just in the water, floating, not trying to do much of anything, just observing and collecting images. It’s so exciting to then find connections among these images, things I didn’t know were there but that somehow my subconscious did. At that point it feels the story could go anywhere, and for the time being, it’s absolutely perfect in my head.”

Sidelights As a child, Jane Ann Peddicord loved looking at the night sky, and as an adult, she never lost touch with that childlike feeling of awe. Joining the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, Peddicord crafted a children’s story, in verse, about the night sky that was eventually published as Night Wonders. Peddicord’s first book, for which she created original illustrations, won the Children’s Book Award for primary nonfiction from the International Reading Association. Told in rhyming verse, Night Wonders takes readers out beyond the planets and the sun into the far reaches of the universe, passing stars and nebulae along the way before returning to Earth. The book presents facts about astronomy while also capturing the excitement of space exploration. “Readers will be more than willing to tag along,” wrote John Peters in his School Library Journal review of the book. Childhood Education critic Rose B. Jones called Night Wonders “delightful nonfiction . . . with storybook fantasy elements.” Peddicord’s second book, That Special Little Baby, was inspired by the birth of her own children. “There is no greater joy than watching your newborn breathe and stretch and miraculously smile,” Peddicord told Cynthia Leitich Smith for Cynsations online. Although she started the story after her own children had become teens, Peddicord vividly remembered the very early stages in their lives. The baby girl in That Special Little Baby experiences the day, crawling, crying, sighing, and snuggling while discovering new things. Each day, she gets a little more confident, until by the end she is doing the kinds of things that toddlers do. “Peddicord creates a heartfelt story commemorating the wonderful development that occurs between infancy and early childhood,” wrote a contributor to Kirkus Reviews. Andrea Tarr, writing in School Library Journal, predicted that the book would “be a much-demanded, ‘Read-it, again’ picture book,” and a Publishers Weekly critic noted that “preschoolers will adore seeing themselves become so mature—and so will their parents.” “One thing I really like about writing picture books is that I can carry the work around with me inside my head,” Peddicord explained in her Cynsations interview. “Whether I’m sitting in traffic or chopping celery, I can think about a line from my current story. It’s a lot more interesting than talk radio.”

Sidelights L. King Pérez grew up in East Texas and was a reader from a young age. As she recalled on the Lee & Low Web site, “I began reading with cereal boxes and ‘Do Not Remove This Tag’ on furniture. Next came comic books . . . and then mainly childhood mysteries.” Pérez went to college in California and Ohio, eventually settling in Dayton, Ohio, with her husband. She has taught students of all ages while also pursuing a career as a poet and writer. Pérez’s first book, Belle: The Great American Lap Dog, was published by a small press, but her next found a wider audience. Ghoststalking allows readers to explore the Latino legend of La Llorona—about a mother who drowns her children and then roams the night, sobbing—in a contemporary setting. In the story friends Chuy and Emilio, both twelve years old, decide to explore the legend for their science project, and they spend a night camping in the mountains where La Llorona supposedly wanders. As Chris Sherman wrote in Booklist, Ghoststalking “is nicely spooky and raises some interesting questions about legends and how they survive and travel.” The critic predicted that Pérez’s book would appeal to young readers. Pérez turned to her husband’s experiences for her next book, First Day in Grapes. Mr. Pérez spent much of his youth as a migrant worker, picking crops all around California while also attending school. “His stories of life in the camps fascinated me,” the author explained on the Lee & Low Web site, “and there is no greater inspiration than knowing someone whose perseverance

led them to success.” First Day in Grapes follows young Chico as he begins third grade in yet another new school on the same day that his farmworker family begins harvesting grapes. Chico’s day has its ups and downs: bullies bother him and he has trouble with written English, but working in the fields has given him superior math skills. In the end, Chico stands up to the bullies and also makes a new friend. Although a Kirkus Reviews critic deemed the ending “perhaps a bit overly optimistic,” the reviewer added that “Chico’s success story is cheering, and will be useful in introducing some of the issues facing migrant kids.” “His story will resonate with migrant students and those who have moved frequently,” Linda Perkins likewise observed in Booklist. In School Library Journal contributor Rosalyn Pierini dubbed First Day in Grapes a great conversation starter about immigrants because it “sheds light on the life of migrant children in a poignant, balanced manner.” Pérez’s own childhood growing up in Texas inspired her novel Remember as You Pass Me By. In the book twelve-year-old Silvy and Mabelee are best friends, even though it is 1954 and Silvy is white and Mabelee is black. No one objected to their friendship before, but now the U.S. Supreme Court has decided that racial segregation is against the law and everyone in town is worried about race relations. Silvy tries to understand what is happening, but losing Mabelee’s friendship and seeing supposedly good adults turn angry and violent makes it difficult. Finally, Silvy and her family are faced with hard choices about friendship and justice. Calling the book a “poignant story,” Kliatt contributor Janis Flint-Ferguson stated that “readers will see the subtle social changes of the 1950s and begin to recognize how injustice is reinforced by not doing something as much as by words and actions.” “Despite occasional abrupt transitions . . . , the story flows chronologically with enough drama to keep readers turning the pages,” Bethany A. Lafferty remarked in her School Library Journal review of Remember as You Pass Me By. “Pérez’s story pulls no punches,” a Kirkus Reviews writer noted, concluding that her debut novel “is an honest, heartfelt and truthful depiction of a small Southern town during the ’50s.”

In Shanté Keys and the New Year’s Peas an energetic young girl helps her grandmother solve an urgent problem. Each year Shanté’s family rings in the new year with a meal of baked ham, macaroni and cheese, and, most important, “lucky” black-eyed peas. When Grandma realizes that she forgot to purchase the special legume, Shanté decides to scour her urban neighborhood, visiting a Scottish grocer, a Hindu friend, and a Mexican restaurant owner. Each person she visits in search of black-eyed peas teaches her about his or her own New Year’s Day tradition. Written in couplets, Shanté Keys and the New Year’s Peas garnered solid reviews. Piernas-Davenport’s “upbeat story celebrates family, community, and multiculturalism,” observed Shelle Rosenfeld in Booklist, while in School Library Journal Teresa Pfeifer cited “the light hearted rhyme [that] presents various cultural food customs associated with the holiday.”

A former science teacher turned writer, Liz Rettig makes her home in Glasgow, Scotland. “Glasgow is not a good place to live if, like me, you have fine curly hair which tends to frizz in the rain as it almost always at least drizzles here,” Rettig noted on her home page. “We Glaswegians console ourselves for our lousy weather by eating lots of junk food, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking.” Rettig’s books for middle=grade writers include My Desperate Love Diary, My Now or Never Diary, and Jumping to Confusions.

Something about the Author, Volume 199
Rettig, the youngest of eight children, was always considered by her family to be a potential author, for she was often either reading or writing. As an adult, she attempted a first novel about a woman who is abandoned by her boyfriend and goes to extreme lengths to enact revenge on him. “Like many first manuscripts this may have been largely autobiographical,” Rettig told SATA, “so no prizes for guessing who had just been dumped by her boyfriend. Needless to say this effort ended up in the garbage.” Later still, as the mother of two teenage children, Rettig decided to finally give up teaching for writing. My Desperate Love Diary, Rettig’s first novel, was four years in the making. The work, as the author described it on her home page, is “a humorous look at teenage angst and first love which tells the story of fifteen-year-old Kelly Ann’s frantic attempts to win the love of ‘G’— the biggest idiot in school—with some hilarious consequences.” As her girlfriends attempt to help Kelly Ann in her hunt for G, the teen’s parents split up over the fact that her mother has been having an affair with a younger man. All of the drama that ensues is recorded in Kelly Ann’s deadpan diary. Rettig’s debut received a positive critical reception. While noting that My Desperate Love Diary had definite similarities to Helen Fielding’s popular adult title Bridget Jones’s Diary, a Kirkus Reviews critic praised the “laugh-aloud moments” in the book and further observed that “Rettig has a good sense of humor and pacing and Kelly Ann is all too recognizable” as a typical adolescent. Similarly, School Library Journal contributor Erin Schirota commented that the novel “combines quirky humor, comical British slang, witty observations, and endearing self-deprecation to create a Bridget Jones for the teenage crowd.” A more mixed review came from a Publishers Weekly contributor who noted that Rettig’s “snappy narrative and litany of mishaps should keep readers in stitches, but the fun drags on a bit too long.” For Sam Wostear, writing in the London Sun newspaper, My Desperate Love Diary is “a feel-good summer read.” A sequel to Rettig’s debut, My Now or Never Diary, finds Kelly Ann finally coming to her senses about G. She now knows he is a nerd and that Chris, the boy next door, is the right guy for her. Yet now she faces new difficulties. Namely, as Rettig commented on her home page, “whether and when to ‘go all the way’.” In Jumping to Confusions Rettig presents a further story of romantic confusion by introducing Cat, an overweight and boring teen, or so she thinks. Cat’s self-image takes a back seat next to her trim mother and equally pert twin sister, Tessa, who has no problems attracting boys. When mysterious and good-looking Josh arrives from the United States, Cat assumes he will immediately gravitate to her sister. Instead, however, he and Cat become best friends. Cat jumps to the obvious conclusion, that Josh is gay, and she is happy enough to have him

Sidelights Growing up in Great Britain with no television, S. Jones Rogan spent her childhood exercising her imagination. She liked to read and draw, and she invented outdoor games as she explored the countryside near her home in Wales. Rogan also spent time helping her innkeeper parents with chores. As she told Bonnie O’Brian for California Readers online, “I always enjoyed meeting new guests, especially the ones from foreign countries. They seemed to bring a little piece of something new and interesting with them, a different language or accent, clothing, and stories from their homeland.” When Rogan grew up, she began traveling the world herself; eventually she settled in California and took a job as a school librarian. Rogan’s first book, The Daring Adventures of Penhaligon Brush, contains the kind of exciting escapades the author liked to dream about when she was a child. Penhaligon Brush is a young fox who is content to work as a pharmacist when he discovers his foster brother has been kidnaped. Penhaligon must thwart a villain’s plot and save a princess. A Kirkus Reviews critic remarked that “dashes of Brian Jacques and Arthurian legend combine to make this original tale humorous and suspenseful.” “The short chapters, funny lines, and exciting plot twists make this a particularly effective readaloud,” Todd Morning commented in Booklist. The Daring Adventures of Penhaligon Brush “has something for everyone—mystery, daring escapes, and a touch of romance,” Nicki Clausen-Grace concluded of Rogan’s fiction debut in School Library Journal. “With welldeveloped, believable characters and excellent pacing, it is difficult to put down.” As both an author and a librarian, Rogan enjoys inspiring children with knowledge of the power of reading. “I would like students to realize that most things are possible but dreams don’t often fall into our laps unless we pursue them,” she told O’Brien. “Books can help achieve and discover those dreams, whether one is writing them or reading them. Good stories are like the guests at the inn . . . ; they bring their own blend of excitement and flavor from places that you have never been able to visit.”

Sidelights Michael J. Rosen, an award-winning author and philanthropist, has written successfully in many different fields, including children’s books, humor, cookbooks, poetry, and religion. His works for young readers, which include A School for Pompey Walker, Elijah’s Angel: A Story for Chanukah and Christmas, and A Drive in the Country, have garnered such honors as the National Jewish Book Award and the Once upon a World Book Award. “Rosen’s work has contributed to the field of children’s literature in many ways,” remarked an essayist in the St. James Guide to Children’s Writers. “The use of a variety of artistic forms selectively chosen to carry significant ideas provides rich reading experiences and fine examples of the art of writing. His inclusion of a diversity of people interacting in natural contexts provides authentic stories of the similarities and differences that connect people to each other. Finally, by providing stories and illustrations on topics of interest to many, readers can add their own stories and contemplate the value of each situation for them individually.” The former literary director of the Thurber House in Columbus, Ohio, Rosen has also edited a number of collections containing the stories and essays of noted American humorist James Thurber. In an essay for How to Write Funny, he discussed the importance of humor in literature, stating: “We live in a culture that sentimentalizes everything, believing that if, say, someone dies, you only feel one thing and that’s why you need this greeting card. . . . Humor provides a way to let in another emotion, mitigating against sentimentality. It really acknowledges the reader as the intelligent, empathic person he or she is, by engaging the reader’s own understanding in the context of connections and inventions that the writer has brought to the page.” Born in 1954, in Columbus, Ohio, Rosen developed a love of the outdoors at a young age. He often explored the fields that surrounded his home, and he attended summer camp for more than twenty years, serving as a counselor into his twenties. At school, Rosen was drawn to artistic pursuits, including illustrating, playing guitar, and writing. He credits a number of teachers with encouraging his interest in literature. “Most influential, I found a mentor in my neighbor, Mimi Chenfeld, who was becoming one of our country’s most creative educators,” Rosen noted on his home page. “She read everything I composed (and still does today). Her passion suggested doors where before I had imagined walls.” After graduating from high school, Rosen attended Ohio State University, majoring in animal behavior, and attended medical school for a short time before earning a master’s degree in poetry from Columbia University. “Today I support my family creating books, collaborating with other artists and writers, and visiting schools,” he remarked.

Rosen deals with culture shock, including issues of hunting, in his work ChaseR: A Novel in E-mails, the story of a boy from Columbus, Ohio, whose family moves to the country. Told in a series of e-mails sent by Chase to his older sister in college and to his friends back in Columbus, the story follows the teen’s initial frustration with rural life to his eventual protest against the locals who hunt wild animals. After taking secret actions to foil the hunters, he comes to realize that there are two sides to the issue. Chase’s “journey is compelling, and brings up questions that readers will be eager to explore along with him,” wrote Elizabeth Fernandez in School Library Journal. Gillian Engberg, in Booklist, found Chase’s comments to be “funny, rambling messages.” Peter D. Sieruta, writing in Horn Book, admitted that “the likable narrator’s wry voice remains engaging throughout.”
Michael J. Rosen’s holiday-themed picture book Chanukah Lights Everywhere features artwork by Melissa Iwai. (Illustration copyright © 2001 by Melissa Iwai. Reproduced by permission.)
In the books Our Eight Nights of Hanukkah, Chanukah Lights Everywhere, and The Blessing of the Animals, Rosen deals with religious themes for a young audience. Our Eight Nights of Hanukkah chronicles the activities of one particular Jewish family as they celebrate the holiday. Among their activities is delivering presents to the local homeless shelter, visiting Jewish relatives and non-Jewish friends, and celebrating at the synagogue. Emphasizing the diversity of cultures who celebrate the holiday, and showing how neighbors of differing backgrounds can get along despite their differences, the book is “as friendly as it is politically correct,” according to a critic for Publishers Weekly. Ilene Cooper, writing in Booklist, found that “those eight nights are so warm and encompassing that many readers will want to adapt some of the narrator’s traditions as their own.” The Blessing of the Animals finds young Jared, who is Jewish, wishing to bring his pet dog, Shayna, to the local Catholic Church’s St. Francis Festival, which includes a blessing of the animals. His mother opposes the idea, however; she suggests that he ask advice from more-experienced people on whether he should take his dog to a Christian church. Among those consulted are a Catholic priest, Jared’s great-grandfather, a Sunday school teacher, and two rabbis. “Jewish youngsters living in predominantly non-Jewish neighborhoods are constantly confronted with such dilemmas,” noted Ellen Mandel in Booklist.
In Three Feet Small, a work for young readers, a bear cub bemoans his small stature. Unable to reach a coat hook or drink at a water fountain without help, the cub begins to worry that he will always remain short. One day, however, his grandfather remarks that it’s getting harder to lift the little one, and soon the cub’s bike seat needs to be raised, prompting a change in his outlook. “With plainspoken empathy, Rosen articulates his hero’s frustration without turning him into a whiner,” remarked a contributor in Publishers Weekly, and Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, writing in School Library Journal, noted that the work “speaks to the emotions of kids who can’t wait to get a little bigger.” In Balls! and Balls! Round Two, Rosen looks at the construction and production of balls used in a wide variety of sports, including lacrosse, croquet, basketball, table tennis, billiards, volleyball, and golf. Illustrated with photographs and cartoons, the works also contains puzzles, experiments, and sidebars on unusual subjects. Todd Morning, reviewing Balls! in Booklist, praised the author’s “light, comic tone, which prevents the package from becoming merely a dry recitation of facts,” and School Library Journal critic Marilyn Taniguchi observed that Rosen “serves up a feast of whimsical trivia and wordplay in Balls! Round Two. A family enjoys a leisurely Sunday outing in A Drive in the Country, a picture book by Rosen that was described as “a freeze-frame moment of the good ol’ days” by Julie Cummins in Booklist. With their three children and basset hound in tow, a couple takes to the open road, stopping to wade in a lake, visit a general store, and gather milkweed pods. A Drive in the Country earned strong reviews; a critic in Publishers Weekly complimented Rosen’s “sweetly nostalgic story,” and Lauralyn Persson remarked in School Library Journal that the author’s “free-verse text reads aloud well, with subtle rhythms and interesting language.” Animals factor into the Rosen-edited collection The Dog Department: James Thurber on Hounds, Scotties, and Talking Poodles, a gathering of humorist Thurber’s

essays and cartoons on the subject of dogs. Thurber was a dog enthusiast who often featured canines in his work. Rosen has used the proceeds from many of his edited anthologies to benefit charities. Profits from several anthologies he has edited are donated to the Company of Animals Fund, which Rosen established in 1990 to offer grants to animal welfare agencies nationwide. In addition, the profits from a number of his children’s books and two cookbooks featuring recipes from distinguished chefs benefit Share Our Strength, which aids anti-hunger agencies in the United States and abroad. In 2005 the organization presented Rosen with first Lifetime Achievement Award for his years of service. Rosen’s books, whether for children or adults, are an attempt to promote diversity and tolerance. “In stories, I’m fixed on finding the small differences in the common things we share,” he noted in an essay on his home page. “And because we all have such differences, difference is something we have in common.” Rosen added that “we read because within other’s stories, we recognize our own. All stories are brethren. When we read or tell or hear stories, we admit ourselves to this kinship, linking arms in a blockade against fear and indifference.”

