In memory of Paula Danziger

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Paula Danziger (August 18, 1944 – July 8, 2004) was a U.S. children's author. She lived in New York City.

She was a graduate of Montclair State University, earning a bachelor's and master's there before becoming a substitute teacher. After being injured in an automobile accident, she began writing. Most of her books are considered Young Adult (YA) books, although some of the Amber Brown books were aimed at younger readers.

Danziger suffered a heart attack on June 8, 2004, and died from complications a month later, at the age of 59. At the time of her death, many of her books had been published in 53 countries and in 14 languages. Paula is buried in the Woodstock Artist's Cemetery in Woodstock, NY.

Actually poor Paula is a bit isolated in my LJ, but her Amber Brown's books had a bit of romance, even if with a YA point of view. And then I love her covers :-)
