Katherine Paterson. Dutton Children's Books, $24.99 (266pp) ISBN 978-0-525-46482-2

In a moving collection of more than 20 speeches and essays, seven of which have never appeared in book form, The Invisible Child: On Reading and Writing Books for Children by two-time Newbery Medalist and National Book Award winner Katherine Paterson provides insight into why and for whom she writes. A volume every bit as inspiring as her other collections of speeches, A Sense of Wonder and Gates of Excellence. (Nov.)