Sidelights Lynda Gene Rymond lives with her artist husband in rural Pennsylvania, in a place they have named Goblin Farm. The creative environment the couple has created at Goblin Farm, which includes goats, cats, and chickens, and growing things out of doors, has also inspired Rymond’s picture-book stories The Village of the Basketeers and Oscar and the Mooncats. Featuring artwork by Italian illustrator Nicoletta Ceccoli, The Village of the Basketeers features a story with a folktale quality and a whiff of fantasy. The story takes readers to a hilltop village, where children Kip and Elsa live in a community of where everything is constructed of woven grasses. Then gusts of wind threaten to blow the villagers’ lightweight woven crafts from their hilltop

tempting. However, when the kitten realizes that a sip of moon milk will make him a mooncat too, he decides to find a way to return to his former life. Rachel Vilmar, writing in School Library Journal, recommended Oscar and the Mooncats as “a fun, offbeat addition to bedtime story collections,” while in Kirkus Reviews a writer cited Ceccoli’s “elaborately worked digital starscapes.” In Booklist Randall Enos also commented on the book’s unusual mixed-media art, writing that Ceccoli’s grey-toned moonscapes with their “unusual perspectives . . . are perfectly in keeping with the surreal nature” of Rymond’s “out-of-this-world adventure.” “As one of the world’s late bloomers,” Rymond told SATA, “it is now a delight to look back and see how necessary my meandering path has been to the development of my imagination and the tenacity needed for a life in the arts. Working on my land under the beautiful day and night skies feeds my mind and my body. People often ask me if I’m bored without a television (I haven’t had one in at least twelve years) but creatures both wild and tame astound me daily, and the sky is different moment to moment. I love that being an author gives me opportunities to speak to kids and adults about my life and the need for stories on which to build our lives.” home. Although the grownups busy themselves fashioning large baskets big enough to capture the wind, Kim and Elsa believe that the wind is actually looking for a soft place to rest. In School Library Journal, Angela J. Reynolds called The Village of the Basketeers “sweetly told and illustrated in fruity ice-cream pastel colors,” while a Kirkus Reviews writer dubbed the “fanciful” picture book “a good choice for windy day storytimes.” Rymond and Ceccoli have also collaborated on the picture book Oscar and the Mooncats. Here a curious marmalade tiger kitten named Oscar strays from his cozy home and his beloved boy when he decides to jump to the highest place he can see. Leaping from the roof of his house to the moon, the tiny kitten meets two large mooncats. While his new friends are playful and life on the moon is fun, Oscar misses his earth-bound family. When a cow comes leaping over the moon’s surface in classing nursery-rhyme fashion, the milk it provides is

Career
An author and illustrator of books for children, Barbara Samuels was raised on Long Island, New York. Growing up with two older sisters, both of whom seemed better at everything than she was, provided the inspiration for Dolores, the main character in many of Samuels’ books for children. The star of Faye and Dolores, Aloha, Dolores, and What’s So Great about Cindy Snappleby?, Dolores is a younger sister who “always seems to triumph,” as Samuels explained in an essay posted on the Macmillan Web site.
Author and illustrator. Worked as an illustrator on films and cartoons.

In What’s So Great about Cindy Snappleby?, Dolores struggles to win the attention of older sister Faye away from Faye’s guest, Cindy. When Cindy arrives, Dolores is immediately unimpressed. “The diverting details . . . packed in Samuels’s illustrations will keep children chuckling,” wrote a Publishers Weekly contributor. Dolores hatches a plan to win a trip to Hawai’i in Aloha, Dolores, and this plan involves convincing her cat, Duncan, that Meow Munchies are the best cat treat ever. The girl studies Hawai’i, photographs Duncan, and performs the hula for her class, but when another person wins the contest, Faye comforts Dolores by reminding her little sister how much of Hawai’i she brought to their home. “Bright and funny, the text is matched by sprightly ink-and-watercolor pictures that are crammed full of delicious detail,” wrote Ilene Cooper in her Booklist review of Aloha, Dolores. As Carolyn Jenks noted in School Library Journal, Samuels’ illustrations “extend the funny text by providing many details of the lively scenes.”

Dolores’s adventures continue in Dolores on Her Toes. The ballet school is hosting Tutu Day, and Dolores is determined to bring Duncan the cat to class, dressed in a cat-sized tutu. Duncan escapes as quickly as he can, and Dolores worries that the cat will not return in time to go on stage. “This has all the elements of a terrific picture book,” wrote Cooper in a favorable review of Dolores on Her Toes. In Happy Valentine’s Day, Dolores, the younger sister is tempted by a singing-frog necklace she finds in Faye’s room. She only means to borrow it, but then the clasp gets stuck and she cannot take it off. The antics that ensue involve secret admirers, lost necklaces, and sisterly love. “With so much to laugh at, children will enjoy repeat reads—and so will the grown-ups,” wrote Cooper, while a Kirkus Reviews contributor described the illustrations in Happy Valentine’s Day, Dolores as “full of visual activity and funny asides.” According to Blair Christolon in School Library Journal, “readers will ask for repeated readings in order to further examine the details on the pages.” Dolores Meets Her Match introduces Hillary, the new girl in school, who Dolores immediately sees as a potential threat. Hillary brings better cupcakes on Halloween. Worse yet, the new girl has a Siamese cat named Harold who is much fancier than Duncan, and will be major competition on Pet Day. However, when Duncan saves Harold during a Pet Day performance, Dolores and Hillary realize that they should be friends instead of rivals. “Samuels takes the routine picture-book motifs of jealousy and rivalry and dresses them to the nines in idiosyncrasies and details,” wrote Nell Beram in Horn Book, and a Kirkus Reviews writer concluded of Dolores Meets Her Match that “there’s no pussyfooting here, just fun.” According to Robin L. Gibson in School Library Journal, “the strengths” of Samuels’ “Dolores” books “are the truthfulness and humor in the depiction of relationships.”

Sidelights In works such as The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!, The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, and Math Curse, Jon Scieszka and collaborator/ artist/friend Lane Smith bring a postmodern sense of absurdity and a satiric edge to a beloved category of children’s books: the fairy tale. Scieszka and Smith also have parodied fables and produced wildly humorous works about aliens, time travel, and a variety of other subjects, and Scieszka has become an activist for encouraging boys to read. In honor of his work, in 2008 Scieszka was appointed as the first National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature by the U.S. Librarian of Congress. Scieszka’s picture books, while intended for beginning readers, have been equally popular among older children and young adults due to their sophisticated humor. As a parodist, he follows the pioneering examples of great writers of children’s literature such as L. Frank Baum, E. Nesbit, and Dr. Seuss. “What Scieszka has done is make a book equivalent of a happy meal— taking the things that most kids like in books like humor, adventure, fairy tales, and plain old silliness, and combining them into easy to read tomes which will indeed appeal to an audience of all ages,” explained Patrick Jones and Christine Miller in Twentieth-Century Children’s Writers. “Our audience is hardcore silly kids,” Scieszka told Publishers Weekly interviewer Amanda Smith. “And there are a lot of ’em out there.” Scieszka was a jokester early in life; he once told Publishers Weekly interviewer Leonard S. Marcus that he was “a stealth kid,” making his friends laugh in class while he maintained an impassive, innocent expression. Scieszka eventually attended Columbia University and studied writing, intending, as he told Smith, to “write the Great American novel.” While working as an early elementary teacher, Scieszka decided to try writing children’s books. It was a perfect match for both author and audience: Scieszka came from a large family, had always loved children, was the son of an elementary school teacher, and had enjoyed being a teacher himself.
Scieszka and Lane Smith first teamed up on the off-kilter picture book The True Story of the Three Little Pigs! (Reproduced by permission of Puffin Books, a division of Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers.)
Scieszka met Smith in the late 1980s, while he was still working as a teacher. During a sabbatical from teaching, the two men developed several book ideas and generated a picture book based on a well-known traditional story. When a Viking Press editor saw their early drawings and text for The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!, Smith and Scieszka achieved their first published work. “Lane and I got turned down in a lot of places,”

Scieszka told interviewer Amanda Smith, “because people thought the manuscript of The Three Little Pigs was too sophisticated. . . . People don’t give kids enough credit for knowing the fairy tales and being able
to get what parody is.” Scieszka continued, “When I taught second-graders, that’s the age when they first discover parody. They’re just getting those reading skills and nothing cracks them up like a joke that turns stuff

tales, but none has the power to resolve the situation. Several reviewers commented on Scieszka’s witty, mature perspective in The Frog Prince, Continued. As Mary M. Burns remarked in Horn Book, his “tale is a sophisticated variant on traditional themes . . . and yet is accessible to younger readers who enjoy—and understand—the art of parody and lampoon.” Noonan also expressed the opinion that the book speaks best to older readers. “To fully appreciate The Frog Prince, Continued,” she stated, “you have to have a highly developed sense of irony and a sharp sense of the absurd, which most children don’t develop before they can read, despite exposure to random television programming.”
Scieszka and Lane Smith wax nostalgic in creating the cut-paper adventures of two quirky heroes in Cowboy and Octopus. (Illustration copyright © 2007 by Lane Smith. Reproduced by permission of Viking, a division of Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers.)
upside down.” Teachers confirm this idea at book signings, saying how useful the book is in teaching point of view as an important facet of any story. The True Story of the Three Little Pigs! is the story of Alexander T. Wolf, who believes that he has been framed for the deaths of two of the three little pigs. This “revisionist ‘autobiography,’” as Stephanie Zvirin called it in her Booklist interview with the book’s creators, presents the familiar story from a different aspect. “It turns out that Alexander . . . only wanted to borrow a cup of sugar for a birthday cake for his granny,” wrote Roger Sutton in the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books. An itchy nose sparked the sneeze that took the pig’s house down. A similar scene plays out at the wooden home of the second pig, and Al continues to the home of the third pig, where he is finally arrested, tried, and confined in the “Pig Penn.” There is a sly contrast between Scieszka’s “innocent wolf” narrator and Smith’s sometimes morally ambiguous pictures. Alexander’s grandmother, noted Sutton, “looks a bit allthe-better-to-eat-you-with herself, and is that a pair of bunny ears poking out of the cake batter?” Scieszka’s second fairy tale, The Frog Prince, Continued, features illustrations by Steve Johnson. As the title indicates, the book takes up the fairy story “The Frog Prince” and traces it through its traditional happilyever-after ending. It seems, in this version, that the disenchanted prince and his princess are not well matched; the former frog misses the pond, and he annoys his new wife by trying to catch flies on his now-human tongue. Looking for a witch to change him back into a frog, the prince encounters magic makers from several other fairy
Scieszka and Smith have teamed up for several other books, among them The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, which takes on more classic fairy tales, as narrated by Jack and the Hen that laid the golden egg. “With a relentless application of the sarcasm that tickled readers of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!, Scieszka and Smith skewer a host of juvenile favorites,” related a contributor to Publishers Weekly. For her part, Burns noted the pairing of “an eclectic, frenetic mix of text and pictures with a kinetic display of typefaces.” “What marvelous liberties Scieszka and Smith take here,” remarked Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books contributor Roger Sutton. “For those that are studying fairy tales at the college level,” Wilkinson stated, “‘The Stinky Cheese Man’ would be the perfect key to the genre, but no one would mistake it for the old-fashioned originals.” The Book That Jack Wrote, which features illustrations by Daniel Adel, continues Scieszka’s theme of taking traditional fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and childhood favorites such as the works of Lewis Carroll, and turning them upside down. The book’s “characters are borrowed largely from children’s literature—a grinning Cheshiresque cat, a cow jumping over the moon, a pieman at the fair, Humpty Dumpty, and the Mad Hatter— but they bear only a passing resemblance to their traditional forms,” noted Nancy Menaldi-Scanlan in School Library Journal. “Readers who require logic will be stymied,” wrote a contributor for Publishers Weekly, but “those who appreciate near-Victorian oddities and Escher-like conundrums will tumble right in.” A Kirkus Reviews contributor concluded of The Book That Jack Wrote that “this one will wow even the most sophisticated.” Like The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, The Book That Jack Wrote operates on several different levels. The original rhyme, “The House That Jack Built,” is very old—perhaps dating back to 1590, according to William S. and Ceil Baring-Gould in their The Annotated Mother Goose. It belongs to a class of poems known to scholars as “accumulative rhymes”: it builds on a single statement and adds more and more detail with each line, like the Christmas carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” In The Book That Jack Wrote, however, Scieszka and Adel turn this structure
Something about the Author, Volume 199
on its head by looping the last page to the first page— the title character appears on both pages crushed under a fallen portrait. So what appears to be a straight-line story is in fact a never-ending circle. Scieszka and Smith rekindle their creative partnership with Math Curse, which was dubbed “one of the great books of the decade, if not of the [twentieth] century,” by Dorothy M. Broderick in Voice of Youth Advocates. The narrator, a little girl, reflects on the statement made by her math teacher, Mrs. Fibonacci, that any situation can be stated in terms of mathematics. According to Deborah Stevenson in Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, “The result is a story problem gone exponentially berserk.” “It’s a math curse: for the next twenty-four hours no activity remains uncontaminated by this compulsive perspective,” explained Amy Edith Johnson in the New York Times Book Review. Math Curse slyly introduces mature elements of humor—for example, Mrs. Fibonacci likes to count using the Fibonacci series of numbers—and, like a traditional math textbook, the answers to the questions are printed upside-down on the back cover. “This isn’t coating math with fun to make it palatable,” remarked Stevenson, “it’s genuine math as genuine fun.” Scieszka and Smith, Johnson concluded, “capture a genuine intellectual phenomenon: possession . . . that can swallow up a student, generally in junior high school, as systems of thought spring into three dimensions and ideas become worlds—for a time.” Nearly ten years after the publication of Math Curse, Scieszka and Smith answered reader requests for a science sequel. As in Math Curse, Science Verse finds a student allowing the comment of a teacher, this time Mr. Newton, to change the way she thinks. As a result, she begins seeing the world in terms of the “poetry of science”—in this case, literally poetry based on scientific concepts. Food additives are featured in humorous verses based on Lewis Carroll’s classic poem “Jabberwocky,” while Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” becomes the basis for a rhyme about studying dinosaurs year after year in school. In Booklist Carolyn Phelan called Science Verse “intelligent, irreverent, inviting, and downright irresistible.” Grace Oliff, writing in School Library Journal, maintained that young readers “need not be familiar with the works upon which the spoofs are based to enjoy the humor,” and Horn Book contributor Peter D. Sieruta commented that in Science Verse “Scieszka’s clever verses . . . relate simple scientific concepts about topics such as precipitation, the food chain, and atoms, while demonstrating a neat awareness of how kids think.” Other works have continued to issue from the ScieszkaSmith collaboration. Squids Will Be Squids: Fresh Morals, Beastly Fables offers up a new twist on fables by relating Aesopian fables with off-beat morals. “As with all successful parodies . . . the reader does not need to know the original to appreciate the caricature,” commented New York Times Book Review contributor Patri-

cia Marx, the critic describing Squids Will Be Squids as “a funny collection of warped fables.” Sutton, writing in Horn Book, remarked that “the humor is definitely juvenile and wears a little thin, but Scieszka has perfect pitch when it comes to this kind of thing.” A Publishers Weekly reviewer concluded that author and illustrator pay “tribute to the original fables’ economy and moral intent. . . . Beneath this duo’s playful eccentricity readers will discover some powerful insights into human nature.” In Baloney (Henry P.) Scieszka and Smith introduce readers to a creature living on another planet who is chronically late for school. To avoid punishment, he comes up with creative excuses in an unusual language that includes many foreign words and some even coined by Scieszka; a guide at the end of the book helps readers translate. “The message of the book . . . is that mysterious words are not frightening but fun,” related Ben McIntyre in the New York Times Book Review, the critic adding that “there is something pleasantly subversive . . . about this bug-eyed linguistic space creature.” Toby Clements, writing in the London Daily Telegraph, deemed Baloney (Henry P.) “a wonderful book, with illustrations that inspire and amuse.” Dubbing Scieszka and Smith “the masters of goofy,” Booklist critic Randall Enos praised Cowboy and Octopus as a collection of seven short tales about “the small sacrifices one must make to maintain a valued friend.” In the book, Octopus and Cowboy strike up a friendship and each tries to fit in with the other’s habits and preferences. Octopus samples some baked beans that Cowboy has cooked on his camp fire, while Cowboy gets to ride on his teeter-totter because of his new friend’s help balancing the other end “Those who love Scieszka and Smith’s absurd humor will get the joke,” concluded a Publishers Weekly critic, noting the book’s nostalgic origins in mid-twentieth-century comic books and paper dolls. Citing Cowboy and Octopus for its “hilarious” text, Shawn Brommer wrote in School Library Journal that each of the book’s brief stories are resolved by using “the sudden, agreeable solutions to problems that kids often come up with.” Working with Smith as well as with illustrator Adam McCauley, Scieszka has also produced the “Time Warp Trio” novels for beginning readers. According to a Publishers Weekly writer, these books serve as “an introduction . . . to other genres of literature” and downplay satire and parody in favor of fast-moving plots and contemporary comedy. “I saw a need for something between a picture book and a chapter book,” Scieszka explained to Amanda Smith. “Kids get stuck in that lull there. When I taught third and fourth grades, I couldn’t find cool-looking books to hand to boys, who, for the most part, were reluctant readers and didn’t want to be seen as dummies.” Scieszka and his coauthor wanted to make the books attractive to those readers, he continued, “so they’d pick ’em up and not feel bad about walkin’ around with ’em. But still make ’em short enough, action-packed enough, disgusting enough.”

Including such titles as The Not-So-Jolly Roger, Viking It and Liking It, and Me Oh Maya!, the “Time Warp Trio” books find Joe, Fred, and Sam able to travel through time via a magical book. They arrive at the court of King Arthur in Knights of the Kitchen Table, face the pirate Blackbeard in The Not-So-Jolly Roger, go into the future to meet their own descendants in 2095, and have a bizarre encounters with characters from classic children’s literature in Summer Reading Is Killing Me! According to a Publishers Weekly critic, the stories “demonstrate Scieszka’s perfect ear for schoolyard dialogue and humor—most notably of the bodily function variety.” The trio’s adventures almost always occur accidentally; some conversation they have will trigger the Book; in each time they visit, they have to find where the Book has disappeared to before they can return to their own

time. Because of this, they face such perils as warrior samurai and evil war leaders in Sam Samurai, raiding Vikings in Viking It and Liking It, and an evil high priest who wants to sacrifice them in Me Oh Maya! Their journeys also introduce them to such notable historical characters as Thomas Alva Edison in Hey Kid, Want to Buy a Bridge? and Leonardo da Vinci in Da Wild, Da Crazy, da Vinci. Elaine E. Knight, in her School Library Journal review of Sam Samurai, pointed out that “elements of Japanese history blend with [the book’s] wild anachronisms and off-the-wall humor.” Writing for Booklist, Kay Weisman noted that in Me Oh Maya! “Scieszka manages to work in a fair amount of information about Mayan culture.” Booklist contributor Karin Snelson noted of the whole series that “the snappy dialogue and classic boy humor in this series of chapter books guarantee chuckles from the most reluctant readers.”

