100 Most Popular Young Adult Authors: Biographical Sketches and Bibliographies

The book focuses on individuals writing in the '90s, but also includes 12 classic authors (e.g., Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, J.R.R. Tolkien) who are still widely read by teens. It also covers some authors known primarily for adult literature (e.g., Stephen King) and some who write mainly for middle readers but are also popular among young adults (e.g., Betsy Byars). An affordable alternative to multivolume publications, this book makes a great collection development tool and resource for author studies. It will also help readers find other books by and about their favorite writers.Drew, Bernard A. is the author of '100 Most Popular Young Adult Authors: Biographical Sketches and Bibliographies', published 1996 under ISBN 9781563083198 and ISBN 1563083191.
