The Washington Post
There are a handful of authors writing for pre- and early-teen readers whose books are so quirkily original, so airily intelligent, that a single paragraph can make a jaded reviewer's spirits rise. They include Betsy Byars, Polly Horvath, Richard Peck, Daniel Pinkwater, Britain's William Mayne and, of course, E.L. Konigsburg, who won the Newbery medal in 1968 for From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and again 29 years later for The View From Saturday. Konigsburg's latest could make her a triple winner. Elizabeth Ward