The “Time Warp Trio” books also include Marco? Polo! and Oh Say, I Can’t See. In the first, Sam, Joe, and Fred are transported by the Book to the Silk Road, a trade route that spanned the arid lands between Asia and Italy during the days of Marco Polo. During a conventional Christmas vacation, the boys find themselves camping out with the troops of a discouraged General George Washington just in time to encourage the general to go forward with his planned crossing of the Delaware. In Marco? Polo! “Scieszka continues his formula of absurdity,” according to Booklist critic Gillian Engberg, and Kathleen Meulen wrote in School Library Journal that the story “is as rich in historical detail as it is in humor.” The “improbable history” in Oh Say, I Can’t See was cited for its humor by Booklist critic Carolyn Phelan, the reviewer adding that the author’s “witty dialogue keeps the pace moving along at a good clip.” One of Scieszka’s overriding goals as a writer has been to encourage reading among boys, and in his “Jon Sciezska’s Trucktown” series he teams up with the Design Garage to create a series of boy-friendly titles. In books with titles that include Smash! Crash!, Pete’s Party, and Zoom! Boom! Bully, he “draw[s] beginning readers into the zany world of anthropomorphic trucks,” according to School Library Journal writer Gloria Koster. In the series readers meet trucks such as Jack Truck, Dump Truck, Cement Mixer Melvin, Monster Truck Max, Gabriella Garbage Truck, Grader Kat, and Wrecking Crane Rosie. From construction sites, to highway driving, the heavy-duty axle’d characters in the “Trucktown” books make enough sound effects—and mess—to entertain even storyhour crowds. In Kirkus Reviews a contributor cited the series’ “combination of high-energy artwork and exuberant characters,” while School Library Journal contributor Lynn K. Vanca wrote of series opener Smash! Crash! that because of Scieszka’s use of “brief catch language” the brightly illustrated story “zooms along with plenty of pizzazz and action.” Taking a turn as a memoirist, Sciezska’s Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Mostly True Stories of Growing up Scieszka reflects on the author’s own high-energy childhood as a typical boy growing up in the 1960s. Full of photographs and other boyhood ephemera, the book has the welcome familiarity of a scrapbook, and the brief text makes Knucklehead far from intimidating to cautious fans who want to learn more about their favorite author. Booklist contributor Thom Barthelmess dubbed the memoir an “arch, glib, unapologetically shame-free outing,” predicting that Knucklehead will be a boon to Scieszka fans roped into doing a report on their favorite author. In Kirkus Reviews a reviewer commented on the “truly dorky” photographs in which Sciezska’s childhood has been captured and predicted that Knucklehead “will draw chuckles of amusement from middle-graders.” Another help to the legions of less-than-enthusiastic readers, Scieszka’s “Guys Read” campaign was inspired by statistics indicating that boys are far less proficient

at reading than girls are. “Boys are [viewed] like criminals in school; they’re seen as toxic,” he told Los Angeles Times reporter Barbara J. Odanaka. “And I’d like to save boys from that.” Odanaka related that Scieszka “is quick to stress that Guys Read is not anti-girl, but proboy,” and that he likens it to programs that encourage girls’ work in math and science. Aspects of the campaign include developing father-son book clubs and raising educators’ awareness of the types of books that will appeal to boys. “They want to read books that will titillate or electrify them first,” Scieszka told Publishers Weekly contributor Shannon Maughan. “Then we can move them into something more sophisticated, with an emotional palette that helps them become more wellrounded people.” Overall, he hopes to show boys that reading is cool. The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) had already been formulating reading programs when Scieszka began “Guys Read.” They initially approached Lane Smith to do some art work, and through that contact they learned about the efforts Scieszka had already begun. In 2001 the network, Penguin Putnam, and Scieszka began their collaboration, and since then the project has continued to grow; Scieszka manages GuysRead.com and has edited a collection titled Guys Write for Guys Read. The book includes writings by such notable “guy” authors as Gary Paulsen, Laurence Yep, and Daniel Handler (who also writes as Lemony Snicket), as well as art from Mo Willems and The Simpsons creator Matt Groenig. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly noted that “the contributors keep their works succinct and enticing, allowing boys to skip about, and dip in and out.” Scieszka explained to Kathryn R. Satterfield in Time for Kids that he chose male authors because he feels male readers can better relate to them as role models. “I thought the boys could see themselves in all these different guys,” he said. Scieszka’s distinctive brand of humor already has made many boys—and girls—consider reading to be cool. “I think that turning something upside down or doing something wrong is the peak of what’s funny to second graders,” Scieszka told Booklist interviewer Stephanie Zvirin. “Catching adults or the world at large doing something wrong empowers kids because they know the right thing—like brushing your hair with your toothbrush. If they get a gag like that, they know they’re in the real world.”

Sidelights Devin Scillian is a man of many talents. A television journalist who serves as the anchor of a nightly news show, the Detroit-based Scillian also composes and performs his own country songs and writes popular children’s books, including A Is for America: An American Alphabet and Pappy’s Handkerchief. Discussing his multi-faceted career in an interview for the Motor City Rocks Web site, Scillian remarked: “I suppose it can give some people a mild case of whiplash. Between journalism, writing for children, and writing and recording music, it sounds like I’m just all over the place. But if you think about it, they all involve storytelling. And at heart, I guess that’s what I like to do—tell stories, whether it’s through television news, country music, or children’s books.” Born in Ft. Riley, Kansas, Scillian graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Kansas in 1985. He began his broadcasting career in Topeka, Kansas; his work took him to Illinois, Texas, and Oklahoma

before he settled in Detroit, Michigan. Scillian has also traveled the globe covering stories such as the U.S. invasion of Haiti, the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. He won an Emmy award for his coverage of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City as well as an Edward R. Murrow Award for an acclaimed documentary. An accomplished singer and songwriter, Scillian has also released two albums and earned a Detroit Music Award for best country performer. Scillian also enjoys a career as a successful children’s book author; his debut title, Fibblestax, appeared in 2000. He has gone on to write a series of alphabet books for Sleeping Bear Press, beginning with A Is for America. In this work, which is told in verse, Scillian offers a glimpse into the history of the United States, examining such people and places as civil rights activist Rosa Parks and Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the site of the Wright Brothers’ successful flight. In P Is for Passport: A World Alphabet, Scillian looks at the experiences and traditions of people from different nations. “The language is clear, often introducing foreign words associated with topic and culture,” noted Margaret R. Tassia in School Library Journal. A confused farm animal is the focus of Brewster the Rooster, a picture book by Scillian. Brewster’s owners grow concerned after he begins crowing at the most inappropriate times: when young Topper Macintosh is playing ball or Grandma Pearl flips pancakes. Unfortunately, Doc Sawyer cannot determine the cause of Brewster’s malady, and he recommends taping shut the rooster’s beak until little Julie discovers the real cause of the bird’s outbursts. Reviewing the work in School

Library Journal, Mary Elam called Brewster the Rooster “an original tale that’s a visual delight,” and Booklist contributor Julie Cummins remarked that young readers will “find Brewster is a ‘fowlishly’ funny rooster.” Set in the late nineteenth century, the large-format picture book Pappy’s Handkerchief concerns Moses, an African-American youth who travels with his family from Baltimore to join the Oklahoma Land Rush. When the boy’s father is badly injured and their wagon breaks down, Moses must ride ahead and stake the family’s claim. While noting in an afterword that there were actually five land runs in the Oklahoma Territory, Scillian “presents a composite to highlight the fact that many African-Americans seized the chance to start new lives,” as a critic in Kirkus Reviews observed.

The twelve-volume series follows a young protagonist, also named Darren Shan, as he unwittingly becomes a vampire’s assistant, resists becoming a vampire himself, and fights against rival undead enemies. “He is in a situation that is beyond his control,” as Shan explained to Caroline Horn in the Bookseller, “and that’s what makes it so frightening.” In 2005, after completing the “Saga of Darren Shan” series, Shan introduced his “De-

monata” series, which focuses on three youngsters and their ongoing battle with demonic entities. “I never thought I’d make a career out of children’s books,” Shan admitted to Maria Court in the Bournemouth Daily Echo. “I was an adult author and I wrote my first book for children as a bit of fun—something for myself on the side. I remembered what I was like when I was younger and the sort of books I wanted to read back then.” Although he is Irish, Shan was born in England in 1972, and he lived with his family in Southeast London for the first six years of his life. Shan and his family then moved back to Ireland, setting up house near Limerick. Horror films were a staple for the young Shan. “I used to love these movies and those images have stayed with me throughout my life,” he told Erin Doherty in London’s Sunday Mirror, “They have had an enormous impact on my writing.” It was also about this time that he determined he wanted to become an author when he grew up. Shan began writing stories when he was fourteen years old, and his first taste of success came the following year when his was a runner-up in a script-writing contest for Irish television with a dark comedy titled “A Day in the Morgue.” Describing his adolescent years to Sarah Webb in the Irish Independent, Shan remarked: “I got a bit subdued at 14. Normal teenage stuff; selfconscious, quiet, starting to worry about what the world thinks of you. Didn’t want to say anything that might be seen as foolish by friends. So that’s why a lot of my characters are outsiders. That’s how I felt as a teenager—out of place, awkward.” His first novel, the unpublished “Mute Pursuit,” was finished at age seventeen. Shan described the work on his home page as “a futuristic cross between The Terminator and Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.” After graduating from secondary school, O’Shaughnessy returned to London for three years to attend the Roehampton Institute of Higher Education, where he studied English and sociology. Returning to Limerick, he worked at a cable television company for a couple of years and then decided to give writing a try full time. He quit his job, moved back in with his parents, and for five years pounded out novels at the rate of five or six per year. Finally he sold an adult title, Ayuamarca: Procession of the Dead, which appeared in 1999. A sequel, Hell’s Horizon, followed. Neither work was a financial success and would be overshadowed by O’Shaughnessy’s first juvenile title, a vampire tale. The “Saga of Darren Shan” opener, Cirque du Freak: A Living Nightmare, finds teenager Darren Shan and friend Steve sneaking out to visit the Cirque du Freak against their parents’ wishes. While the show features many unusual freaks and specialty performers, the most amazing—and dangerous—of them all is a real vampire with a poisonous spider whose bite is deadly. When the spider bites Steve, Darren must agree to be the vampire’s

slave in order to get enough of the poison’s antidote to save his friend. Debbie Carton, in a review for Booklist, called the novel “a rip-roaring story full of oddities, low-key horror, and occasional, unexpected poignancy.” Darren’s adventures continue in The Vampire’s Assistant, in which the teen serves as the vampiric Mr. Crepsley’s assistant. The pair return to the Cirque du Freak, where Mr. Crepsley attempts to turn Darren into a vampire. Darren refuses to drink blood, however. His friends at the circus, including a wolf man, a snake-boy, and a self-described “eco-warrior,” lead him into trouble and a bloody climax. Tim Wadham, in a review for the School Library Journal, praised the book, stating that “Shan creates heart-pounding, page-turning action.” In Tunnels of Blood Darren and his snake-boy friend, Evra, decide that Mr. Crepsley is responsible for six dead bodies that have recently turned up. However, Mr. Crepsley explains that they are the work of a “vampaneze,” a type of vampire who drains all his victims’ blood, leaving them dead. The trio sets out to find and

kill the Vampaneze. This gory adventure earned praise from John Peters, who wrote in his review for School Library Journal that Shan’s “story is compulsively readable, but it’s not for the squeamish.”
Sons of Destiny and looked forward to new ventures. “The series wanted to stop at book 12, and it was right,” he stated. “I can see now that it’s the logical, best place for the story to end.”
Vampire Mountain finds Darren and Mr. Crepsley in a perilous journey to the remote headquarters of the vampires. Darren must be presented to the council of vampire generals for their approval, a ceremony that only takes place once every twelve years. The pair also confronts the ominous Mr. Tiny, who may be as “old as time itself.” Connie Forst, writing in Resource Links, called Vampire Mountain “detailed and gripping.”
During its run, the “Cirque du Freak” series proved phenomenally successful, selling more than ten million copies. Though often cited for their bloody, gory, actionfilled plots, the novels offer much more, the author told Christopher Middleton in the London Daily Telegraph. “What I want to get across is that all actions have consequences,” Shan remarked. “It’s true that Cirque du Freak and the other 11 volumes in the Saga of Darren Shan series are sold as horror titles, but they’re more like adventure stories. . . . What the horror element does is to add spice; it’s a treat, if you like. But underpinning this whole fantasy element is the principle that doing the wrong thing can have very tangible, real results in terms of loss.”
Darren undergoes a ritual trial to prove his worth to the vampire clan in Trials of Death, the fifth volume in the series. The trial proves more difficult than he thought, however, and with the help of some friends, he tries to leave Vampire Mountain. Then the Vampaneze invade the headquarters, throwing everything into confusion. The invasion, noted Susan L. Rogers, writing in School Library Journal, brings the story to a “fever pace.” The Vampire Prince concludes this adventure at Vampire Mountain, as Darren stumbles on the truth of the conspiracy against the council.
Shan introduces the “Demonata” series with his novel Lord Loss. Planned as a ten-volume series in which each volume introduces readers to a different demonic entity, the “Demonata” books are also aimed at a youngadult audience. In Lord Loss young Grubbs Grady dis-
Hunters of the Dusk begins a trilogy within the series that explores Darren’s new life as a half-vampire prince. As war rages, Darren undertakes a dangerous quest to help vanquish the Lord of the Vampaneze. In Allies of the Night, the youthful Darren is picked up by local officials and forced to attend school. A string of murders in town, including some of Darren’s schoolmates, soon leads to a chase for the killer through an underground tunnel system. Heather Ver Voort, writing in School Library Journal, anticipated that “fans of the series will enjoy this cliff-hanger.” The hunters must escape an unruly mob before they can finish their pursuit of the Lord of the Vampaneze in Killers of the Dawn, which concludes the trilogy. Incorporating elements of fantasy, The Lake of Souls follows Darren and his friend Harkat as they attempt to unlock the mystery of Harkat’s true identity. In Lord of the Shadows Darren returns to his hometown, where danger awaits. The novel “is filled with anger, revenge, and death,” remarked Elaine Lesh Morgan in School Library Journal. In the final volume in the “Saga of Darren Shan” series, Sons of Destiny, Darren and the hunters battle for control of the night. Although Shan originally thought his story would grow to at least eighteen novels, after the publication of the penultimate tale, Lord of the Shadows, he felt strongly that the series needed to end. “For an entire year I fought against what the story was telling me, and held to the notion that I was going to carry on,” he noted on his home page. “I argued with myself constantly, trying to find holes in my reasons for stopping, refusing to admit the possibility of ending early.” Overcoming the fear of disappointing his many fans, Shan completed

covers that his whole family has been ripped to shreds by demons. When the police do not believe his story, Grady is put into a mental institution, but he is eventually saved by his Uncle Dervish, who knows about the demons threatening their family. Paula Rohrlick, writing in Kliatt, admitted that the violent story is “gross as well as engrossing.” A critic for Kirkus Reviews found that Shan’s “pace is non-stop, keeping the reader turning pages.” Demon Thief, set three decades before Lord Loss, centers on Kernel Fleck, a lonely teen whose ability to travel between dimensions leads to disaster when a horrible beast kidnaps his little brother. “Readers who love the ghastly and demand a fast pace will be asking for more,” Walter Minkel predicted in School Library Journal. Grubbs makes a return appearance in Slawter, in which a demonic presence wreaks havoc on a horror movie set. Jake Kerridge, writing in the London Daily Telegraph, noted that “Shan is not just a mindless purveyor of grisly thrills. Like all good fantasists, he is interested in showing the reactions of ordinary people to extraordinary events.” Demon Thief finds Grubbs developing magical powers, but as the story plays out, he realizes that magic has a definite down side. “Shan’s portrayal of his troubled hero is convincing and affecting,” Kerridge added. In Bec, Shan introduces the third narrator in his “Demonata” series. An orphan who hopes to become a priestess, Bec joins forces with a Druid boy to stop an invasion of demons in Celtic Ireland. According to School Library Journal critic Tim Wadham, the novel “is classic Shan, with lightning-fast plotting, over-thetop gore, and an overarching sense of gloom and despair.” In Blood Beast, Grubbs, who may be turning into a werewolf, discovers a mysterious treasure surrounded by evil forces. “Here’s another horrific, edge-of-the-seat gore fest,” Minkel remarked. Though he has come a long way from his days as a struggling young writer living with his parents, Shan will not allow his success to change his approach to his work. “I’ve always written ‘purely,’” he noted on his home page. “I enjoy telling stories, and I’ve always written stories that I’ve enjoyed, simply because I enjoy writing them. Some of those stories (The Saga) have been huge successes. Others . . . haven’t.” The author concluded, “But I enjoyed writing the ‘failures’ just as much as the ‘successes,’ and the ones which haven’t been published are every bit as important and dear to me as the ones which have sold millions of copies all around the world.”

