Lynne Reid Banks
Sherri Liberman

It made news upon publication because of its subject matter—the trauma of making the painful decision to give up an unborn child. The author of the Indian in the Cupboard series, Banks wrote more than fifty novels for children and young adults. Included are source notes, a biographical timeline, and an interview with the author.
