The Runner

Fans of Voigt's beloved Tillerman cycle know that the memory of Dicey's uncle Bullet casts a long shadow over the family. "The Runner" is Bullet's story, as involving and emotionally powerful as the rest of this celebrated cycle.

Cynthia Voigt won the Newbery Medal for Dicey’s Song, the Newbery Honor Award for A Solitary Blue, and the National Book Award Honor for Homecoming, all part of the beloved Tillerman Cycle. She is also the author of many other celebrated books for middle grade and teen readers, including Izzy, Willy-Nilly, and Jackaroo. She was awarded the Margaret A. Edwards Award in 1995 for her work in literature, and the Katahdin Award in 2004. She lives in Maine.