Sidelights Based in Australia, Lisa Shanahan trained in the dramatic arts until a stint writing plays for children inspired her to turn from acting to writing. Her middlegrade novel Sweetie May confirmed that her choice was a good one when it was awarded a Notable Book designation from the Children’s Book Council of Australia. In addition to writing a sequel, Sweetie May Overboard, Shanahan has also created the picture books What Rot!, Bear and Chook, and Gordon’s Got a Snookie. In Gordon’s Got a Snookie, which is illustrated by Wayne Harris, a silverback gorilla joins the inhabitants of an Australian zoo, but earns ridicule because he always carries a baby blanket. However, when a baby gorilla falls into the moat surrounding the gorilla area, the quick-thinking Gordon uses his blanket as a rescue rope and finds that jeers quickly turn to cheers. In School Library Journal, Rachel G. Payne called Gordon “a sympathetic character.” Originally published in the author’s native Australia as My Big Birkett: The Sweet, Terrible, Glorious Year I Truly, Completely Lost It, The Sweet, Terrible, Glorious Year I Truly, Completely Lost It is geared for a middlegrade readership. Here Shanahan introduces fourteenyear-old Gemma Stone. In addition to watching older sister Debbie lose her mind as she prepares for her upcoming wedding, Gemma worries about pulling off her speaking part in an upcoming school production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Boy problems are also a source of constant worry, as Gemma tries to decide whether to pursue the popular and dishy Nick or the deeply troubled and sultry Raven. While “Shanahan’s quirky characters are a riot, . . . the depth of Gemma’s growth and heartbreak is genuinely profound,” concluded Terri Clark in her review of The Sweet, Terrible, Glorious Year I Truly, Completely Lost It for School Library Journal. In Kirkus Reviews a critic characterized Gemma’s observations on life as “funny, engaging, and relatable,” and Krista Hutley wrote in Booklist that the young-adult novel, while taking place Down Under, “addresses issues of small-town life that will resonate with many American teens.” Characterizing Shanahan’s book as “an uproariously funny, surprisingly intense read,” a Publishers Weekly critic added that “a savvy blend of sharp wit and weight grounds its [author’s] otherwise over-the-top humor.”

Sidelights Award-winning British author and illustrator Nick Sharratt is known for his brightly colored cartoon art and his engaging early readers. In books such as Look What I Found!, Croc with a Clock, Shark in the Park!, and Muddlewitch on the Farm, Sharratt uses bold, bright colors to portray situations from the everyday to the adventurous, sometimes incorporating basic concepts such as counting and colors in with the fun. In Look What I Found!, for example, a little girl goes to the beach with her family and discovers fascinating objects along the shore, while in Rocket Countdown readers learn about numbers while getting ready for a moon trip. Sharratt also uses humor in some of his books to keep young readers entertained. Monday Run-Day depicts funny scenes, such as dogs dressed in ties for Friday’s tie day; and in Snazzy Aunties a little boy’s aunts wear or carry bizarre accessories. Reviewing Shark in the Park!, in

which a boy has a strange sighting through his toy telescope, a Kirkus Reviews critic dubbed the book a “clever offering” that “keeps kids guessing.” My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh (published in the United States as My Mom and Dad Make Me Laugh) is about a boy who has very odd parents. Dad always wears clothes with stripes, while Mom always wears outfits with spots. Simon, however, prefers clothes that are gray. When the family goes on a safari, Dad likes the animals that have stripes, such as the zebra, and Mom likes spotted creatures, including the leopards. Simon’s favorite, though, is the elephant, and this explains why he always dresses in gray. My Mom and Dad Make Me Laugh drew praise from reviewers who enjoyed both Sharratt’s narrative and his illustrative techniques. School Library Journal contributor Marianne Saccardi lauded the “pleasant, rhythmic quality” of the author’s writing, noting that his “cartoon-style crayon drawings perfectly suit the child narrator’s tone.” Carolyn Phelan, writing in Booklist, especially liked the illustrations, calling them “bold and sassy and full of spotty-stripy detail.”

Sharratt adds a new layer of humor to Kes Gray’s popular “Daisy” books, which include 006 and a Half. (Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007. Illustration copyright © 2007 by Nick Sharratt. Reproduced by permission.)
Graphic design also comes into play in books such as Ketchup on Your Cornflakes?: A Wacky Mix-and-Match Book. Here Sharratt uses a Dutch-door technique that lets children combine pictures in funny ways. Sharratt’s text can be split up as well, so that more than one inappropriate combination can be created. “Useful as toy, game, and concept book, this seems likely to provoke endless giggles and riffs on the theme,” declared Deborah Stevenson in a review of Ketchup on Your Cornflakes? for the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, and a London Guardian critic dubbed it a “rich
and rather funny book.” Sharratt uses the same Dutchdoor technique in A Cheese and Tomato Spider, combining people, animals, and various kinds of food. In Shark in the Park Sharratt once again combines “bright, cheerful, clean-lined illustrations and bouncy, repetitive text” to create an “enjoyable” easy reader, in the words of Booklist contributor Todd Morning. A little boy named Timothy has just received a new telescope, and now he is testing it out in the park. He keeps thinking that he sees a shark in the duck pond, and indeed, through a hole cut in the page, the reader can see what
Something about the Author, Volume 199
appears to be a shark’s fin. Upon turning the page, however, the object in view is always shown to be something else: a cat’s ear, a crow’s wing, his father’s black hair. The final spread reveals the truth—there really IS a shark in the duck pond—but Timothy does not see it. Sharratt’s carefully engineered illustrations combine with his text to make the point that one should be wary of drawing hasty conclusions. “This crafty interactive picture book is one hundred percent bliss and very toothsome indeed,” Lyn Gardner declared in the London Guardian. In addition to creating original picture books, Sharratt also illustrates texts by other writers, such as Kes Gray, Jacqueline Wilson, Giles Andreae, and Sean Taylor. Sure to provoke giggles from the preschool set are Pants and More Pants, two books by award-winning writer Andreae that make rhyming fun of underpants. Not just any underpants, but underpants that are “bigger, bolder and more ridiculous than any in real life,” as Julia Eccleshare declared in the London Guardian. Sharratt’s illustrations for Pants “reinforce the sense of fun with a series of gleeful, boldly outlined images in an electric palette,” noted a Publishers Weekly reviewer. Eccleshare praised More Pants as full of “such colossal brio” that “it would be impossibly curmudgeonly not to en-

joy” it, and in School Library Journal critic Heide Piehler noted, in particular, Sharratt’s contribution of “zany images [that] are sure to provoke giggles.” Gray’s “Daisy” books, which include Eat Your Peas, 006 and a Half, Double Trouble, and Tiger Ways, focus on a spunky young girl whose imagination is encouraged by her loving parents. Reviewing 006 and a Half, in which Daisy plays secret agent until a purplemustachioed super spy (who looks uncannily like Mom) calls her in to dinner, Booklist critic Shelle Rosenfeld wrote that Sharratt’s “colorful, cartoonish, simply rendered art is expressive.” A dinner-table face off is the subject of Eat Your Peas, which features cartoons that “have an appealing simplicity, basic shapes and bold colors,” according to a Kirkus Reviews writer. Taylor’s When a Monster Is Born also benefits from Sharratt’s lighthearted approach; “with fuscia horns, dopey-looking teeth, and one blue . . . eye,” Sharratt’s depiction of the story’s star “is clearly more goofy than terrifying,” Susan Dove Lempke assured nervous young readers in her Booklist review. As Myers wrote in School Library Journal, Sharratt’s large-format, textured art, with its “dramatic black backgrounds, and bold colors leap off the page at readers, just like a monster jumping out of a closet.” A Kirkus Reviews writer concluded of
144 • SHARRATT
When a Monster Is Born that the artist’s “heavily-lined cartoon illustrations are a perfect match for Taylor’s debut” picture book. Sharratt has also become known to older audiences as the illustrator of Jacqueline Wilson’s massively popular books for middle-graders and young adults. Wilson’s stories tackle challenging topics, including death, mental illness, abandonment by one’s parents, and the formation of blended families, although often with a light tone. Sharratt’s cartoon-like illustrations are a good compliment for Wilson’s style, reviewers have generally remarked. For example, his drawings for The Lottie Project and The Story of Tracy Beaker, both of which are told partially through journals kept by their preteen protagonists, “match the book’s informal tone and help lighten some of the more serious moments,” as Kitty Flynn wrote in a Horn Book review of the first title. A Publishers Weekly critic wrote that in The Story of Tracy Beaker “Sharratt’s drawings help to keep the mood light.” Sharratt once told SATA: “I’ve been making pictures for as long as I can remember, and I was nine when I decided I was going to be an illustrator by profession. As a child, I always wanted the same things for birthdays and Christmas: a bumper pack of felt-tip pens and lots of drawing paper, and I liked nothing better than to spend all day in my room, drawing, eating sweets, and listening to the radio. Nothing’s changed—except that nowadays I use other media besides felt tips. A complete workaholic, I find it very hard to have weekends off, and I invariably sneak ongoing projects into my suitcase when I’m supposed to be taking a holiday. That’s what happens when you really love your work!”

Loops: Great Inventions in Sports and Linda Bailey’s “Good Times Travel Agency” nonfiction series to Ruth Ashby’s biographical picture book Caedmon’s Song and Robert Heidbreder’s Drumheller Dinosaur Dance. In addition to his work as an artist, Slavin has also created the original self-illustrated picture book The Stone Lion, winner of a 1997 Storytelling World Honor Book designation. Joining with his brother, Jim Slavin, he has also contributed both text and pictures to Transformed: How Everyday Things Are Made, which describes how sixtynine common objects—from baseballs and kitty litter to yogurt and dental floss—are made. In School Library Journal, Ann Joslin called Transformed a “lively presentation” highlighted by “whimsical cartoon art” that will appeal to younger children, while GraceAnne A. DeCandido deemed the book “a jaunty and enthusiastic foray into how stuff is made” in her Booklist review. Slavin had ambitions to be an artist—and specifically a book illustrator—at an early age. As a third grader he
Something about the Author, Volume 199
produced an illustrated book, “Zok the Caveman,” which, he once told SATA, “was such a success that I promptly followed it up with a sequel, ‘The Adventures of Black Cloud, Son of Zok.’” In the third grade, Slavin also had what he considers his first commercial success: a prize-winning poster aimed at discouraging smoking in bed that earned the budding artist twenty-five dollars. He kept on writing and illustrating books and comics throughout elementary and secondary school and even had a comic strip, “Rat Fink,” published in a local newspaper while he was in high school. Slavin studied cartooning and graphic illustration for two years in college before going to work as a commercial artist. After several years spent working for publishing houses and educational software companies, he finally got a chance to fulfill his ambition of illustrating a children’s book with Too Many Chickens, written by Paulette Bourgeois. Children’s books have since become Slavin’s primary work. “It is work which I love,
Stanley and his scrappy canine friends have an adventurous outing in Stanley’s Wild Ride, a collaboration between Slavin and author Linda Bailey. (Illustration copyright © 2006 by Bill Slavin. Used by permission of Kids Can Press Ltd., Toronto.)

and I consider myself a most fortunate person to be working in this industry,” he once told SATA. Although he illustrated Too Many Chickens using chalk pastel, watercolor, pen and ink, and acrylic paints have since become Slavin’s preferred media. “I tend to work quickly and impetuously at my art, but am trying to learn to slow down,” he explained. While Slavin enjoys illustrating fiction, nonfiction has proved to be a significant part of his body of work. “Although my first love is and always will be the storybook, nonfiction illustration poses its own challenges,” he explained in a biographical sketch published on the Canadian Society of Children’s Authors, Illustrators, and Performers (CANSCAIP) Web site. “My real lack of interest in things scientific seems to have made me uniquely qualified to illustrate this genre. I believe it is the desire to make my work interesting to me that defines how I embrace these subjects, and the result is an
approach to the illustrations that is not overly ponderous or didactic. Having said this, I have a real love for history, and am thrilled by books or the parts thereof that have a historical slant. And coming full circle, I believe my love for the narrative found in picture-book illustration is reflected in my nonfiction illustration.” In his illustration assignments, Slavin contributes to a wide variety of storybooks for children, usually without any restrictions dictated by the author, as he noted on the CANSCAIP Web site. In The Cat Came Back, a traditional story in song about a cat who just will not stay away, Kathleen Tucker’s adaptation of the traditional lyrics and Slavin’s watercolors are “well-married,” noted Melody Collins Thomason in Canadian Children’s Literature, because both have a lighthearted, humorous tone. In his work for Eileen Spinelli’s Something to Tell the Grandcows, Slavin brings to life the story of a cow who tags along with Admiral Byrd on

his expedition to the South Pole in order to have an exciting story with which to impress future bovine generations. Slavin’s “spirited acrylic illustrations are a perfect match” for Spinelli’s tale, according to a Kirkus Reviews writer, while in School Library Journal Carolyn Janssen maintained that the “artwork . . . perfectly captures this delightful bovine, whose upbeat personality shines in the single-and double-page paintings.” A more serious tale is told in Tim Wynne-Jones’s adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Some critics commented that the adaptation simplifies but does not sugarcoat Hugo’s story of the cathedral bellringer Quasimodo and his sufferings at the hands of those who see his grotesque physical appearance rather than his loving nature. Slavin’s illustrations reveal his “mastery of detail” in portraying the story’s setting, Paris in the Middle Ages, a Publishers Weekly reviewer observed. On the lighter side, Slavin aims his humor at younger readers in his collaboration with Linda Bailey. Bailey’s Stanley’s Party finds a dog who, bored with being left alone, decides to indulge in all sorts of forbidden activities when his owners are out. Eventually, he hosts a large party for his canine friends Nutsy, Gassy Jack, and Alice, but when his owners walk in on it, they conclude that they should take Stanley with them more often when they travel. Slavin illustrates this story with a diverse assortment of dogs, and he displays “great skill and humour,” according to Resource Links critic Isobel Lang. In Booklist contributor Ilene Cooper found the book’s artwork “bursting with life,” while School Library Journal reviewer Shawn Brommer reported that “Slavin captures the frivolity of Stanley’s bash.” A Kirkus Reviews writer summed up Stanley’s Party as “a triumphant cautionary tale that will leave both adults and kids laughing.”

provide plenty of facts. Slavin’s cartoonish artwork is “packed with details,” commented Donna L. Scanlon in a School Library Journal review of Adventures in Ancient Egypt and Adventures in the Middle Ages. Critiquing the same books, Resource Links contributor Valerie Pollock noted that the visual details are “interesting and amusing.” Francisca Goldsmith, discussing Adventures in Ancient Greece in Booklist, called Slavin’s efforts for that book “handsomely painted” and “inviting.” In Adventures in the Ice Age, “Slavin’s colorful illustrations clarify the details and add to the appeal,” according to Booklist critic Kay Weisman, while in School Library Journal Lynda Ritterman wrote of Adventures in Ancient China that Slavin’s “colorful, detailed cartoons” contribute to the “fun and educational” aspects of Bailey’s text. Slavin’s science-oriented books include Bleeps and Blips to Rocket Ships: Great Inventions in Communications by Alannah Hegedus and Kaitlin Rainey. Spanning such topics as paper manufacturing and fiber options, the book offers elementary and middle-school students a look at how communications technology has evolved over the past two centuries. Slavin’s illustrations, reported Linda Wadleigh in School Library Journal, are “expertly done,” frequently featuring extra information and “a touch of humor.” Focusing on the town in Alberta, Canada where a great number of dino-
Stanley and his tail-wagging friends return in several other picture books, including Stanley’s Wild Ride, Stanley at Sea, and Stanley’s Beauty Contest. A hole in the fence surrounding his yard leads Stanley to freedom and a thrilling day spent chasing cats, running with his friends, and riding around on some fast-moving toys. In Stanley at Sea the hungry dogs take to the water in search of a meal, and are fed steak and sausages by the sailors who finally rescue them. According to School Library Journal contributor Gay Lynn Van Vleck, “Slavin’s splendid acrylic paintings [for Stanley at Sea] . . . teem with detail and texture,” and his “whimsical, detailed” illustrations for Stanley’s Wild Ride “capture the exuberant action and humor” of Bailey’s “charming canine characters,” according to Gillian Engberg in Booklist. Slavin and Bailey have also teamed up for a series of books that join fact and fiction to teach middle graders about history. In the “Good Times Travel Agency” series, three siblings journey through time to experience life in a variety of periods and cultures. Their adventures have enough humor to appeal to children but also

saur bones have been found, Drumheller Dinosaur Dance draws readers into what a Publishers Weekly contributor described as “a nightly dinosaur fandango macabre.” Joined by his wife, Esperança Melo, Slavin creates acrylic paintings that “evoke . . . the weirdly eroded landscape” in Heidbreder’s rhyming text through “dramatic perspectives,” according to the critic. While Slavin has worked primarily as an illustrator, he received substantial acclaim for The Stone Lion, which he wrote as well as illustrated. The picture book is set in medieval Europe, and the lion in question graces a cathedral tower but dreams of becoming free to roam. It bonds with a young apprentice silversmith who misses both his home village, which is far from the cathedral town, and his grandmother, who is on her death bed. The grandmother and the lion once knew each other, and when the young man reunites them, both are able to find peace and release. Slavin’s “gravely luminous story” finds a youth learning to deal with death and loss while also encountering “the truth of dreams that are, like love, strong as death,” according to Linda E. Marshall in Canadian Children’s Literature. With his imaginative text and subtle illustrations, the author/illustrator creates “an ethereal, yet believable world of fairy-tale,” wrote Julie Bergweff, reviewing the work in Books in Canada. A contributor to Resource Links dubbed The Stone Lion “a touching and stirring story” that is also “quiet” and “evocative.” Further praise came from Kelly L. Green in Canadian Book Review Annual, who called Slavin’s original picture book “wonderful.” Slavin produces his work from a setting he calls “paradise”: a farmhouse on the outskirts of Millbrook, Ontario. He and his wife, artist Melo, share a studio in the house where they work together on a variety of projects, including book formatting and design. Slavin once described Melo to SATA as “an integral part of all I do.”

