Martine Leavitt is an award–winning writer of young adult fiction. She fell in love with
fantasy fiction when she read J.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings two weeks before high school
final exams. She coundn't put it down and almost failed. It was a pivotal moment. She went on to
read many fantasy novels, including The Dragon's Tapestry, The Prism Moon, The Taker's Key and The Dollmage.
With her latest novels, Martine Leavitt turns from fantasy to the fertile ground of teenagers'
immaginations. With Tom Finder and now with Heck Superhero, her characters face challenges in
tough, gritty, urban settings. |
