Dr. Kevin White (MD, PhD) is a long-time physician and university professor who, after winning numerous national and international awards for his teaching and research, including the prestigious Collip Medal, retired to follow his dream of being a best-selling author. Already the winner of FIVE international book awards, one for non-fiction and the others for full-length novels (PUCK; Inside a Hollow Tree; The River Riders), he has turned to primarily writing thought-provoking young adult novels. Common threads through all his novels are his easy-to-read style and deep understanding of the human condition, especially among those whom society considers 'different'.