Sidelights Working from her studio in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, award-winning illustrator and portrait painter Anne Spudvilas works in a wide range of media, including oils, charcoal, water color, inks, and printmaking techniques. Her art has been featured alongside texts by a number of well-known children’s writers, among them Isobelle Carmody, Margaret Wild, Ian Bone, Sophie Masson, and Gary Crew. Describing her first picturebook project, creating illustrations for Christobel Mattingly’s The Race, Spudvilas noted that “it is still my favorite, largely I think because I’ve used my son Rene as a model, and I’ve always loved painting him.” In fact, many of the human characters in Spudvilas’s artwork are based on family members, as well as on friends and neighbors. “I’ve always drawn, as far back as I can remember,” Spudvilas once told SATA. “My drawing ability led to work on the local newspaper, then to advertising layout and illustration.” After studying painting and exhibiting her work, the artist earned a commission to paint the first woman mayor of Melbourne and was then tapped to work as a courtroom artist for city news outlets. “My introduction to illustration came in 1990,” she continued, “when writer and friend Isobelle Carmody invited me to illustrate the cover of her wonderful book The Gathering for Penguin. More covers followed, my confidence was bolstered, and I sent out samples of my work to every children’s publisher I could think of. I’ve had steady work ever since.”
Something about the Author, Volume 199
The experiences of a budding astronomer living in the mid-1800s are the focus of Crew’s Bright Star, and here Spudvilas contributes “beautifully lit scenes captured in impressionistic paintings,” according to Booklist critic Carolyn Phelan. In her illustrations for Dancing to Freedom: The True Story of Mao’s Last Dancer, a picturebook adaptation of Li Cunxin’s memoir Mao’s Last Dancer, Spudvilas exhibits her versatility, contributing what Booklist critic whiJennifer Mattson described as “delicate, inked line-and-wash illustrations” that “will register strong emotions, even among readers unfamiliar with the tale’s political subtexts.” The Australian version of this book, titled The Peasant Prince, earned several major awards for both author and illustrator. During her career as an illustrator, Spudvilas has worked with a variety of authors, but her most inspired works have been collaborations with writer Margaret Wild. Their first joint work, Big Cat Dreaming, finds two young children enjoying the cozy home of their catloving grandmother. This gentle story is brought to life in what Booklist critic Stephanie Zvirin characterized as “shades of deep orange and brilliant white,” which “add warmth and depth” to Wild’s story. Described by Mattson as a “disquieting picture book” that “packs a wallop,” the very different Woolvs in the Sitee pairs a primitive, phonetically crafted first-person text with Spudvilas’s rough, darkly toned images. Art and text serve to create a “brooding, enigmatic atmosphere” within which readers sense a terror building in the young narrator as he perceives a threat growing in his abandoned urban neighborhood. Characterizing the book as a “jarring reading experience,” Kate McClelland wrote in School Library Journal that the unsettling effect “is further magnified by Spudvilas’s visual interpretation of the boy’s world in heavy, aggressive charcoal line and watercolor wash, the palette dark with rare splashes of color.” “Using colors that suggest shadows and burning, Spudvilas creates a scary, depopulated urban setting heavy with unspecific threat,” wrote a Kirkus Reviews writer, calling Woolvs in the Sitee “provocative reading.” “Illustration is a really enjoyable part of my career as a painter,” Spudvilas explained. “The feedback from children is wonderful. I visit schools quite regularly to talk about my work and demonstrate drawing. I have travelled extensively in Australia, Asia, and Europe giving workshops and I’m always rewarded by the children themselves, their enthusiasm, questions, and the wonderful art they produce. Illustration provides an ongoing life for my work that makes it a satisfying area in which to be involved.”

Sidelights Alongside his career as a fine-art painter, Ken Stark has illustrated a number of stories for young readers in addition to creating original self-illustrated children’s books. He relies on his wife Chris to help with research for his illustration projects, the first of which was creating art for Growing Seasons by Elise Lee Spear. Growing Seasons focuses on growing up on a farm in Illinois in the early 1900s, and here the illustrator’s “evocative paintings are filled with motion, life, and homey details,” wrote Lee Bock in a School Library Journal review of the book, and Booklist reviewer Carolyn Phelan cited “Stark’s pleasing, impressionistic style.” A Publishers Weekly contributor wrote of Growing Seasons that Stark “bathes his nostalgic compositions in a glow of contentment” that enhances Spear’s text. For Seeing the Elephant: A Story of the Civil War, a picture book by Pat Hughes, Stark and his wife researched what Washington, DC, looked like in the 1860s. For this book, his “realistic paintings are remarkable both for their artistry and their meticulous attention to historical accuracy,” wrote Grace Oliff in School Library Journal. A Kirkus Reviews contributor also praised Stark’s art for the book, writing that “his scenes are rich in period detail and capture the general look of both interiors and of streets crowded with soldiers.” The Orphan Train, a book by Berla Kay that is set in the late 1800s, shows the journey of two children who are sent from an orphanage to live with a family on a farm. In his artwork, Stark “takes readers from the American version of Dickensian squalor to bucolic prairie bliss in the space of a few pages,” a Kirkus Reviews critic wrote in describing Kay’s book. Oh, Brother!, Stark’s first self-illustrated title, is loosely based on his childhood growing up in rural Illinois during the 1950s. The vignettes recounted on the pages are accompanied by double-page spread paintings, and show ice-cream trucks driven by bicycle, hills of corncobs for playing games, and a hen-house roof from which boys can jump. “In short, they had their imagination and a bunch of raw materials with which to keep them not simply occupied, but alive, mind and soul,” explained a contributor to Kirkus Reviews. Sheilah Kosco, writing in School Library Journal, described the artwork as “done in muted tones that recall a time past, and it shows, even more than the first-person narrative, the details of life during this era.” In Booklist Carolyn Phelan dubbed Oh, Brother! “a warm, never-sappy reminiscence.”
Something about the Author, Volume 199
Stark tells the story of the six-day chase that was one of the final encounters between Union and Confederate troops in Marching to Appomattox: The Footrace That Ended the Civil War. The book describes how Southern General Robert E. Lee hoped to escape Union General Ulysses S. Grant’s surrounding forces, and how the two men met for the first time when Lee surrendered. Booklist contributor John Peters noted that Stark alternates between the point of view of the Union and Confederate forces “in both the text and the realistic painted illustrations.” Calling Stark’s text “folksy,” Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst noted in School Library Journal that the author/illustrator “is respectful of both Grant and Lee, and depicts the soldiers on both sides as having more in common than not.” Stark built a career as an award-winning cartoonist for the Kankakee (Illinois) Daily Journal before moving to Wisconsin and starting to paint full time. He and his wife now live in a log house built in the 1800s. Because their home does not have indoor plumbing, the Starks’ water comes from an outside pump and a woodburning stove provides heat and asks as a water heater and a way to cook their food. For a long time, the Starks used only oil lamps, but they have since added electricity to enable Stark to continue his painting after sundown.

Sidelights Sue Stauffacher established her career as a writer in addition to raising her family, working as a teacher, and advocating for literacy. She published her first book, the novel S’gana, the Black Whale, in the early 1990s, but her second, the folktale collection The Angel, and Other Stories, took another decade to reach bookstore shelves. Stauffacher’s books for young readers have since appeared in quick succession and include the middlegrade novels Donuthead, Donutheart, and Harry Sue, as well as the picture books Bessie Smith and the Night Riders and Nothing but Trouble: The Story of Althea Gibson, the latter the winner of the 2008 NAACP Image Award for Excellence. Donuthead and Donutheart focus on Franklin Delano Donuthead, a fastidious and compulsively clean eleven year old who lives with his single mom and attends the fifth grade. In Donuthead Franklin is befriended by Sarah Kervick, a new girl at his school who behaves like a tough kid in order to cover the fact that she comes from a poor family and has difficulty reading. In Booklist Francisca Goldsmith noted the book’s “gentle humor” and Stauffacher’s “accessible treatment of some very real, not commonly addressed issues.” Containing “lovely messages about kindness and hope,” the novel also features “light and funny” moments, noted Lauralyn Persson in School Library Journal, and a Kirkus
158 • STAUFFACHER
Reviews critic dubbed Donuthead “unique and magical.” Also citing the novel’s humor, a Kirkus Reviews writer added that “the laughs are balanced by [the] genuine pathos” of Sarah’s challenging home life. In Donutheart Franklin and Sarah are now in the sixth grade at Pelican Middle School, where they each face a series of new challenges. For Sarah, learning to figure skate is her primary goal, while Franklin anguishes over his first crush while continuing to check on potential health risks via phone calls to the National Safety Department. Calling Franklin “a character readers will like,” Hazel Rochman added in Booklist that in Donutheart Stauffacher presents a “wry, touching commentary on middle-school survival.” Stauffacher introduces another unique protagonist in Harry Sue, a novel that a Publishers Weekly critic dubbed “lengthy, ambitious, but briskly paced.” With both her parents now in prison, eleven-year-old Harry Sue Clotkin decides that the best way to escape the home of her manipulative and intolerant Granny is to undertake a crime spree successful enough to get her incarcerated and housed in the cell adjoining Mom’s. In a tale characterized by what Booklist critic Jennifer Hubert described as “quirky, touching characters and sidesplitting dialogue,” Stauffacher’s heroine comes to term with her own mixed emotions while developing a relationship with a disabled friend. Harry Sue is “a riveting story, dramatically and well told, with characters whom readers won’t soon forget,” according to School Library Journal contributor Susan Oliver. Both Bessie Smith and the Night Riders and Nothing but Trouble are picture-book biographies featuring notable women of color. In the first, Stauffacher takes readers back to the summer of 1927, as noted blues singer Bessie Smith performs in rural North Carolina until she is disrupted by hooded members of the Ku Klux Klan. In Nothing but Trouble artist Greg Couch brings to life Stauffacher’s story about black tennis star Althea Gibson and her color-barrier-breaking win at both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon. Bessie Smith and the Night Riders is “dramatic fare,” wrote Cooper, while in Publishers Weekly a critic praised Nothing but Trouble for its “rhythmic, conversational prose and “vibrantly expressionistic pictures.” Challenging herself to create reading materials that would both entertain and teach basic reading skills, Stauffacher followed the strategy of the beloved Dr. Seuss in creating her “Wireman” comics for reluctant readers. Featuring the most common words in the English language, the series finds its hero and a gang of loyal friends mixing with bullies and other ne’er-do-wells in a range of dramatic locales. Privately published through a combination of loans and grants, Stauffacher’s “Wireman” comics have been incorporated into the reading curriculum of the Grand Rapids, Michigan, Public Schools, and interest is growing. “Image and text is the future of literacy,” Stauffacher noted
Something about the Author, Volume 199
in an interview with Beth Loechler for the Grand Rapids Press. “Kids are in a whole different place today. ‘Beowulf’ in old English just can’t compete.” “I have devoted my career to cultivating a passion for reading in children from vastly different backgrounds,” Stauffacher once told SATA. “In a nutshell, my most recent writing focuses on funny books about serious topics. I divide my time between writing and helping professionals—librarians, teachers, and concerned community members—encourage and strengthen literacy and critical-thinking skills, and compassionate action in children.”

Sidelights Joan Steiner is a self-taught artist who uses mixed media in her three-dimensional work: from the traditional paint, paper, clay, and fabric to wire, wood, socks, subway tokens, and even dog biscuits. In her acclaimed picture books, such as Look-Alikes and Look-Alikes around the World, Steiner uses familiar household items in unexpected ways to create sophisticated dioramas that amaze and delight readers. As Heather Vogel Frederick noted in Publishers Weekly, “her intricate threedimensional dioramas tweak everyday places such as a hotel lobby, a playground and a city street, through the use of trompe l’oeil. In Steiner’s parallel visual universe, broccoli might double as a tree, a stack of compact discs as a skyscraper or cinnamon sticks as the pilings on a pier.”

Something about the Author, Volume 199
Steiner introduces an imaginative and wholly original form of picture-book art in Look-Alikes. (Copyright © 1999 by Joan Steiner. Reproduced by permission of Little, Brown & Company, Inc.)
The success of Steiner’s works, which have sold more than a million copies, results from her ability to blend the ordinary with the fantastical. “Miniature worlds, whether in dollhouses or in books, are not only comforting, they are pure fun as well,” Elisa Kleven wrote in Book Links. “Cups made from thimbles or clocks made from watches, like the animal shapes we see in clouds, provide the pleasure of visual puns. They invite the mind to perform a kind of alchemy, making artists and magicians of us all. Much of the success of Joan Steiner’s ingenious Look-Alikes books comes from this kind of pleasure: we see a cowbell, but we also see a tower, or a corduroy shirt that is also a plowed field.”
illustration, resulting in a general store made from everyday objects. That led to more work at magazines like Sesame Street and Nickelodeon, but her career took off in 1994 after photographer and friend Walter Wick suggested that she contact Writers House with her “Look-Alikes” concept.
A graduate of Barnard College, Steiner began her career creating original crafts. “I liked art, but I knew I couldn’t just strike out and be a painter, because I had no formal training,” she told Danielle Furfaro in the Albany, New York, Times Union. “But I had all these fun ideas for wearable art.” Steiner designed such apparel as a boat-shaped hat and a toaster-shaped hand muff, but, she admitted to Frederick, “they were so laborintensive that even though the line was successful, I was broke!” She then turned to freelance illustration.
Publishers were interested in promoting Steiner’s book Look-Alikes to an adult market, but Steiner saw it as a book for children. She spent over three years creating the book about a land where “everything looks like something else,” scouring all types of stores looking for objects for her scenes. Steiner bought several trench coats at thrift shops before finding the right one to use as a tent for the circus scene. Each visual puzzle took months to complete. Since she often uses edible materials, Steiner moved her project to a studio where her cats could not eat her work. Her “images are elaborately crafted landscapes . . . which she creates piece by piece using construction materials of her own devising,” D. Wood noted in Gastronomica. “The resulting photographs are intricate, whimsical scenes, reminiscent of the real world but viewed through the colorful lens of Joan Steiner’s imagination.”
An early commission from Games magazine included the suggestion that Steiner add a puzzle element to her
A Publishers Weekly reviewer called Look-Alikes a “dazzling debut,” maintaining: “The amount of work
Something about the Author, Volume 199
that went into each tableau is staggering; the end result sheer delight.” Over one hundred hidden objects can be found in each of Steiner’s eleven photographed collages, puzzles that include a hotel lobby, general store, amusement park, and a circus. A list in the back of the book records the hidden items, and asterisks denote items that are particularly difficult to find. Steiner fashioned the people in these scenes from modeling clay. Pamela K. Bomboy praised Look-Alikes in School Library Journal as a book that “is sure to please” and is “guaranteed fun.” Booklist commentator Stephanie Zvirin noted that the work is “great fun and terrific for inspiring children” to create their own puzzles. While Horn Book contributor Peter D. Sieruta delighted in the book’s “amazing scenery” and deemed Look-Alikes a “strikingly original puzzle book.” In a Salon online review, Polly Shulman wrote that although Look-Alikes can be considered a children’s puzzle book, “it’s really something more profound: a meditation on nostalgia and utopia, or a series of visual lyrics, or maybe a vivid dream.” Frederick reported that the book is also popular with retailers. According to Frederick, bookstore owner Anne Ginkel said that Look-Alikes uses “an amazing art form,” and that the “fantastic” book “hits many different age levels.” In Look-Alikes, Jr., a companion volume aimed at a younger audience, Steiner again constructs a series of imaginative dioramas, using such familiar scenes as a kitchen, a classroom, and a barnyard. “But in Steiner’s hands, the ordinary becomes extraordinary,” observed a Publishers Weekly contributor. As in her earlier work, Steiner incorporates ordinary, identifiable objects in surprising ways, substituting lasagna noodles for draperies and a tape dispenser and hair clip for a tractor. “Steiner does inventive unimaginable things with makeup containers and tea bags,” noted GraceAnne A. DeCandido in Booklist, and a Horn Book reviewer described the book as “both witty and cunning, offering lots of justhard-enough opportunities for looking and finding.”

tried to pick places that are really famous and easily recognized by most people,” Steiner remarked to Furfaro. “The idea was that the scenes would resonate with the images already in people’s minds.” Steiner spent months researching the work, studying photographs of each destination, and it took another three years to complete the book. The work was a departure of sorts for Steiner, who had never constructed landscapes before. According to Furfaro, the artist “built the leaning Tower of Pisa out of cookies, the prehistoric temple at Easter Island out of a sock and doorstop and the hills of Machu Picchu out of sliced bread and peanut butter.” Like Steiner’s other titles, Look-Alikes around the World proved popular with critics; according to a Kirkus Reviews contributor, Steiner “offers up another creative, riveting outing.” Steiner once commented: “I had a very ordinary and fairly uneventful childhood. I was the ‘brain’ in school and not particularly popular. I always loved art, but as a young person I never dreamed of having a career in art. I thought the only art career was to be a brilliant painter whose work would be shown in museums. I was completely unaware of the other possibilities. Finally, after I had been out of college for several years knocking around from one job to another that I didn’t find at all satisfying, it occurred to me that I should try to make a
Steiner adopts a holiday theme in her next work, LookAlikes Christmas, described as “clever, ingenious, and fun both for readers and nonreaders” by School Library Journal contributor Maureen Wade. The nine doublepage photographs, which depict Santa’s elves making toys in their North Pole workshop, a performance of the Nutcracker ballet, and a raucous New Year’s Eve celebration, feature a variety of unusual replacements; Steiner creates fir trees from asparagus spears, a cathedral arch from deer vertebrae and dog biscuits, and a party dress from a badminton shuttlecock. A Publishers Weekly reviewer complimented the “collection of astounding 3-D assemblages,” and Sieruta wrote that “each full-to-bursting tableau is composed of over one hundred small everyday articles intricately crafted to represent life-sized objects.” In Look-Alikes around the World, Steiner shares her take on thirty-nine exotic locales, including Machu Picchu, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Taj Mahal. “I

career out of the thing I loved best (duh!), even if I had to do something fairly lowly in that field. That’s how I began, and I turned out to be a little more talented than I expected. I discovered that the thing one loves best is likely to be the thing one does best.”

