It’s a hunch, but I bet Avi’s answer to his own question would be: “I wrote.” Avi is the pen name for young adult author, Edward Irving Wortis. He’s written over 70 books for children, often with unique characters in novel settings. He is one of only a few writers to have won more than one Newbery Award, the most prestigious in children’s literature. He won the gold medal for Crispin, the Cross of Lead (2003), and runners-up for both The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (1991), and Nothing but the Truth (1992).
