Biography
British author who wrote about a number of complex subjects - single parenthood, the Middle East, Zionism - but she is best known to young audiences for her imaginative stories like The Indian in the Cupboard, The Adventures of King Midas, and The Fairy Rebel. Many of Reid Banks's titles for younger readers, such as the "Indian" books, feature magic as a central theme. Teen readers are attracted to works such as The Writing on the Wall, in which Reid Banks deals with typical teenage problems, such as dating and family relationships. Earlier in her career she wrote several plays, as well as books for adults, most famously The L-Shaped Room. - from Contemporary Authors Onlinemore