Sidelights Paul Stewart is a British author of fantasy, time-travel and palpably realistic novels, all with a speculative edge that is targeted at an audience of middle-grade readers. Though they find their main audience in Great Britain, many of Stewart’s books, such as Bubble and Shriek, The Birthday Presents, and his “Edge Chronicles,” have found favor with readers in North America as well. “Most of my books for children originate from a ‘what if’ question,” Stewart once explained to SATA. “‘What if there was a machine that could record our night-
Something about the Author, Volume 199
mares?’ ‘What if there was a snowman that couldn’t melt?’ ‘What if someone didn’t know what winter felt like?’ Then I play with the idea—researching the background and working on the plot—and decide the genre with which best to explore the story. Only when I am completely certain where the story is heading do I start writing.” Stewart, who was born in 1955 and grew up in southwest London, earned a master’s degree in creative writing at the University of East Anglia. After graduation, he produced short stories for adults, as well as several unpublished novels, while also working as an English teacher in Germany and then Sri Lanka. Returning to England in 1983, Stewart began reconsidering an early idea he had regarding writing a sister book to Norton Juster’s classic middle-grade novel The Phantom Tollbooth. This led to his first publication, the middle-grade novel The Thought Domain. Stewart’s publishing success continued with The Weather Witch, a time-travel story about a village hidden under a lake for four hundred years. Two modern children, Kerry and Joe, discover the hidden village when they are sent for the summer to stay with their great aunt Eleanor. A dull summer is suddenly filled with danger and excitement when the two are sucked into a time vortex while rowing on the lake. They end up in the ancient village of Cleedale, replete with villagers and resident weather witch Megwyn, an ancestor of Great Aunt Eleanor. Megwyn is also the one who imprisoned the villagers under water in the first place, while trying to save them from an invading Protestant army. Kerry and Joe are soon revealed to be the village’s long-prophesied saviors. “How they return to Great Aunt Eleanor, and bring into the present a girl and a boy from 400 years back, makes exciting reading,” noted a reviewer for Junior Bookshelf. “The whole story is fantastic in more ways than one,” the same reviewer added, “but the author’s skill renders it quite believable.” Another popular novel by Stewart, Adam’s Ark is about an autistic boy named Adam. Adam communicates with animals instead of with people; as Stewart explained in an Achuka online interview, Adam’s cat “teaches him to speak and to act in a way in which he should act, in an appropriate way, so that people don’t think he’s round the bend.” As he grows older, Adam gets a job at the zoo. There he learns that he can communicate with animals of all sorts: in fact, he is a holdover from prehistoric times when mammals of all kinds communicated in a common language called Mammalogue. It is now the young man’s mission to protect animals from human aggression of the sort Adam’s own scientist father carries out in his research laboratory. Jane Inglish, writing in School Librarian, dubbed Adam’s Ark “passionate,” while Books for Keeps critic Linda Newbery commented that Stewart’s “moving story will find an appreciative audience in the growing numbers of young people concerned about animal welfare and environ-

mental issues.” A reviewer for Junior Bookshelf praised the author for his “down to earth, matter of fact style” and concluded that “young readers will enjoy this cleverly constructed story.” An amazing bottle of bubbles that, when blown, carry inside them those things most feared proves the catalyst for Stewart’s Bubble and Shriek, a “readable and clever story for smart readers,” according to David Bennett in Books for Keeps. In the novel, Charlie does not like the continual limelight of being a child star in advertisements, while Vinny despises the pressure his father puts on him to succeed. When these two apparent enemies at school encounter one another at a local fair, the mysterious Madame Tatania uses her magic bubbles to make Charlie able to neutralize Vinny’s animosity and also regain his childhood. “Stewart has some wise things to say about the inner fears of childhood and the consequences of obsessive parenting,” commented a reviewer for Junior Bookshelf. “He presents a fable in a style which will capture the interest of the primary school reader and may stimulate healthy discussion as a class experience.” Stewart’s long-running “Edge Chronicles” fantasy series is one of many projects that has paired him with friend and author/artist Chris Riddell. Interestingly, the two men lived in the same town, and their sons were the same age when their friendship began. It was Riddell’s hand-drawn map of The Edge that became Stewart’s inspiration for the fantasy saga. As Stewart noted in an Achuka online interview, Riddell provides line drawings for the series, but also has editorial input on the story as well, so the two men share authorial credit. While the “Edge Chronicles” series was originally planned as a trilogy, by 2009 it had expanded into ten volumes. Beyond the Deepwoods starts things off, however, and in this book twelve-year-old Twig is told that the Woodtrolls who raised him are not his real parents. Forced to venture into the Deepwoods to discover the truth about his forbears, Twig stumbles into a frightening alternate world full of magic, adventure, danger, and hordes of slimy, vicious, strange monsters. An Interzone reviewer praised Beyond the Deepwoods for “combin[ing] . . . the horrific and the absurd to produce an atmosphere of sustained nightmare.” A Kirkus Reviews critic maintained that “readers fond of nonstop adventures thickly stocked with . . . plug-uglies will be in hog heaven,” and Booklist reviewer Carolyn Phelan predicted that “those with hearty appetites for adventure . . . will find this a tremendously exciting fantasy.” The “Edge Chronicles” continues with the novels Stormchaser, Midnight over Sanctaphrax, The Curse of the Gloamglozer, Clash of the Sky Galleons, and others. Stormchaser finds Twig reunited with his sky-pirate father Quint aboard a flying sailship as it undertakes a dangerous mission: sailing into the heart of a great storm to save the city of Sanctaphrax. Calling the novel “a rousing adventure,” Phelan also found it to be “more complex and satisfying than its predecessor,” although

Jenna Miller noted in School Library Journal that “the primary charm of the series remains the imaginative settings and creatures.” The Last of the Sky Pirates finds an apprentice librarian named Rook exiled from Sanctaphrax to a community of earth-scholars that has sprung up in the sewers beneath Undertown. Rook dreams of journeying to the Deepwoods and continuing his training for Librarian Knight, but when he gets his wish he finds the Deepwoods terrifying. Winter Knights refocuses the story on Quint, who is now a young man embarking upon his own training as a knight. A series of severe storms threatens both his training and the safety of all those on Sanctaphrax as Quint’s story plays out. Quint rejoins his father, Linux, and sails to continuing adventures in Clash of the Sky Galleons, their journey haunted by Linux’s thirst for revenge. Rook’s “adventures pull readers along,” Walter Minkel wrote in his School Library Journal review of The Last of the Sky Pirates, and “and the pages flip by in no time.” Phelan viewed Winter Knights in much the same fashion, writing that the author and illustrator bring to life a “distinctive world” and a story that “stands alone better than some of its series mates.”
Stewart’s popular “Edge Chronicles” continues with Stormchaser, a novel brought to life in Riddell’s detailed pen-and-ink drawings. (Cover illustration copyright © 2004 by Chris Riddell.

the bloodthirstiness of its villain means that Stormchaser is “not for the fainthearted.” Reviewers Bookwatch critic Molly Martin similarly praised the novel as “a thrilling yarn of conspiracy, conniving and complicity” in which “often eerie and extraordinary characters” seek their destiny in an “elaborate]and] marvelously detailed” world. The quest of father and son to save their world continues in Midnight over Sanctaphrax, while The Curse of the Gloamglozer provides readers with an extended flashback to the childhood of Twig’s parents, Quint and Maris. Maris’s father, Linux Pallitax, is a respected scholar in Sanctaphrax, a city of scholars that is built on a large, floating rock. Linux’s apprentice, Quint is a student during the day but at night he undertakes mysterious missions for his master. The more Quint learns about what Linux is doing, the more he comes to believe that the man’s studies are imperiling Sanctaphrax. Although The Curse of the Gloamglozer differs from the first three books in the “Edge Chronicles” in its shift in focus from swashbuckling adventure to intrigue,
Other fantasy series by Stewart and Riddell include their “Far-Flung Adventures” books, which a Publishers Weekly critic characterized as “part Dickensian comedy, part pirate adventure,” and part folk story. In series opener Fergus Crane, for example, readers meet the ten-year old titular hero, who lives with his mother, a village baker, and attends school on a ship at anchor where the crew of teachers look suspiciously piratical. Soon Fergus is drawn into an adventure that involves his missing father, a talking penguin, and a mysterious letter from a long-lost uncle. Other young heroes and their off-kilter adventures play out in the novels Corby Flood and Hugo Pepper, the latter in which a ten-year old foundling who has been raised by two reindeer herders hopes to learn about his true parents (who were eaten by polar bears) while undertaking a quirky quest that involves numerous nonsensical characters. Writing in Horn Book, Christine M. Heppermann cited the illustrator’s “playful, old-fashioned” ink drawings as well as Stewart’s “amiable all-but-the-kitchen-sink” storyline. Featuring “tongue-in-cheek humor,” according to School Library Journal critic Quinby Frank, Hugo Pepper “is sure to delight readers of Stewart and Riddell’s earlier books.” In the “Barnaby Grimes” books, which include Curse of the Night Wolf and Return of the Emerald Skull, Stewart and Riddell turn from fantasy to horror, setting their collaboration in Dickensian England. Barnaby works as a street messenger in a fictional latenineteenth-century London, and his agility allows him to bypass city streets and leap from rooftop to landing while making his rounds. On a nighttime ramble, Barnaby discovers a doctor who is transforming street people into wild, lupine creatures. “Nimble as the wind,
Something about the Author, Volume 199
Barnaby is an appealing character,” asserted Booklist critic Ian Chipman in reviewing series opener Curse of the Night Wolf, while London Daily Telegraph critic Lucy Davies praised Riddell’s “beautiful and disturbing” art as well as Stewart’s “spooky, inventive pageturner,” in which the plot “moves with gusto.” “Barnaby’s zest, verve and just the right amount of cynical humour, accompanied by Riddell’s exquisitely elegant illustrations . . . , makes for splendidly spooky, sophisticated tales,” concluded a London Times critic in reviewing the second “Barnaby Grimes” novel, Return of the Emerald Skull. In addition to his books for older readers, Stewart addresses younger audiences in his “Football Mad” series, in which the adventures of young soccer players Gary, Danny, and Craig on and off the field attract boys aged seven to nine. Other books, such as Dogbird and Other Mixed-up Tales and Millie’s Party, entertain budding readers with their humorous stories about everyday events. Featuring three previously published fantasy tales brought to life in art by Tony Ross, Dogbird and Other Mixed-up Tales was praised by a Publishers Weekly critic as combining “a light moral with a large dose of humor.”
STEWART • 167
Joining frequent collaborator Riddell, Stewart has also created the “Muddle Earth” fantasy series for elementary-grade readers, as well as picture books such as A Little Bit of Winter and Rabbit’s Wish. When spring reunites friends Rabbit and Hedgehog in A Little Bit of Winter, they share a little bit of the season they just missed together, resulting in a story that a Publishers Weekly praised for creating an “emotional connection between the two [animals that] emits warmth and wit.” In Rabbit’s Wish Rabbit wants the nocturnal Hedgehog to stay awake and play with him during the day. He gets his wish when a rainstorm floods the animals’ burrows, forcing them to spend a day cavorting in the rain until their homes dry out. “Some children want to grow up to be a brain surgeon or an astronaut,” Stewart once commented to SATA. “I always wanted to be an author. It took a long time but, in 1988—and after a lot of other jobs—my first novel for children was published. I am now a full-time author, writing books and short stories for children of all ages, as well as a novel for adults and several readers for foreign learners of English. . . . Writing has always been a compulsion for me, and I count myself so very lucky that I can earn a living from what I enjoy doing best in the world.”
Stewart and Riddell turn their attention to younger children in picture books such as A Little Bit of Winter. (Andersen Press, 1998. Copyright © 1998 by Chris Riddell. Reproduced by permission.)

Sidelights Patricia Thomas discovered the magic of rhyming words about as soon as she could talk, had her first poem published in Jack and Jill magazine when she was eight years old, and she alwasy knew that she would be a writer. She graduated from Pennsylvania State University and worked as a writer/editor in practically every area of the advertising business, from department stores to catalogs to direct mail, before she discovered her true love: writing for children.

Thomas’s books, stories, and articles cover a spectrum of styles, from the lyrical Firefly Mountain to Nature’s Paintbox: A Seasonal Gallery of Art and Verse, the latter an original poetic approach to nonfiction. Her nonsense verse titles, such as “Stand Back,” Said the Elephant, “I’m Going to Sneeze!”, have been featured on the PBS Storytime television series, while her articles and stories have appeared in magazines and range in subject from Arthurian legends to the Loch Ness monster to Benjamin Franklin.

his last sneeze was so powerful that it blew the stripes off a zebra, the spots off a leopard, and the monkeys out of a tree. In Firefly Mountain, a young girl awaits the end of a long, hot summer day. When darkness falls, her parents join her to watch the stars and fireflies light up the night. “Thomas’s prose is lyrical and engaging as she describes the sights, smells, and sounds” of the summer, wrote Grace Oliff in a School Library Journal review of Firefly Mountain. Thomas collaborated with illustrator Craig Orback on Nature’s Paintbox, which offers readers a poem about the four seasons, connecting each with an artistic medium. Orback uses pen and ink to depict winter, pastel chalk for spring, vibrant watercolors for summer, and oil paints for fall. “There is a strikingly rare synergy between the poetry and the illustrations,” noted a contributor in Kirkus Reviews. “Through internal rhymes and precise imagery, the poem sensitively articulates the look of each season,” observed Booklist critic Carolyn Phelan. Thomas once told SATA: “We who write for children have surely been given the most wonderful gift on earth. We are permitted, for the entire course of our lives, to look at the world through a child’s eyes . . . to discover beauty in the most unlikely places . . . to find adventure in the simplest activities . . . to see wonder in the smallest things. Who could ask for a finer destiny than this!”

Sidelights In elementary school, Linda Urban won a prize for a story and read it aloud to her classmates, who laughed in all the right places. As an adult, she focused on writing nonfiction and pursued a career in marketing and advertising. For ten years, Urban worked at Vroman’s Bookstore in southern California, where she managed author events and took notes for what would become her future career. After her daughter turned two, she began writing fiction again, and soon had both a novel and a picture book accepted by a New York City publisher. A Crooked Kind of Perfect stars ten-year-old Zoe, who wants to be a pianist. Her father, who fears leaving the house to take his daughter to piano lessons, buys Zoe an electric organ instead. Discouraged, the girl struggles with the instrument, but finds a teacher in Mabelline Person, who enters her into a contest. Meanwhile, Zoe must cope with being dropped by her best friend, befriending a weird boy from her school, and feeling to172

a Horn Book review of A Crooked Kind of Perfect. “Sometimes funny, sometimes tender, this is a promising debut for the author,” wrote Carolyn Phelan in Booklist, and School Library Journal contributor Jennifer Cogan noted that Urban’s “refreshing writing is full of pearls of wisdom, and readers will relate to this fully developed character.” A Kirkus Reviews contributor noted the humor used in telling the story, predicting that “readers should enjoy the fast-paced, brief chapters, silliness and tongue-in-cheek first-person narration.” Jenny Sawyer, in the Christian Science Monitor, maintained that the elements of Urban’s story—the oddball choice of an electronic organ, the mother who is never home, the father who is home all the time, and even the strange new friend—“become a metaphor for working with what you have, and loving yourself for who you are—flaws, eccentricities, and all.” In the picture book Mouse Was Mad Urban tells the story of a mouse who cannot quite figure out how to be angry. After watching the larger animals screaming or stomping, the small creature must figure out how to express his own anger in a way that is natural to him.

Sidelights John van de Ruit, a South African actor, playwright, and novelist, is the author of Spud, one of the most popular titles in his nation’s history, as well as of the sequel, Spud: The Madness Continues. “Nobody saw Spud coming; it has never happened before in literature in this country . . . ,” van de Ruit remarked to Angelique Serrao in South Africa’s Saturday Star. “I’ve created this character that’s so much bigger than I am.” Born in Durban, South Africa, where he still resides, van de Ruit attended Michaelhouse, an elite boarding school, and later earned a master’s degree in drama and performance studies at the University of Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal).

Spud garnered strong reviews for its humor and honesty. As a contributor in South Africa’s Sunday Independent observed, “Much of the book’s best humour involves blithe transgressions of standards of decorum and piety. When it comes it is all the more surprising, because the book’s style is a careful, adept, seamless stream of unselfconsciousness—that of an adolescent. The chatty, episodic narrative flows breezily, giving equal weight to the important and the trivial, the routine and the extraordinary. Much artfulness has gone into evoking the banal.” Keith Gray, writing in the London Guardian, similarly noted that the work is “unflinching in portraying the uproarious and puerile wit of teenage boys, therefore realistic about the way adolescent males interact with each other—so much so that the author can appear more interested in chasing the joke than digging a little deeper into the issues he raises. But the overall feeling is one of warmth and affirmation.” A follow-up to Spud, the successful Spud: The Madness Continues comprises “another delightful look at the world according to young Spud Milton,” as a Cape Argus reviewer stated. Now in his second year at school, the still-diminutive fourteen-year-old protagonist again relays his thoughts about his madcap family, recounts his misadventures with his eccentric dorm mates and instructors, and describes the triumphs and tragedies of adolescent romance. “Hilarious, bitter-sweet, tragic and real,” judged a contributor in the Pretoria News, reviewing van de Ruit’s work.

laborated with Ben Voss on the critically acclaimed satirical sketch comedy Green Mamba, for which he received the Johannesburg Naledi Award, as well as Black Mamba, which has been performed in South Africa and England. First published in 2005, van de Ruit’s young-adult novel Spud became a runaway bestseller and won the prestigious Booksellers’ Choice Award. Set in 1990, a momentous year in South African history that saw the release of political prisoner Nelson Mandela, the work centers on thirteen-year-old John Milton, a scholarship student at a posh boarding school whose prepubescent body has earned him the nickname “Spud.” In his diary entries, Spud chronicles his often-absurd and chaotic first year of school and dormitory life, where he meets such characters as the rough-and-tumble Rambo, sickly Gecko, and gaseous Fatty. According to a Publishers Weekly contributor, Spud’s character resembles Georgia Nicolson, the loquacious protagonist of Louise Rennison’s popular novels, “whose diaries also detail, in colorful slang, life with whacked-out relatives, obsession with emergent sexuality and school-related capers.”
Discussing the “Spud” novels with Serrao, van de Ruit remarked that their authenticity is a large part of their success. “It’s the characters who drive the books,” he stated. “In [South Africa] . . . we’re not used to characters pushing a story forward. It’s always very clever and literary, or adventure-driven. Everyone wants to know more about these children.”

