Paula Danziger: A Tribute

2004-07-29T23:18:44Z

I never met Paula Danziger face to face, but she touched my daughter and me with her books. I am especially greatful for "P.S. Longer Letter Later" and "Snail Mail No More" because they turned my daughter on to young adult fiction at a time when most everything else that was recommended was beneath her reading level. So imagine my glee when I received an email from Ms. Danziger, and learned that she was a subscriber to my newsletter and a fan! When I didn't get a response to my reply, I thought perhaps I said something rude, but then I learned she suffered a heart attack just days after our correspondence. Although Ms. Danziger is gone, her characters, such as the spunky Amber Brown and the exuberant Tara*Starr, will live on.

Paula Danziger was the only author I'd read for my entire 4th and 5th grade classes...I had an obsession after she released the Amber Brown books.

Yes. The 2004 Athens Olympics will be my next topic. Look for it in your newsletter and on the site on Wednesday Aug 11.

Are you planning to do anything on the Olympics?

Thanks for the information about Paula Danziger. My class and children enjoy her books also. I heard her speak on a panel at the Texas Book Festival a couple of years ago about writing children's book in a series. I missed her at the book signing session. She will be missed.
