The Resource Dowd, Siobhan

Description: Award-winning British author Siobhan Dowd's four extraordinary young adult novels all feature characters marginalized in some way--from poverty, foster care, the complexity of war, or Asperger's Syndrome. She gives them all powerful and authentic voices; every character shows resilience and endings are hopeful. Common also to several books are the dialect and the strong, sensory-rich settings, particularly her portrayals of Ireland. Dowd's lyrical language sings, balancing sometimes harsh situations. In two books, mystery adds suspense to already gripping, realistic fiction stories. Start with: The London Eye Mystery