However, it was not until 1995 that she began writing her stories down on paper. As a child, Vander Zee listened to her father’s tales, and she continued in the family tradition by making up her own stories to entertain her cousins. When she grew up she continued the habit, entertaining her own three children with original tales. At age forty Vander Zee returned to college to earn her degree in education. After

being a middle-school teacher for several years, she finally decided to put her words on paper, first by writing curriculum, then by writing picture books. Vander Zee’s first book, 6,000,000 Stars, has since been republished as Erika’s Story. Based on actual events and featuring artwork by Roberto Innocenti, the book follows a Jewish girl named Erika who survived the Holocaust by sheer luck: Her desperate mother threw the infant Erika from a train on its way to a German concentration camp, realizing that her sacrifice was her daughter’s only chance at a future. Discovered near the train tracks and raised by a village woman, Erika wonders what her parents’ lives were like before the Holocaust. “Did they hold her close and kiss her before
throwing her away to save her life?,” wrote Hazel Rochman in a Booklist review, summing up some of Erika’s questions. Joanna Rudge Long commented in Horn Book that, with its picture-book format, Erika’s Story “would make an effective introduction to the Holocaust” for younger students. Vander Zee returns to the Holocaust in Eli Remembers, a story coauthored by German writer Marian Sneider, whose own experiences inspired the tale. Young Eli does not understand why the candle-lighting that is part of his family’s celebration of Rosh Hashanah always brings Great Grandmother Gussie to tears. However, when he accompanies his family to the village in Lithuania, where Gussie grew up, Eli learns a tragic

part of his family’s history: during the Holocaust Gussie’s father and six brothers and sisters were among the thousands of Jews killed by Nazi troops and buried in the mass grave in a nearby forest. Vander Zee tells the tragic story in prose that a Publishers Weekly contributor characterized as “unsparing and unrushed,” while in Kirkus Reviews a writer noted that the coauthors’ “sad, dark, candid look at a boy’s family history” features a “message [that] is universally significant.” Noting the “glowing oil paintings” created by Bill Farnsworth to accompany the story, Rochman predicted that Eli Remembers is “sure to spark discussion and more research.”
dren and adults can talk about tough moral issues based on my stories, I am happy.” She also offered the following advice to young writers: “Read. Read. Read. And listen to the stories around you. They are everywhere. Then put the pen on the paper and start writing.”
In Mississippi Morning Vander Zee deals with another serious subject. Set in the 1930s during the Great Depression, her story deals with racism and the Ku Klux Klan. The father of twelve-year-old James William runs the general store in their small Mississippi town. Even though James William knows his father does not think it “natural” for whites and blacks to spend time together, the boy sneaks off and goes fishing with his friend LeRoy, the son of a black sharecropper. LeRoy avoids fishing next to a certain tree because, as he tells James William, the Klan has hung black people from its branches. When James William overhears talk of how a black preacher’s house has been burned down, he eventually realizes the truth: his father has joined those men committing these acts of hate. Reviewing Mississippi Morning for School Library Journal, Mary N. Oluonye praise Vander Zee’s “sad, poignant story,” and a Kirkus Reviews contributor noted that the author’s “dialogue crackles with import.” According to Rochman, while its “picture-book format may keep older readers from picking up the book on their own, . . . the subject will spark classroom discussion even among some young teens.”

Featuring watercolor art by Ronald Himler, Always with You is, like Erika’s Story, based on a true story. Here Vander Zee takes readers to Vietnam during wartime, as Kim’s mother is killed during a bombing raid. The fouryear-old girl now finds herself alone, until U.S. soldiers discover her and take her to an orphanage where a caring couple and new friendships help Kim establish a new life. Although Rochman praised the book’s “poignant” story and “beautiful, spacious” illustrations, she added that Always with You would find its most appreciative audience among children who are “slightly older than the traditional picture-book listeners.” A Kirkus Reviews writer agreed, writing that Always with You “documents the hardships of war in a personal way that older children will undoubtedly understand.” Explaining why she chooses serious topics for her picture books, Vander Zee explained in an interview posted on the Eerdmans Books for Young Readers Web site: “I believe that the story-teller has a unique opportunity to tell children the truth. All story-tellers tell the story of life. I believe children want to hear the truths of life told in a way that give them hope and courage. If chil-

Sidelights Erica Verrillo, author of the “Phoenix Rising” trilogy of juvenile fantasy novels, took a roundabout way to becoming a writer. Born in Rochester, New York, Verrillo spent her early years learning about music from her parents, both classical musicians. First she learned piano from her mother and later the flute from a wellknown teacher. As a teenager she moved to England for a year, performing with the Oxford Symphony Orchestra and further studying flute. Returning to the United States, Verrillo attended the New England Conservatory for a time, but she ultimately decided against a career in music, instead studying Latin American history and poetry at Tufts University. “I was a very bad poet,” Verrillo noted on her home page. “But the training I got was invaluable. . . . I had to justify every word, every phrase, every line break. Even punctuation came under fire. To this day, I can’t write a semicolon without a deep sense of futility.” Finishing her college degree at a university in Mexico, Verrillo set off to explore Central and South America by foot and by hitchhiking. It was the beginning of a wanderlust that would take her to many out-of-the-way places around the world. She experienced adventures from the Andes Mountains to the headwaters of the Amazon River. Returning to the United States, Verrillo earned a degree in linguistics in order to teach English as a second language. Teaching by day in New York City, Verrillo joined a Middle Eastern dance troupe at night. In 1981 she was on the road again, this time to Morocco, where she learned about the Tuareg Berbers, an ethnic group that would later inform much of her first novel. Her travels ultimately inspired her to try and earn a doctorate in anthropology. Fieldwork took her to southern Mexico as a linguistic supervisor. During this time, Verrillo was exposed to a variety of illnesses from tainted water. She also became involved with the refugee crisis caused by the violence in Guatemala, ultimately helping to found a crafts project to make the Guatemalan refu-

gees more self-sustaining. Despite becoming the mother of two children, Verrillo continued to work with relief projects through the 1980s and then began another doctorate program until the diseases she had contracted in southern Mexico and Guatemala caught up with her. As Verrillo recalled on her home page, “I had to let everything go—the Ph.D., the refugee project, my husband, my home, everything. It was the end. . . . But it was also the beginning. Being ill for so many years makes you re-evaluate your priorities. It’s amazing how many things just aren’t important.” Verrillo became an author almost by accident. When her eight-year-old daughter, Maya, was ill for over a year, Verrillo kept her entertained by telling her stories inspired by her own adventures around the world. She told her daughter the stories of a young girl named Elissa, a girl who could have the adventures Maya could not have at the time. Together mother and daughter outlined the characters to be involved and agreed on their “golden rule” for the tales: There would be magic and danger, but nobody would get killed. It was only later that Verrillo wrote up the tales as a present for her daughter, then age thirteen. The first novel in a planned trilogy, Elissa’s Quest introduces Elissa, a thirteen year old with the power to speak with animals. She has long hoped to be reunited with her father, but when that happens, she is disappointed; she, as the princess of Castlemar, is being used as a pawn in her father’s diplomatic intrigues. Traded to a desert leader, Elissa must somehow survive in the Citadel of the Khan and reclaim her own lost kingdom. Lynn Rutan, writing in Booklist, commended Elissa’s Quest, noting that “Verillo’s storytelling moves right along” and also praising the novel’s “tense, dramatic conclusion.” A Publishers Weekly critic had further praise, observing that “Elissa emerges as a thoroughly lovable heroine, her toughness growing over the course of the story.” Cheri Dobbs, writing in School Library Journal, noted: “Though the story has some elements of fantasy, it is really more about finding strength within one’s self.” Verillo told SATA: “Whenever I give a presentation, someone will inevitably ask me when I started to write. It’s guaranteed. We live in a competitive world, in which starting young matters. Usually, I look around at the audience, and if it so happens that I am speaking to a group of sixth graders, which I usually am, I say ‘twelve.’ Everyone in the audience beams with selfsatisfaction, so I am led to believe that ‘twelve’ is the right answer. However, if an older person asks me, let’s say someone with gray hair and the telltale lines of experience around the mouth and eye—someone my own age—I tell the truth. “The truth is that, technically speaking, I am not a writer. I am a musician endowed with an overactive imagination, and two children who insisted on bedtime stories—from ‘my head.’ These moments were the high
Something about the Author, Volume 199
point of my day. For, aside from gardening, my chief pleasure in life has been curling up with my children and spinning tales—the wilder, the better. The fact that we spent so much time in bed gave me loads of opportunities to take them on imaginary trips around the world—and even farther. I never anticipated actually doing anything with these stories. They were just there . . . a part of our lives. “And so, when my daughter asked me to write down those bedtime stories, I was somewhat surprised. ‘Write?’ I said. ‘Right!’ she replied. So, I bought a computer and began to write. “I was forty-five years old. “Within three months I had written the adventures of the intrepid Elissa, a young girl who was small but brave, just like my daughter. I also wrote a novella, a series of tales from the land of Sal Si Puedes, which I called, predictably, Tales from the Land of Sal Si Puedes. (I wrote that book just for my own amusement, which means it is still languishing somewhere in cyberspace.) My daughter thought the book I had written for her ‘stank,’ and so, being a dutiful mother, I sat down and wrote it again. It got longer as I wrote, until it morphed into two books. My daughter still thought it wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on, so I re-wrote the whole thing again. By now it had turned into a trilogy. ‘Is it good enough now?’ I panted. ‘Publish it,’ she said. “Publishing is easier said than done, but if you knew my daughter, you would understand that any form of protest would have been useless. The Queen of the Universe does not accept excuses. Five years later, the trilogy I was then simply calling ‘Elissa’ was purchased by Random House. And in 2007, at the tender age of fiftythree, my first fiction was finally published. “It seemed I had unwittingly fulfilled the ambition of Flora Poste, the heroine of Stella Gibbons’ immortal classic, Cold Comfort Farm. Flora, like me at a younger age, had an uncontrollable desire to experience life, as well as the inability to endure a mess. If I may paraphrase: ‘When I am fifty-three, I mean to write a novel as good as Persuasion,’ says Flora.
VERRILLO • 179
‘Well, how will you spend the next thirty years?’ asks her friend, Mary, aghast. ‘Living life. Collecting material. Surely no one could object to that.’ “The only real difference between Gibbons’ tongue-incheek rendition of the novelist’s craft, and my own back-door entry into that profession, is that Flora eventually decided that ‘living life’ was enough. “In all likelihood, I will never be able to say, ‘I am a writer’ with a straight face, but I can certainly say that I’ve been living life. And collecting material. I’ve had several completely unrelated professions; traveled, worked and and/or lived in twenty countries; witnessed two wars, raised a couple of really neat children, and planted a whole lot of peas. “Surely no one could object to that.”

Something about the Author, Volume 199
A former surveyor, Watson decided on a career in art after being severely injured by a falling tree while working in the field. His early paintings were inspired by reggae music and Rastafarian culture, and he further developed his craft by living for a time in Jamaica. When he returned to the United States, Watson concentrated on portraiture, and his more-recent works have earned praise for their expressive quality and their honesty and intimacy. “I think it is all in the eyes,” the artist remarked in a Brimstone Soup online interview with Holly Cupola. “I really like to be drawn into the spirit of the person I am looking at, and the eyes are always the windows in.” Watson’s work as a portraitist also informs his book illustrations. “One of the basic needs of any picture book art is the consistency of likeness,” he told Cupola. “It needs to look like the same person throughout the book. Doing so many portraits where a primary focus is likeness, I feel like I am more capable of achieving that now in books. Also, it is important to express emotion in ways that people connect with. Regardless of what style or art media, the best books have a quality of expression that draws in the reader.” Told in free verse, Chess Rumble concerns Marcus, an angry and confused middle schooler who is still griev-

ing over the recent death of his sister, and his relationship with CM, a chess-club adviser who teaches the fatherless inner-city youngster to battle with his wits instead of his fists. Here Watson’s “acrylic black-andwhite illustrations are particularly effective at capturing natural expressions and the concrete-gray inner-cityscape,” observed a contributor in Kirkus Reviews, while Jill Heritage Maza similarly noted in School Library Journal that “blacks, whites, and grays echo the concrete world of Marcus’s urban home and, even more so, his despairing mood.” Gillian Engberg, reviewing Chess Rumble for Booklist, praised the dramatic aspects of Watson’s illustrations, stating that his “deeply shadowed portrait of Marcus’ absent dad is particularly moving.” Watson, who lives in Port Townsend, Washington, with his wife and children, teaches art to area children and exhibits his paintings at galleries and cafés around the Pacific Northwest. His travels have taken him to such far-flung locales as Hong Kong, Russia, and Brazil. “For the majority of my fine art,” he remarked in his interview with Cupola, “I have used memories of travel as inspiration and subject matter.”

Sidelights Jacqueline Wilson is considered one of England’s bestknown writers for young readers. Her works, which have sold more than twenty million copies in the United Kingdom, have been translated into thirty languages and adapted for television and the stage. Wilson has received honors such as the Smarties Prize and the British Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year, and in 2005 she was named Britain’s fourth Children’s Laureate. According to School Library Journal contributor Angelica Shirley Carpenter, “Wilson enjoys rock-star status in England, where her signings can last up to eight hours, and her pixieish face, gothic-inspired black dresses, and huge silver rings . . . are instantly recognizable.”

mer holiday. . . . When I was ten, Mum asked if I could join the adult library because I’d run out of books to read.” Wilson not only read voraciously, but she also began writing at a young age. “I wrote throughout my childhood,” she remarked to Carpenter, “with no thought of getting published—family stories, ongoing sagas, all sorts of different things—especially fictional diaries.” At the age of seventeen, Wilson enjoyed her first big break. Responding to an advertisement looking for teenage writers, she landed a publishing job in Scotland, where she worked for a few years. Married at the age of nineteen to a police superintendent, Wilson penned magazine stories and crime novels before trying her hand at children’s literature. Nobody’s Perfect, her debut novel for juveniles, was inspired by a newspaper account about adopted children looking for their biological parents. Nobody’s Perfect focuses on a young girl, Sandra, who is trying to track down her birth father. Sandra’s home life is a mess, and her stepfather is no substitute for the real thing, so one day Sandra sets out to find her biological dad who, she knows, once
Known for her “simplicity with language and her effortless embrace of the child’s point of view,” according to London Daily Telegraph writer Cassandra Jardine, Wilson often writes about ordinary girls from dysfunctional backgrounds, struggling with the reality of their world, trying to make the best of what they are given. Her protagonists “have unkind stepfathers or drunken mothers, bitchy friends and broken hearts, they experience death and divorce, but they come through— and never lose their sense of humour,” Jardine noted. “I want to create a story that kids are interested in, with storylines that affect them, but at the same time I want there to be a positive message,” the author remarked in a London Sun interview with Samantha Wostear. Among Wilson’s critically acclaimed titles are The Story of Tracy Beaker, The Illustrated Mum, and Candyfloss. An only child, Wilson had a richly imaginative childhood with fantasy friends, beasts lurking under the stairs, and a love of magic. Unfortunately, there also many unpleasant moments, as the author admitted to Jardine. “It’s not elegant at my age to whimper about my parents,” she stated, “but it wasn’t a tranquil home. My father had an explosive temper and my mother was very particular. I was famous in our family for saying, often with tears in my eyes, ‘I’m not going to take sides,’ but I felt much safer with my mum.” Though she loved to read, Wilson told London Sunday Times reporter Louise Johncox that her family “didn’t have loads of books. Money was tight, but Mum always made sure I had a new book every birthday, Christmas, and sum-

wanted to be a writer just as she does now. Zena Sutherland noted in the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books that, in this sensitively written story, “the characterization, plot, and pace all have impact,” while Wilson’s “treatment of relationships” is both “realistic and perceptive.” Wilson’s next work, The Other Side, tells the story of young Alison who thinks—as Wilson herself did as a girl—that if she stares at the ceiling hard enough, she will be able to levitate. In fact, Alison learns to fly around her bedroom and out of the window to navigate her neighborhood. Or is it all a dream induced by the difficulties Alison is having in her waking life with her parents’ divorce and her mother’s breakdown? David Bennett, writing in Books for Keeps, noted that Wilson shows “convincingly” how the collapse of family relationships “leaves only victims in its wake, no winners,” and concluded that The Other Side is a “moving novel.” Another broken family is featured in How to Survive Summer Camp, as Stella is sent off to summer camp during her mother’s honeymoon with her second husband. Stella is afraid of water, the food at camp is terrible, and her favorite book is ruined—perhaps by jealous girls in her cabin. A kindly camp counselor manages to save the day when he discovers Stella’s love for storytelling by suggesting she start a camp magazine. Margery Fisher, writing in Growing Point, called How to Survive Summer Camp a “pleasing and pointed look at a girl of ten or so in difficulties with her peers,” while a Junior Bookshelf reviewer dubbed it a “shrewd and well observed story.”

