Eve Tal

I was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Rockville Centre, Long Island and have lived on Kibbutz Hatzor, Israel since the 1970s. I have a B.A. from Oberlin College, an M.Ed. in special education from C.W.Post and an M.A. in children's literature from Hollins University. I published picture books in Hebrew, one of which, New Boy, has been published in a dual language version by Milk and Honey Press. My first YA historical fiction,Double Crossing, was based on my grandfather's immigration story of rejection at Ellis Island. It was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Awards and won a Paterson Prize. The sequel, Cursing Columbus, was published in Oct. 2009 by Cinco Puntos Press.
