Let's all say hello to the weekend‼
Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View. You can head on to that blog by clicking on the photo above and see all the rules in joining this blog hop.
This week's question is:
Do you have an under-noticed author that you think we should all know about?
In the Philippines, I think that would be Arlene J. Chai. Her books, Eating Fire and Drinking Water, and The Last Time I Saw Mother share the history of the country, but I haven't heard of any student using this in school. They're really great books and she should be recognized by her effort.
Internationally, I think I would go for Cynthia Kadohata, who received a lot of acclaim for most of her books, but not everyone knows about her, and does not know much about her works. You can see my review of her book, Kira-Kira, winner of the 2005 John Newberry medal here.

Hey Nina! Thanks for the add. Just swinging by to return the favor and become a follower!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I haven't heard of either of these lovely authors, but I shall be keeping a weather eye out for them.
Happy hop!
I can heartily recommend our own Tribute Books author, Molly Roe. She is the author of the young adult historical fiction, Call Me Kate: Meeting the Molly Maguires. It is the first of a trilogy of books about three sisters growing up in a coal mining town during the Civil War era. It also won the Mom's Choice Award.
ReplyDeleteI also love the books of Tommie Lyn - a fantastic self-published author.
Science fiction and horror are the two genres that have stuck with me since I was a kid. That brings me back to Esther Friesner, an excellent science fiction author that I think too few people know about.
ReplyDeleteMore about my impressions of her writing are on my blog. Follow me!
TGIFF! (Thank God It’s Follow Friday!)
