Described by the Washington Post as "America's best living author for Young Adults," Richard Peck is the first children's book writer ever to have been awarded a National Humanities Medal. He has won a Newbery, an Edgar Award, a Scott O'Dell Award, a Christopher Award, and a Margaret K. Edwards Award for lifetime achievement in YA literature. Three Quarters Dead was disappointing to say the least, especially compared to some of his other award-winning books. Sophomore, Kerry Wiliamson, is accepted into the inner circle of the coolest girls in school - Natalie, Makenzie, and Tanya. She enjoys extended lunch periods basking in their popularity. She is involved in a Halloween plot to frighten Alyssa Stark and is instrumental in their after life attack on Spence Myers.
"If there weren't any followers, where would the leaders be?"
"People would rather be ruled than by alone."
"People will their souls if you do their thinking for them."
