Paula Danziger

Young adults' author Danziger dead at 59

My love affair with Paula Danziger's books began when I picked up a 'three books in one' copy of The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, There's a Bat in Bunk Five, and Can You Sue Your Parents For Malpractice? I fell in love with the books straight away, and spent a large amount of time hunting down her other books to read and buy.

I have my battered copy of that 'three in one' book in front of me. I think it's time to read her books all over again.



"Yesterday I looked in the mirror and saw a pimple. Its name is Agnes.

What sad news! Paula Danziger was a favorite of mine when I was a kid.
