Geraldine McCaughrean

Geraldine McChaughreen ist eine hoch angesehene britische Autorin, die vor allem für ihre Arbeit in Kinderbüchern und Jugendromane bekannt ist. Sie hat über 170 Romane in ihrer Karriere verfasst, darunter mehrere beliebte Serien wie die Orchard Myths-Reihe, die Cissy Sissney-Reihe, The Heroes-Reihe, die Roman Myths-Reihe und die Monacello-Reihe. Ihre Werke wurden in mehr als 44 Fremdsprachen übersetzt und mit zahlreichen renommierten Preisen ausgezeichnet.

Geboren im Jahr 1951 in North London, studierte McChaughreen am Christ Church College of Education, Canterbury und arbeitete 10 Jahre in einem Londoner Verlagshaus, bevor sie 1988 Vollzeit-Autorin wurde. Sie hat über 120 Bücher, 50 Kurzstücke für Schulen und ein Hörspiel verfasst. Ihre Erwachsenenromane umfassen Fires’ Astonishment (1990) und The Ideal Wife (1997), aber am besten ist sie für ihre Kinderbücher bekannt. Sie hat den Carnegie Medal zweimal gewonnen, einmal den Michael L. Printz Award und mehrere andere prestigeträchtige Preise. McChaughreen hat die einzigartige Fähigkeit, für Kinder aller Altersgruppen zu schreiben, von Erstlesern und Bilderbüchern bis hin zu Kinderromanen und Geschichtensammlungen.

Ein Höhepunkt von McChaughreens Karriere ist das Schreiben des offiziellen Nachfolgers von Peter Pan mit dem Titel Peter Pan in Scarlet, das von der Inhaberin des Peter Pan-Copyrights, dem Great Ormond Street Hospital, in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Das Buch wurde 2004 veröffentlicht und in viele Sprachen übersetzt. McChaughreens andere bemerkenswerte Werke umfassen A Little Lower than the Angels (1987), Gold Dust (1993) und Not the End of the World (2004), die alle den Whitbread Children’s Book Award gewonnen haben. Sie hat auch mehrere Geschichtensammlungen verfasst, darunter biblische Geschichten und Märchen, und ist bekannt für ihre Neuerzählungen klassischer Werke wie The Canterbury Tales, The Odyssey, Moby Dick und El Cid.

McChaughreen lebt in Berkshire und ihr Buch Not the End of the World wird derzeit für die Bühne adaptiert. Sie setzt ihr Schreiben fort und inspiriert weiterhin junge Leser mit ihrer einfallsreichen und ansprechenden Erzählweise.
