Alfred Slote (born September 11, 1926) is a children's author known for his numerous sports and space novels. His writing has been described as "making space travel seem as ordinary as piling in the family wagon for a jaunt to McDonald's". Slote's 1991 novel ''Finding Buck McHenry'' was adapted into a 2000 television film. He currently resides in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In 2012 Slote and his baseball book ''Jake'' were the subject of an ESPN ''30 for 30'' short documentary in which Slote describes his writing process and reads from the book, saying it is his best writing. ==Works== * ''Denham Proper'' (1953) * ''Lazarus in Vienna'' (1956) * ''The Princess Who Wouldn't Talk'' (1964) * ''Strangers and Comrades'' (1964) * ''The Moon in Fact and Fancy'' (1967) * ''Air in Fact and Fancy' (1968) * ''Termination; the closing at Baker plant'' (1969) * ''Stranger on the Ball Club'' (1970) * ''Jake'' (1971) * ''The Biggest Victory'' (1972) * ''My Father, the Coach'' (1972) * ''Hang Tough, Paul Mather'' (1973) * ''Tony and Me'' (1974) * ''Matt Gargan's Boy'' (1975) * ''The Hotshot'' (1977) * ''Love and Tenni'' (1979) * ''The Devil Rides With Me and Other Fantastic Stories'' (1980) * ''Clone Catcher'' (1982) * ''Rabbit Ears'' (1982) * ''A Friend Like That'' (1988) * ''Moving In'' (1988) * ''Make-Believe Ball Player'' (1989) * ''The Trading Game'' (1990) * ''Finding Buck McHenry'' (1991) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfred Slote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
