From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up Nilsen skillfully blends her extensive background in YA literature with an informative and fluid style to construct an analysis of M. E. Kerr (Marijane Meaker) and her fiction for young adults. In a thorough and well-substantiated critique she exposes this elusive author first as a person, tracing her trail of pseudonyms, next as a gifted storyteller, then as a skilled writer and finally as a true teacher. Fans of Kerr's novels will now understand why they enjoy them, as Nilsen meticulously identifies and explains how Kerr deftly uses dialogue, character development, names and foreshadowing in each of her novels. Although some readers may question the omission of negative viewpoints, the critique is in complete compliance with the purpose of Twayne's "Young Adult Authors Series": ". . .to understand better the writers they have read with such pleasure and fascination." Nilsen has successfully accomplished this task. A chronology, an appendix of honors and prizes and an extensive selected bibliography are included. Cynthia K. Leibold, Anderson High School, Cincinnati
