Birthdays

On this day, April 25, in 1954, Melvin Burgess was born in Twickenham, Middlesex, England. Writer of children’s fiction, he gained great notoriety in 1996 with the publication of his young adult novel, Junk, which chronicles two runaway teens who end up as heroin addicts living on the streets in Bristol. Regardless of the initial negative reaction, the book won both a Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize. Although he also wrote more “traditional” works, he courted controversy again in 2003 with the publication of Doing It, which dealt with underage sex and which, of course, was turned into a TV series, Life As We Know It. Today he turns 64.
