Todd Strasser
Born in New York City, Todd went to
school in Roslyn. His best subject was science. He liked
to read, but had difficulty with spelling and grammar,
and struggled in English. Todd went to college at
New York University for a few years, and then dropped
out. He lived on a commune and then in
Europe where he was a street musician. All the while,
he wrote songs and poems and lots of letters to
his friends back home. After studying literature and
writing at Beloit College, Todd worked as a
reporter at the Middletown Times Herald-Record newspaper
and later at Compton Advertising in New
York City. In 1978, he sold his first novel, Angel Dust
Blues, and used the money to start the Dr. Wing
Tip Shoo fortune cookie company. For the next 12 years,
Todd sold many more fortune cookies than
books. In 1990, Todd moved to Westchester County. He
is the author of more than 120 books for
teens and middle graders including the best-selling Help!
I'm Trapped In ... series, and numerous
award-winning YA novels including The Wave, Give A Boy
A Gun, The Accident, Can't Get There
From Here, Boot Camp, and If I Grow Up. His newest series
for grades 3 - 6 is The Tardy Boys. Several of his books
have been adapted for television. His books have been translated
into more than a
dozen languages, and he has also written for television,
newspapers, and magazines such as The New
Yorker, Esquire, and The New York Times. Todd now divides
his time between writing books and
speaking at schools and conferences.
