This well-written and informative biography weaves facts about Hinton's life with analyses of and reflections on her novels. What emerges is an interesting portrait of a gifted writer whose work continues to touch young people. A section entitled In Her Own Words provides further insight through speeches and interviews. A few photos of the author are scattered throughout. There are also several movie stills from film adaptations of her books, which feature some young actors who later became major stars, such as Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, and Nicolas Cage. Familiarity with Hinton's work will make this a more compelling read although it could also serve as an introduction to the author and stimulate an interest in seeking out her enduring classics., School Library Journal November 2007
