It's time for one of my all-time favorites now: Rodman Philbrick, author of Freak the Mighty, Max The Mighty and The Last Book in the Universe, among others.
Based on what I know of preposition usage in Spanish names, I'm going to go for a "C" name here, rather than a "D" one. Carol Matas
I'm taking a guess that it is "D" this time haha correct me if I'm wrong. I too have limited Spanish. My Spanish only extend in simple phrases and food. Basically enough for me to survive. Dante Alighieri
It would be the "D" in this case. dePaola is actually an Italian name, though, but like Spanish, is grouped as one of the Romance Languages. Alexander Key

Haha! I can't even do that.
You're not a big fan of Toni Morrison? I haven't read much of her writing, but I did like Little Cloud and Lady Wind.Margaret Wise Brown

I have one of her books on my "to-read" list.
Death Comes for the Archbishop
Willa Cather
Ah, The Bluest Eye. That's a book that always makes it onto any recent list of most frequently banned books in the U.S. I've never actually read it, though.Here's another one of my personal favorite authors: Clyde Robert Bulla. My favorite one of his books is Shoeshine Girl.
You say that but you only gave it a three.

LMAO! I didn't realize that they only have one sentence on the E-reader edition. If you look on the other editions, the summary is more in depth. HAHA
Clyde Robert Bulla's Shoeshine Girl may not have blown my mind in a way that would push me to rate it as high as four or five stars, but it's an excellent story, nonetheless. I would have actually rated it as three and a half stars, if that option were available.Sarah Lindsay Schmidt, author of the rare 1934 Newbery Honor book New Land: A Novel for Boys and Girls.
Stormy Glen!!?? That sounds so familiar... That's an awesome first name. It would have been hilarious if she was a weather forecaster.Gary Paulsen I heart Gary Paulsen's book Hatchet!
.......................................................................................................................................Sorry. It's one of my favorites. It was one of the books that made me love nature/survival stories. Plato
Could never get into The Golden Compass but my brother liked it.
Will James, author of the 1927 Newbery Medal winner Smoky The Cow Horse, another of my all-time favorites.
