Paula Danziger (August 18, – July 8, ) was an American author of children's and young adult literature.
She was a middle school teacher in New Jersey from 1967-1978 while studying for a Master's degree. Her studies were interrupted when she was in a car crash, where a drunk driver hit her car, and she slammed her head against the front window which caused her to have brain damage.[1] In 1978 she left teaching to write full-time.
Although readers loved her books because of the humor, some critics called them superficial and generic. Others praised her work for tackling real-life issues.[2]
Danziger died in 2004 after complications from a heart attack.
She was 59.[1]
