關於作者:
Louis Sachar was born in East Meadow, New York, moved to
Southern California when he was nine, and now lives in Austin,
Texas. Louis''s first book for children, Sideways Stories from
Wayside School was accepted for publication during his first week
of law school. Although Louis graduated and passed the bar
exam, he opted to be a full-time writer for children rather than a
lawyer.
Louis met his wife, Carla, when he was a visiting author at a
school in Texas. She was a counselor at the same school.
They have a daughter, Sherre. Louis likes to play
chess, cards, ski, play the guitar and sing loudly, but mostly he
likes spending time with Carla and Sherre.
