John David Anderson

1975

​John David Anderson is the best-selling author of several critically-acclaimed novels for young people, including Posted, Granted, and Ms. Bixby's Last Day. His books have garnered several awards, been translated into multiple languages, and frequently appear on state reading lists. Before becoming a middle-grade novelist, Dave (as he prefers to be called) taught at the University of Illinois. Before that he longed to be Indiana Jones, but his parents wouldn't buy him a whip. Dave lives with his ever-patient wife and two ornery cats, MJ and Parker, in Indianapolis, Indiana, in a house that is steadily filling with Lego. He does not wear ties.-website
