What are the first ten names that come into your mind when someone mentions writers of juvenile fiction or "young adult" authors? You don't have to like them or even have read them. Who do you think of?
I'll post the first ten that pop into my head in a separate post so that I don't influence your associations.

9. And Tom Swift? | Franklin Dixon and Victor Appleton (or Victor Appleton Jr. if you mean the second series of science fiction tales). Of course both were really pen names for the Stratemeyer syndicate. | |
