Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (born January 4, 1933) is an American writer best known for children's and young-adult fiction. Naylor is best known for her children's-novel quartet ''Shiloh'' (a 1992 Newbery Medal winner) and for her "Alice" book series, one of the most frequently challenged books of the last decade.〔(Frequently challenged books of the 21st century )〕
==Early life==
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor was born in United States. She grew up during the Great Depression with her older sister Norma and younger brother John. She has said that she never felt poor, as her parents had a book collection and read stories aloud to her and her siblings until adolescence.〔(Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Biography )〕 Her favorite book as a child was Huckleberry Finn. She began writing her own stories when she was in elementary school. When she was 16 years old, a Sunday school teacher asked her to write a story for the church magazine. She wrote a baseball story named "Mike's Hero" and was paid $4.67 for it.〔 She continued writing, even sending her stories to magazines such as ''Highlights'', ''Seventeen'', and ''Jack and Jill'', receiving two years of rejection letters.〔(Phyllis Reynolds (P. R. Tedesco) Naylor (1933–) – Personal, Addresses, Career, Member, Honors Awards, Writings, Adaptations, Sidelights, Autobiography Feature )〕
Naylor graduated from Joliet Township High School in 1951 and from Joliet Junior College in 1953. When Naylor was 18 years old, she married her first husband and they soon moved to Chicago where she worked as a clinical secretary in a university hospital. Years later her husband began showing signs of severe mental illness, requiring her to seek out treatment for him all over the country. To support them, Naylor wrote and worked a series of jobs including assistant executive secretary, an elementary school teacher and eventually got a job as an editorial assistant for a magazine. He was eventually diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and with no hope of recovery, they divorced.〔
