Our authors this term

This term we are looking at American female authors, including Katherine Paterson, Cynthia Voigt and Ursula le Guin. They have published hundreds of books between them.

We are aiming to read at least one book by each of our authors:

• Bridge To Terabithia and The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson
• Homecoming and Dicey's Story by Cynthia Voigt
• The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula le Guin

All of the authors we are looking at are quite different in style from each other, especially Ursula le Guin who writes science-fiction and fantasy stories. Cynthia Voigt is probably most famous for writing the seven books in 'The Tillerman Cycle', which include Homecoming and Dicey's Song. Katherine Paterson's most famous book is Bridge To Terabithia, which was made into a film a few years ago. Make sure you read the book before watching the film!
