2012 Judge: E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart’s book The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks lost its round in the 2009 Battle of the Books to We Are The Ship. She has written seven other YA novels — all pugnacious but none actually in fighting condition. There is no truth to the rumors that she also writes under the name Emily Jenkins, so don’t go asking her publishers about it. Still, it might interest you to know that Emily Jenkins’ latest book is Toys Come Home.
