Nathaniel Lachenmeyer
I am an award-winning author of books for children and adults, and a playwright. My published books include The Boo! Book, The Origami Master, Broken Beaks, and The Outsider. My forthcoming children's books include picture books with Carolrhoda and Eerdmans and a children's graphic novel with First Second, an imprint of Roaring Brook Press.
The Boo! Book
“Lyrical...impressive...beautifully supernatural.... The Boo! Book would make a fine addition to either a Halloween- or book-themed storytime or add a delicious hint of eeriness to a bedtime readaloud."
-- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
The Outsider
Kenneth Johnson Memorial Research Library Book Award
Bell of Hope Award
"Extraordinary . . . A rare gift: a memoir that helps enlighten readers that homeless, mentally ill people have lives beyond what we might ever hope to see."
--Newsday
"Highly recommended."
--Library Journal
The Origami Master
A Junior Library Guild Selection
A Children's Indie Next Pick
A Book Links Lasting Connection
