Order of Ellen Raskin Books
Ellen Raskin was an American children’s author as well as illustrator. She is best known for her book The Westing Game that won the 1979 Newbery Medal. That book was later named one of the top ten children’s novels of all time by the School Library Journal. She would also have her book Figgs & Phantoms named as a 1975 Newbery Honor Book.
Raskin was born in Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for her college degree in fine art. She would work in New York City as a commercial artist and even designed many dustjackets for books. In a fun trivia note, she did the dustjacket for the Newbery Medal award winner A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle.
