Sylvia Engdahl

Sylvia Engdahl is the author of eleven science fiction novels, six of which are Young Adult novels that are also enjoyed by adults. Although she is best known for her Newbery Honor book "Enchantress from the Stars," her other YA novels are for older teen readers and her five latest novels are adult SF. She has also published a nonfiction book and three collections of essays. In addition she has worked as a freelance editor of nonfiction anthologies for high schools (most of the nonfiction books that appear in Amazon's catalog under her name are those edited by her in this capacity). She is a strong advocate of space colonization, and besides a widely-read space section of her website she created the site www.spacequotes.com (now at www.sylviaengdahl.com/spacequotes/), which contains quotations about why humankind must expand into space.
