William Sleator

William Sleator is a noted science fiction author who writes primarily for the so-called "junior adult" audience (pre-teens and adolescents), but has also occasionally written for younger audiences. His books typically deal with adolescents coming across a peculiar phenomenon related to a element of theoretical science, then trying to deal with the situation; a common theme that is frequently intertwined with the science fiction plotline is that of family relationships, especially between siblings. He has also written books that deviate from one or both of these topics. Virtually all of his work is fiction; he has however written an autobiography entitled Oddballs.

Sleator lives in Boston, Massachusetts and in Thailand (elements of Thai culture occasionally turn up in his stories). He has two brothers, Daniel and Tycho, and a sister named Vicky.
