Biography
Anderson was born in Uganda in 1970, and went to school in New Jersey.[2][3] Anderson is the daughter of a preacher, and has remained involved in the church as a pianist and a Bible study teacher.[1] Anderson includes issues of Christian faith in some of her books, though Publishers Weekly states that she "generally handles her material without preaching."[4] She is married and has 3 children.[5]
Critical responses
Kirkus Reviews says that Anderson is "an assured storyteller with a knack for creating memorable characters."[6] Anderson has been praised for both series, with Knife (the first book in the Faery Rebels series) winning the Concorde Book Award in 2011 and nominated for a Carnegie Medal in 2009.[3][7] In 2011, she was nominated for a Nebula Award for Ultraviolet.[8] Ultraviolet was shortlisted for the Andre Norton Award in 2012.[9] She has been reviewed in CM: Canadian Review of Materials[10] and Canadian Children's Book News.[11] Booklist has called Ultraviolet, a story about a young adult synesthete, "a natural grabber for teens."[12] In 2010 the Canadian Library Association gave Spell Hunter the Honor Book designation.[3]
