Marjorie W. Sharmat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marjorie Weinman Sharmat (born Nov.12,1928 in Portland, Maine) is an American children's writer.
Sharmat has authored more than 130 books for children and teens. Her books have been translated into several languages and have won awards, such as Book of the Year by the Library of Congress or have become selections by the Literary Guild.
Very briefly in the 1980s, Sharmat also wrote Sorority Sisters, a romantic book series, which had a sense of humor.
Among Sharmat's most popular books are those featuring Nate the Great. One of her Nate the Great stories, Nate the Great Goes Undercover, was turned into a made-for-TV movie and won the Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival Award.
In expanding the Nate the Great storyline, Sharmat created Olivia Sharp, Nate the Great's cousin and fellow detective.
