Jerry Spinelli

Post by Tuly »

I just read Eggs by Jerry Spinelli. Spinelli's stories have very eclectic children, that usually have to overcome many challenges, and overcome they do well. I would suggest this book to any one over 10-years old. I actually liked his other books better: Maniac Magee and Stargirl. Here is a short bio of Spinelli:
Jerry Spinelli (born on February 1, 1941 in Norristown, Pennsylvania) is a noted children's author, specializing on novels written for and about early adolescence. Among his books are Milkweed, Space Station Seventh Grade, Maniac Magee (winner of the 1991 Newbery Medal), Wringer (1998 Newbery Honor book), Eggs, Stargirl, and Smiles to go.
"Condemn me not because of mine imperfection,... but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been." Mormon 9:31
