Megan McDonald

Megan McDonald ist eine bekannte amerikanische Kinderbuchautorin. Sie wurde in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, geboren und als jüngstes von fünf Schwestern aufgezogen. In ihrer Kindheit hatte McDonald Schwierigkeiten, sich bei den lebhaften Gesprächen und Erzählungen am Esstisch Gehör zu verschaffen, was sie schließlich dazu inspirierte, Dinge aufzuschreiben und zur angesehenen Autorin zu werden, die sie heute ist. McDonald erwarb ihren Bachelor-Abschluss am Oberlin College und ihren Master-Abschluss in Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft an der University of Pittsburgh. Anschließend arbeitete sie als Kinderbibliothekarin in mehreren Bibliotheken.

Bekannt ist McDonald vor allem für ihre Serie von Büchern mit Judy Moody, einem drittklassigen Mädchen. Die Serie richtet sich an Schüler der dritten und vierten Klasse und hat große Popularität unter jungen Lesern erlangt. Neben der Judy Moody-Serie hat McDonald zahlreiche Bilderbücher für noch jüngere Kinder verfasst und die Stink-Serie geschaffen, die die Abenteuer des kleinen Bruders von Judy Moody verfolgt. Die Liebe zur Erzählung und die Erfahrung als Kinderbibliothekarin haben der Autorin eine einzigartige Perspektive auf das gegeben, was Kinder in einem Buch suchen und benötigen.

Die Judy Moody-Bücher wurden von der Kritik hoch gelobt und haben zahlreiche Auszeichnungen gewonnen, darunter ein Publishers Weekly Buch des Jahres und eine Wahl der Internationalen Leseorganisation für Kinder. Der Humor, die Zugänglichkeit und die starke Charakterentwicklung in McDonalds Schreiben wurden gelobt. Mit fast 3 Millionen verkauften Exemplaren der Judy Moody-Bücher ist die Serie zu einem beliebten Klassiker der Kinderliteratur geworden. McDonald setzt ihr Schreiben fort, indem sie Inspiration aus ihren eigenen Kindheitserfahrungen und der Welt um sie herum schöpft. Derzeit lebt sie mit ihrem Ehemann und einer Menagerie von Tieren in Sebastopol, Kalifornien.
