Synopsis
Author

Dan Gutman is the author of many children’s books, mostly about sports. In nonfiction, Dan’s range extends from baseball (Baseball’s Biggest Bloopers,Baseball’s Greatest Games, World Series Classics) all the way to Gymnastics and Ice Skating (all Viking Children’s Books).

He also writes sports fiction such as Honus & Me (Avon), The Million Dollar Shot (Hyperion)and They Came From Centerfield (Scholastic). Finally, Dan enjoys writing about other subjects besides sports, as he did in The Kid Who Ran For President (Scholastic), Virtually Perfect (Hyperion), and Taking Flight (Viking Children’s Books).

When he’s not writing a book, Dan is usually visiting a school, where he uses sports to get kids excited about reading and writing. Dan Gutman lives in Haddonfield, New Jersey with his wife Nina and their children Sam and Emma. If you visit Dan’s web site, you’ll find out a lot more about Dan, his books, and his school visits.
