Ruth Thompson

    Thompson war eine lebenslange Kinderbuchautorin, die durch die Fortsetzung der Oz-Reihe Bekanntheit erlangte. Ihre Beiträge zur Serie zeichnen sich durch lebhafte Vorstellungskraft und eine breite Palette farbenfroher und ungewöhnlicher Charaktere aus. Ihre Romane erforschen häufig Themen von Kindern in Not und übernatürlichen Begleitern, die sich in bizarren Gemeinschaften wiederfinden. Thompson führte auch einen stärkeren Schwerpunkt auf romantische Handlungsstränge und Humor ein und unterschied sich damit von ihrem Vorgänger.
