About

Margaret Peterson Haddix

Margaret Peterson Haddix, born April 9, 1964, in Washington Court House, Ohio, is an American children's and young adult fiction author known for her thought-provoking and gripping dystopian and science fiction novels. Haddix's interest in dystopian worlds began at an early age when she read "1984" at 12. This influenced her to explore themes of censorship, discrimination, and societal control in her own writing. One of her most notable works, "Among the Hidden," follows the story of a family forced to live in hiding due to strict population laws. Haddix has received numerous awards for her writing, including the ALA Notable Book Award, the National Book Award Finalist, and the California Young Reader Medal. Her books have been translated into over 30 languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. Haddix's novels have been praised for their ability to captivate readers and spark discussions about important social and ethical issues. Through her compelling storytelling, she encourages critical thinking, empathy, and a deep understanding of human nature.
