Today's author is Avi, a huge favorite of ours. Because he's written an inordinate amount of books, we're only including the novels here.

This Newbery Award and Newbery Honor Award winner is an incredible writer - guaranteed even if you're not a fan of the plot, you walk away feeling like you've been there.
