Gr. 7^-10. True to its subject, Tingum's biography of the noted plainspoken writer is without histrionics. Her steady chronology of the facts of White's life and work is sometimes too flat--this isn't as lively as Beverly Gherman's E. B. White (1992)--but Tingum writes candidly about White's shyness and depression and his withdrawal from public life, as well as about his success. What enriches her account is the numerous black-and-white photos throughout and the quotes (too few) from White himself about his children's books, his New Yorker articles, and the places and people he loved. Teens who pick this up because they remember Charlotte's Web may be moved to seek out White's writing for adults. Sources; bibliography. Hazel Rochman
