Robinson Crusoe: As Told in One-Syllable Words

As the sole survivor of a shipwreck, an Englishman lives for nearly thirty years on a deserted island.

Avi has published more than sixty books. Among them is Crispin: The

Cross of Lead, winner of the 2003 Newbery Medal. Other novels with

nineteenth-century settings, like The Traitors' Gate — his grand nod to

the work of Charles Dickens — are listed before the title page, and include

the Newbery Honor Book, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. Avi and

his family live in Denver, Colorado.
