Catherine, Called Birdy by Karen Cushman
Catherine one day hopes to become a painter, a Crusader, a peddler, a minstrel, amonk, a wart charmer . . . anything besides being sold like a cheese to the highest
bidder. Winner of the Newbery Honor, this richly entertaining story with an utterly
unforgettable heroine now features a new introduction by Linda Sue Park.
Karen Cushman was born in Chicago and grew up there and in Southern California. Before she started writing full-time, she was assistant director and adjunct professor in the Museum Studies department at John F. Kennedy University in San Francisco. She now lives on Vashon Island in Washington State with her husband. Ms. Cushman s seven previous novels have helped historical fiction take a prominent place in children s literature. The first, Catherine, Called Birdy, received a Newbery Honor. The second, The Midwife s Apprentice, was awarded the Newbery Medal.