Other problem novels from Wilson include This Girl and The Dream Palace. The former story is, according to Books for Keeps reviewer Adrian Jackson, a “brave exploration” of how a young girl copes with “opportunity and relationships.” Coral is caught between her father’s unemployment malaise and her mother’s coquetry, and opts out of her home when she takes a position as a nanny. Her employers have created a Victorian fantasy in their home, yet the same old problems abide under the surface, and Coral turns to a young single mother, Deb, to help her make sense of the world. Dorothy Atkinson, writing in School Librarian, considered This Girl a “fine novel for teenagers” and “also an unusual one.” In The Dream Palace, insecure Lolly thinks she does not measure up to her prettier friend, Lynn, and when Lynn goes on a fine vacation, Lolly is stuck taking a summer job at a nursing home. At her own home, things are not much better with her mother and stepfather, but when Lolly meets Greg, who is a member of a group of squatters, things start to change in her life. When she finally leaves her home with Greg, she learns new truths about the world, as well. Linda Newbery noted in School Librarian that “teenage readers will be engrossed and challenged by this unputdownable, skillfully crafted book,” a sentiment that was echoed by Stephanie Nettell in Books for Keeps, who
wrote that Wilson’s story “shocks, entertains, moves, and instructs,” calling the book “teenage reading at its most skillful.” With the publication of The Story of Tracy Beaker Wilson catapulted to literary stardom. Wilson’s first novel to be told in first person from a child’s standpoint, The Story of Tracy Beaker was also the first of Wilson’s books to be accompanied by the illustrations of Nick Sharratt. Tracy Beaker—“gutsy, stroppy and spirited,” as Wilson once described her—is an aspiring ten-yearold writer who tells the story of the children’s home where she resides. “Here is the ultimate in first-person journal writing . . . flip and funny,” noted Maurice Saxby in a review for Magpies. Tracy’s dream is to be taken in by a family that measures up to her demanding standards, though as Saxby observed, “underneath the brashness and bravado is a desperately unhappy, selfdeluding, insecure personality.” Angela Redfern, writing in School Librarian, concluded that a “real bonus is that the book genuinely celebrates the act of writing— and not by preaching.” In Horn Book, a critic wrote that the author “does a commendable job of providing . . . a surprisingly well rounded picture of the seemingly callous but lonely young girl,” while a critic for

Publishers Weekly thought Tracy’s “indomitable spirit and grit leaves little doubt that she will end up on top.” Humor is at the heart of some of Wilson’s prize-winning novels, including The Suitcase Kid and Double Act, and it is comedy also that in part informs such popular works as Elsa, Star of the Shelter! and Girls in Love. Yet Wilson’s humorous books are not frivolous—they deal with topics ranging from divorce and homelessness to bullying and developing a positive self-image. Wilson took on the difficult subject of divorce in The Suitcase Kid, another story told in diary form by a ten-yearold protagonist, detailing the tug-of-war Andrea is going through as she shuttles back and forth between mom and dad. Added to the brew are step-siblings and a new half-sister to make Andrea’s life totally confusing. Deborah Stevenson, writing in Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, maintained that The Suitcase Kid “taps into the righteous indignation of a child torn between two households, and it does so deftly,” while Valerie Bierman in Books for Your Children observed that to “portray divorce with humour and sympathy takes great skill.”
Something about the Author, Volume 199
In Double Act, Wilson explores the trials and tribulations of being a twin by narrating the story of ten-yearold siblings Ruby and Garnet. Identical physically, Garnet is shy and somewhat wimpy while Ruby is brash and rude, and the duo take turns narrating this story in which they reluctantly move from the city to the country with their father and his new girlfriend—their mother being long dead. Ann Sohn-Rethel declared the book “another winner” in a review for School Librarian, while Stevenson felt the book would “intrigue youngsters who wonder what twinship would be like, and there are enough down and dirty double details here to satisfy them.” Elsa, Star of the Shelter! deals with life in a children’s shelter in a novel that is both “funny and brave,” according to Roger Sutton in Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books. Humorously narrated by precocious, ten-year-old Elsa, the book “is a far cry from traditional middle-grade fiction,” according to a Publishers Weekly reviewer who also called the book “eye-opening.” In Booklist Lauren Peterson described the work as a “bittersweet account of life in [a] . . . shelter,” and concluded that although long, Wilson’s “story is nicely paced and tender, and it provides loads of avenues to explore through discussion.” Taking up the situation of another young girl in Bad Girls, Wilson spins the tale of ten-year-old Mandy, the victim of incessant teasing by three girls at school, through her first-person narrative. She is hit by a bus, leaving her with a sprained arm, while fleeing from the girls, but they still refuse to stop the bullying. Mandy must also deal with her over-protective mother. Her situation improves when Tanya, a foster child four years her senior, moves into the neighborhood. Through their relationship—despite getting into a bit of trouble with Tanya—“Mandy develops a strength and maturity that enables her to relate better to her mother and to brush off the barbs of the bullies,” explained a Publishers Weekly reviewer. “Shaping convincing characters, dialogue and plot, Wilson proves [in Bad Girls] that bad girls can make for a good story,” the critic concluded.

The Lottie Project features Charlie, or Charlotte as her strict new teacher insists on calling her, and her changing life circumstances. Though eleven-year-old Charlie is content with her life, she is not able to prevent major changes: her single mother loses her steady job, must find multiple part-time work, and starts dating a man with a five-year-old son. In the midst of these events, Charlie develops a fictional journal of a girl living in Victorian times as part of a school project, and those entries intermix with Charlie’s life to add another dimension to the story. As a critic for Kirkus Reviews noted: “Funny, incisive, and true to life, this book introduces a heroine who is easy to root for—she’s a terrific combination of feisty and fragile.” Kitty Flynn, writing for Horn Book, concluded that “readers will empathize with many of the situations Charlie copes with and appreciate the message that, as in life, all loose ends may not be tied up at the end, but we can take what we’ve learned and carry on from there.”

Wilson’s “Girls” series is aimed at a slightly older audience and features three protagonists—Ellie, Magda, and Nadine—who struggle with body image and self-esteem issues. Narrated by Ellie, who is insecure about her weight when compared to her two willowy friends, Girls in Love tells of Ellie’s attempt to use a male friend to play the part of her gorgeous boyfriend—and because he lives far away, she can describe him however she likes. When he comes to visit her, however, she begins to realize that judging him by his appearance may have made her miss out on a great friendship. In Girls under Pressure, Ellie struggles with her weight, opting to stop eating and flirting with bulimia. But when she meets a girl who actually suffers from an eating disorder, she realizes that the path she is treading is a dangerous one. Ellie gets into trouble by staying out with her friends and her artistic boyfriend in Girls out Late; Girls in Tears follows Ellie as she learns that the relationships she had assumed would be there forever might not be as sturdy as she had thought. “The way these best friends deal with these issues creates an amusing, entertaining tale with which teenagers will identify,” wrote Ginny Harrell in School Library Journal. School Librarian critic Pat Williams noted that Wilson “finds the right mix of humour and hard-hitting content to deliver a message without lecturing or patronising” in Girls under Pressure. In a review of Girls in Love, a contributor to Publishers Weekly noted that “Ellie’s first-person narration possesses a Bridget Jones-like energy and compulsiveness.” In a review of the first three books in the series, Kliatt contributor Paula Rohrlick wrote that “Wilson deals with the road bumps of adolescence with insight and humor.”
In her award-winning novel The Illustrated Mum, Wilson explores mental illness through the first-person account of Dolphin, the eleven-year-old daughter of unstable mother Marigold. It is eventually revealed that Marigold suffers from manic depression, but Dolphin and her older sister Star have developed numerous coping strategies. Inevitably, Marigold is hospitalized for treatment of her condition. Though the novel tells a serious story, Valerie Coghlan wrote in Books for Keeps that “Wilson’s style keeps a degree of the grimness at a distance, and the love which Marigold has for her daughters and they for her is evident throughout.” Writing in School Library Journal, B. Allison Gray also praised the work, stating that “Dolphin is a sympathetic character and the relationship between the sisters is realistically portrayed, as is Marigold’s mental illness.” Citing The Illustrated Mum as the favorite of her works, Wilson remarked to Carpenter: “I knew I was doing something quite difficult, writing about a much-loved mother who lets her children down and suffers from mental illness and behaves very irresponsibly. I knew it was going to be a book without many laughs because there’s just no way you could have a sense of humor about such a searing and worrying subject. But I wanted to write it, and I wanted to write it truthfully.”
Vicky Angel, the story of best friends Jude and Vicky, takes a tragic twist when Vicky is hit by a car and killed. In the midst of her grief, Jude revisits the site of the accident and finds, to her great surprise, Vicky’s ghost. Vicky’s continued presence is a comfort to her but at times interferes with the efforts of other people in Jude’s life. Eventually, the friends must let go. “Wilson . . . poignantly addresses a tragic and traumatic experience,” commented a Publishers Weekly reviewer. As Ilene Cooper noted in Booklist, “Wilson’s wonderful way with dialogue . . . makes this more incisive than depressing,” and a critic for Kirkus Reviews claimed the book worked well due to “its honest characters and dialogue, its unique coverage of grief, and its ability to unite readers with Jude’s healing process.” It is not a traumatic death but a traumatic birth that plagues April, the heroine of Wilson’s Dustbin Baby. Born on April 1st, April was discarded in an alley behind a restaurant, only to be found later and raised by a caring, if not entirely understanding, foster mother. After an argument with her foster mother about April’s inherent right to own a cell phone, April wanders off to learn more about her past, trying to come to terms with the mother who rejected her the moment she was born. “This is a book that will resonate with many teenage

girls and encourage them to give their mums, or caring guardians, a hug this Christmas,” wrote Helen Brown in London’s Daily Telegraph. Secrets is one of Wilson’s few books to feature a girl from an economically well-off family. India, an only child whose parents do not pay her much attention (except to help her mind her weight), deals with her frustrations about life by keeping a diary, just like her hero, Anne Frank. India becomes friends with Treasure, a girl from the poor side of town who also keeps a diary; when Treasure’s life begins to fall apart, India hides her friend in her attic to protect her. Although Treasure’s family has its issues, its members truly love her—a feeling India misses from her own parents. “Wilson’s chatty style is effortless to read,” praised Julia Eccleshare in the London Guardian and Lisa Allardice wrote in the London Daily Telegraph that the author “is not just an astute chronicler of contemporary childhood, but [also] an imaginative storyteller.” Six short stories by Wilson and one short story by one of her fans, the winner of an online contest sponsored by Wilson, make up the content of The Worry Web Site. Each story features a narrator who posts his or her troubles on a Web site, and each of the stories are linked together by shared characters. In sponsoring the contest, Wilson received more than 15,000 entries, which led a Kirkus Reviews critic to comment that The Worry Web Site “shows plenty of potential for turning young readers into young writers.” Candyfloss, a tale for middle-grade readers, centers on Flora “Floss” Barnes, a youngster who must deal with a series of life-changing events. When her mom, stepdad, and infant brother move to Australia for six months, Floss chooses to stay in London with her well-meaning but clueless father, the owner of a failing café, whose financial decisions leave them perilously close to being homeless. Things are no better at school, where Floss’s best friend, Rhiannon, has become a cruel bully, tormenting a new student and criticizing Floss’s living circumstances. Reviewers praised Wilson for her honest and accurate portrayal of the protagonist’s relationship with her father, “fully dimensional in all his flaws, a man whose love for his daughter often clouds his judgment,” noted a Publishers Weekly contributor. “While she’s always kind enough to give her stories a hopeful ending, Wilson’s particular gift is her loyalty to her protagonists and readers: she never betrays either by pretending that grown-ups can sort it all out,” Roger Sutton commented in the New York Times Book Review. Wilson offers a glimpse into her childhood in Jacky Daydream, a memoir for young readers. Discussing the work with London Guardian interviewer Hannah Pool, the author stated: “For years children have been asking me about myself: what I was like as a child, if I had brothers and sisters, if my mum and dad split up, did I have any pets. Then when I became the children’s lau-

reate, there was talk of somebody else doing a biography of me and—call me a control freak—I wanted to do it my way, and very much aimed at children, because they are the ones who read my books.” Reviewing Jacky Daydream, in the Spectator, Juliet Townsend remarked that “children relate instantly to Jacqueline Wilson’s characters and recognise in them aspects of themselves. Although she claims not to put herself into her books, it is obvious from this account that she has found her own experience a rich source of material, transformed and ornamented by her imagination.” With numerous books to her credit, the prolific Wilson shows no signs of slowing down. “I worry I will run out of ideas,” she admitted to Woster. “But there is nothing I can do about that except keep my fingers crossed.” According to statistics, she is the mostborrowed author in United Kingdom libraries, which is a source of great pride. As Wilson stated, “I know that I have a special connection with all of my readers.”

Sidelights Canadian writer Sarah Withrow struck a cord with reviewers with Bat Summer, her debut young-adult novel which Quill & Quire contributor Patty Lawlor described as “an imaginatively tough and tender story.” In addition to continuing to entertaining teen readers with books such as Box Girl, What Gloria Wants, and The Black Sunshine of Goody Pryne, Withrow has also teamed up with artist Manuel Monroy to create the picture book Be a Baby. A lullaby that recalls the many simple events that make up an infant’s waking hours, Be a Baby was described by School Library Journal contributor Susan Moorhead as “a genial offering” full of “imagery,” while a Kirkus Reviews writer praised Withrow’s “gentle rhyming text and the message it conveys” to young children.
Something about the Author, Volume 199
In Bat Summer readers meet twelve-year-old Terence, who is left to his own devices when best friend Tom leaves for the summer. Terence makes a new friend in Lucy, an unusual thirteen year old whose obsession with bats compensates for a very real deprivation in her home life. Their relationship inspired Terence to examine his own values, and when Lucy runs away from home he must decide if true friendship means helping her hide or sending her back home. In her novel, which is set in urban Toronto, Withrow “demonstrates a reporter’s ear for the name calling, swearing, and prepubescent banter that come with the territory,” according to Lawlor. Other critics also praised the book’s wellrounded, authentic characters as well as its important message. “This original, compelling first novel illustrates the true meaning of friendship, inner strength, and integrity,” wrote Shelle Rosenfeld in a Booklist review of Bat Summer. Eight grader Gwen Bainbridge is the focus of Box Girl, and like Terence in Bat Summer Gwen is overlooked by her preoccupied, divorced father and her dad’s live-in partner Leon. Gwen’s mom has been absent for several years, and the woman’s postcards, sent from her new home somewhere in France, tap the preteen’s inner loneliness with their vague promise of a reunion. Meanwhile, she is determined not to disclose her father’s homosexuality by inviting any friends to her home, and this strategy isolates Gwen even further. When classmate Clara seems determined to become Gwen’s new best friend, the teen realizes that she is not the only one with a complicated home life. According to a Publishers Weekly contributor, readers will “relate to the protagonist’s self-consciousness about being different and the relief that comes when she finally finds a friend with whom she can be herself.” Calling Box Girl “an issue novel about working through loss,” Booklist critic Shelley Townsend-Hudson praised the novel as “well handled and credible,” and in Horn Book Jennifer M. Brabander noted that “Gwen’s emotions . . . are palpably conveyed” in a story that also “contains a great deal of humor.” The push and pull of an unbalanced friendship is the focus of What Gloria Wants. Entering ninth grade, best friends Gloria and Shawna both know that the moreassertive Shawna will be the first to snag a boyfriend, as she takes the lead in almost everything. Then Marc, the most popular boy in their class, asks Gloria out on a date. Although Shawna is hurt by Gloria’s new focus on Marc, her loyalty to her fickle friend ultimately sustains Gloria through an unpleasant realization. Calling Withrow’s story “fast moving,” School Library Journal critic Kristen M. Todd added that What Gloria Wants focuses on “common adolescent issues” with universal teen appeal. Brabander cited Withrow for creating teen protagonists who are “believably multidimensional” and also for including “plenty of wry humor” in her story. Praising the novel’s realism, Booklist contributor Cindy
WITHROW • 191
Welch concluded that What Gloria Wants “will be around long after flashier books have disappeared.” In The Black Sunshine of Goody Pryne Withrow focuses on the volatility of teen emotions, particularly anger. In the novel, readers meet narrator Stevie Walters, a misfit teen whose father was killed by a drunk driver and whose mother is emotionally troubled. Steve’s only friend in school is loud, overweight, and bullying Goody Pryne, whose home life is also troubled. Even though Goody sometimes uses Steve as a punching bag, the boy remains loyal, despite a romantic attraction to another girl in school. “Withrow manages to make Goody both sympathetic and exasperating,” wrote Kliatt contributor Claire Rosser, the critic also citing the author’s focus on “conflict resolution.” While noting that The Black Sunshine of Goody Pryne unfolds slowly, and its subject matter is too sophisticated for elementary-grade readers, Resource Links writer Susan Miller praised the novel as “a story of layers” in which “the emotions that are dealt with are dark and intensely real.” “Withrow’s characters are complex and rounded,” Miller added, “and [they] would make for interesting character studies.”

Withrow once told SATA: “When I was a young adult, I swore that I would never forget what it was like to be young. I try to write the kinds of books I would have wanted to read back then. Books that, I hope, give readers permission to grow into themselves—whoever they are. And books that acknowledge how complicated and confusing young lives can be. Finally, I enjoy showing how friendships nourish individuals and become the treasures of their lives.”

works by artists ranging from Pieter Breughel the elder and Vincent van Gogh to Mary Cassatt, Rene Magritte, and Roy Lichtenstein. In Booklist, Susan Dove Lempke praised Wolfe’s “vivid” writing in Oxford First Book of Art, noting that the author’s “thoughtful text” is accompanied by “excellent reproductions.” In the series of books for older readers that begins with Look! Zoom in on Art, Wolfe once again draws from a varied creative tapestry, using works by Mondrian, Hogarth, Landseer, Bruegel, Wassily Kandinsky, and many others to illustrate the concepts of perspective and point of focus that are central to an individual work and a way the artist controls how a work is viewed. A concluding chapter contains biographical information on each of the artists included, as well as the location where each of the works eighteen works discussed is now housed. Wolfe’s series continues in the books Look! Body Language in Art, Look! Seeing the Light in Art, and Look! Drawing the Line in Art. Calling Look! Zoom in on Art inspiring, Booklist critic GraceAnne A. DeCandido added that the works Wolfe includes in her artistic examination “are well chosen although not always well known.” In Look! Seeing the Light in Art Wolfe’s “theme is light,” and her presentation prompts children to “marvel at the incredible effects artist can achieve with their raw materials,” according to Booklist critic Gillian Engberg. Turning to the depiction of the human form throughout the ages,
Sidelights Gillian Wolfe was inspired to write for children as a result of her work in art education. Head of education at Dulwich Picture Gallery, a private museum located in London, England, Wolfe has devoted her career to inspiring young people with an interest in the fine arts. Her calling has been honored by the British Crown: Wolfe was named a member of the Order of the British Empire in 1995 and a commander in 2005, both for her services to art education. Wolfe’s children’s books, which include Oxford First Book of Art and Look! Zoom in on Art, have also won several awards, among them the United Kingdom’s Gulbenkian Award for best museum publication. As a freelance consultant, Wolfe has lectured all over the world, and her books have been translated into several languages. Wolfe’s Oxford First Book of Art, which was published in the United States as My First Book of Art, introduces the world of art to very young children. Through fineart paintings and drawings from many cultures and eras, as well as through photographs of tapestries and sculptures, Wolfe teaches readers to look beyond the image and question the meaning of individual works and the intent of the artist. Artworks are organized around themes such as animals, seasons, abstract shapes, and the human figure, and Oxford First Book of Art includes
Cover of Gillian Wolfe’s inspiring Look! Seeing the Light in Art, which teaches readers to see the world through the eyes of an artist. (Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, 2007. Reproduced by permission.)

Look! Body Language in Art features what a Kirkus Reviews writer called “a lively and sophisticated introduction to the art of closer reading a painting.” In School Library Journal, Heather Mills concluded that Wolfe’s discussion of the seventeen images profiled in the work “is light and friendly and geared toward a young audience.”
