Description: A compelling study of activist cross-writing by authors better known for their work "for adults"
Brief description: Suzanne Manizza Roszak is assistant professor of English at the University of Groningen in the north of the Netherlands. She is author of Uncanny Youth: Childhood, the Gothic, and the Literary Americas.
Review Quotes: While recognizing the shortcomings of the adult-child reader binary, They Also Write for Kids places in conversation with one another works for adult and child audiences by well-known, influential authors from underrepresented cultures. Calling attention to these important authors' works for children, as well as adults, is a wonderful service for all literary scholars, as is the reminder of the overlap and intersection of these two audiences.--Ramona Caponegro, professor of children's literature at Eastern Michigan University
