M.T. Anderson writes books for young readers that range from laugh-out-loud absurd to deeply serious. His 2002 novel Feed imagined a future where everyone has a computer feed implanted in their brain, and it has become a standard text in discussions about technology and consumer culture. The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation won the National Book Award in 2006 for its unflinching look at slavery and the American Revolution.
Anderson’s range is remarkable. The Pals in Peril series is broad comedy for middle-grade readers, featuring titles like Whales on Stilts! and Zombie Mommy. The Norumbegan Quartet is a fantasy adventure series. His picture books include Handel, Who Knew What He Liked and Strange Mr. Satie, biographies of classical composers for young children. He also wrote the non-fiction Symphony for the City of the Dead about the siege of Leningrad.
