Description
Canadian writer Lawrence often sets his young adult novels in England whether they are rollicking historical sea adventures, or introspective views of grief, war, or family relationships. Vivid details set atmospheres--exquisite descriptions of the sea's landscapes, or the horrors of battle. His two nautical series, with their Dickensian tone, rivet readers with constant surprises and cliffhangers, scary villains, and dialogues that keep pace with adventurous plots. More pensive books are character-driven and have a poetry-like prose, well-drawn images and often a haunting quality. Start with: The Convicts (Teen) Start with: The Wreckers (Teen)
