A multiple-time Newbery Medal winner, Kate DiCamillo was born in Philadelphia and raised in Florida before eventually settling in Minneapolis, where she lives today with her dog. She has no children of her own but describes herself as a devoted aunt three times over.
Because of Winn-Dixie, her 2000 debut, became an instant bestseller. This guide runs a different series instead, in publication order: nine Mercy Watson books, from the 2005 opener through 2022's A Very Mercy Christmas, a lighter shelf for younger readers.
