The Resource Sonnenblick, Jordan

Description: Award winning American author Jordan Sonnenblick's high school creative writing teacher was author Frank McCourt, who's teaching influenced the young writer-to-be.

His writing is full of humor and most of his books are targeted at teens. Although Sonnenblick writes mainly realistic fiction, he has written one series for older kids starring Dodger, a blue chimpanzee. His characters all share quirky senses of humor and skewed ways of looking at the world. Start with Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie
