Storyteller and writing teacher DARCY PATTISON has been published in nine languages. Her books, published with Harcourt, Philomel/Penguin, Harpercollins, Arbordale, and Mims House have received recognition for excellence with starred reviews in Kirkus, BCCB and PW. Three nonfiction nature books have been honored as National Science Teacher's Association Outstanding Science Trade books. The Journey of Oliver K. Woodman (Harcourt) received an Irma Simonton Black and James H. Black Award for Excellence in Children's Literature Honor Book award, and has been published in a Houghton Mifflin textbook. She's the 2007 recipient of the Arkansas Governor's Arts Award for Individual Artist for her work in children's literature. In sixth grade, Pattison read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and Ender's Game, which left her with a life-long fascination for science fiction and fantasy. Her first published novel, THE WAYFINDER, was a fantasy. With the publication of THE BLUE PLANETS WORLD series, she returns to the genre she's always loved.
". . .an astute piece of characterization. . . . Junior high readers should approve. A solid beginning to a trilogy that addresses all sorts of teenage alienation." Kirkus Review of Book 1, SLEEPERS
