It’s one of those great story-telling moments where I’m nice and comfortable and morally superior, until I realize that actually I’m exactly the same as someone I think is Evil.

And everybody in the theater laughs, and then the film cuts to Hitler laughing, watching a movie of a Nazi soldier killing Americans. I went to see Inglourious Basterds a couple of times this past month, and there is that scene where Eli Roth and Omar Doom are in the theater, and they dress themselves up to look like waiters and then whip around the corner and kill the two Nazi guards to some funny Ennio Morriconi(ish?), spaghetti-western sounding music. These books have won several awards, including the GA Peach Award. The books she is most successful for in teenage eyes are The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. She currently lives in Connecticut with her family and a pair of feral kittens they adopted from their backyard. Suzanne also has a rhyming picture book illustrated by Mike Lester entitled When Charlie McButton Lost Power. What you might find.? Well, that’s the story of Gregor the Overlander, the first book in her five-part series, The Underland Chronicles. In New York City, you’re much more likely to fall down a manhole than a rabbit hole and, if you do, you’re not going to find a tea party. Thinking one day about Alice in Wonderland, she was struck by how pastoral the setting must seem to kids who, like her own, lived in urban surroundings. While working on a Kids WB show called Generation O! she met children’s author James Proimos, who talked her into giving children’s books a try. She also co-wrote the critically acclaimed Rankin/Bass Christmas special, Santa, Baby! Most recently she was the Head Writer for Scholastic Entertainment’s Clifford’s Puppy Days. For preschool viewers, she penned multiple stories for the Emmy-nominated Little Bear and Oswald. She has worked on the staffs of several Nickelodeon shows, including the Emmy-nominated hit Clarissa Explains it All and The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo.

Since 1991, Suzanne Collins has been busy writing for children’s television.
