BAuthor Avi, winner of a Newbery Award, a Scott ODell Historical Fiction Award, and several Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards, may have seen his first childrens book published in 1970, but that doesnt mean hes lost his talent for connecting with young fans.The American writer, born in 1937, agrees that getting involved with his readers is one of the key reasons he keeps writing, and that hes been fortunate enough to hear directly from readers about the impact (影响) his books have had. “I have been touched many times by readers who find some special connection between their lives and something I have written: the Danish girl who read something of mine in Danish, and struggled to communicate that in her poor English; the autistic (自闭症的) boy who somehow found something meaningful about my books that reached his own inner life; the women who have told me how important The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle was to them when growing up.”Beyond his fans questions about the characters hes created, the writers most commonly heard question may be about his own use of the single name “Avi.” “As a young adult, I was a reader of French literature, which has that one name tradition: Moliere, Racine, Anouilh, Gide, and so on,” he explains. “Avi was given to me by my twin sister when we were very young children, and it stuck.

They have offered helpful suggestions to him.25. Whats the main reason why author Avi uses the name Avi?A. It was given
