Card, Orson Scott

YA
This dry encyclopedia tie-in to Orson Scott Card's ten-books-and-counting series acts as a kind of Cliffs Notes to the Ender universe. Entries illuminate the backstories and ongoing development of characters in addition to settings and institutions. For completists only--but they will be thrilled.

Authors Teens Love series.
Lightweight biographies detail their subjects' lives, heavily focusing on anecdotes that reflect on and demonstrate their development as authors. The overwhelmingly upbeat texts are meatier when exploring the controversies of the authors' works, most apparent in Pullman; Card and Danziger are more concerned with their subjects' lives. Color photos illustrate each volume. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Authors Teens Love titles: Paula Danziger, Philip Pullman, and Orson Scott Card.
