Susan Campbell Bartoletti

     The Boy Who Dared is 1 of Susan Campbell Bartoletti awesome books she made. The Boy Who Dared is about a boy named Helmuth who tortured by society when he is being pressured to hate Jews. Helmuth is later killed because he was listening to a radio station that was ruined and the people that were talking were Jews.

     Susan was born on November 18, 1958. She was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania . 2 months after she was born, her father had sadly passed away in a car accident. Her mother later got remarried when Susan finished kindergarten. She attended Marywood College and Binghamton University. After that she became a teacher. She stayed in that career for eighteen straight years.

     When Susan was younger, she wanted to be an artist when she got older. She said she had no idea that she was going to be in the writing business. For one of her books, she won a Golden Kiter award for nonfiction. She won the Jane Addams book for Children books. She also won the NCTE Orbis Pictus Award for another nonfiction book. Two other books that she had wrote were Black Potatoes, and Kids On Strike.

    The name of my book was The Boy Who Dared. The author is Susan Campbell Bartoletti. Susan has created many other books about Hitler and how life was back then.
