![]() ![]() She won Newbery honors and a Newbery award back in the day, but seems to have fallen out of fashion. ![]() Kate Seredy was a Hungarian-born author and illustrator who drew heavily on her heritage for all of her books. I'm starting this off with one of my all-time favorite series, which almost nobody else seems to have heard of. Still, plenty of "juvenile" fiction contains characters and themes worthy of older readers, just as plenty of "adult" fiction is accessible and interesting to teens. Classics that were assigned in school, like Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, and A Separate Peace, weren't written to be YA they just had teenaged protagonists. Since this was in the 1980s, a lot of the books I read were either kids' books or adult books-there just wasn't a lot of specifically YA material being published. ![]() I'm launching a semi-regular feature here at Falconer's Library where I will write reviews for books that were my favorites back when I was in 5th-10th grade. ![]()
