Norah McClintock
Since the
publication of her first mystery in 1992, McClintock has
established herself as the best-known author of teen
mysteries in Canada. In addition to her highly popular
mysteries (including the Chloe & Levesque series, the Mike &
Riel series and the Robyn Hunter series, and the new Dooley
series), she has a non-fiction title (not surprisingly, also
about murder) called Body, Crime, Suspect: How a Murder
Investigation Really Works.
Winner of the 2004
Red Maple Award for Hit and Run, Norah also has the
distinction of being the only author ever to have won the
Arthur Ellis Award for Juvenile Fiction five times. Details
of her numerous awards and nominations follow.
