David Klass has published more than 20 books since 1984, writing for both young adult and adult audiences. His early novels, including The Atami Dragons (1984) and Wrestling with Honor (1989), established his interest in sports-themed fiction for younger readers. You Don’t Know Me (2001) became one of his most recognized YA novels, praised for its portrayal of a teenager dealing with abuse through dark humor.
His Caretaker trilogy (Firestorm, Whirlwind, Timelock) is an eco-thriller series aimed at YA readers, dealing with environmental destruction and time-spanning adventures. Outside of books, Klass has had a successful career as a screenwriter in Hollywood. His later novels like Grandmaster (2014) and Out of Time (2020) show continued range, from chess-themed suspense to time-travel fiction.
