Joan Lingard (born 23 April 1932 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a Scottish novelist. She spent many years living in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[1]

Career

Lingard has written novels for both adults and children. She is known for the teenage-aimed Kevin and Sadie series, which have sold over one million copies and have been reprinted many times since.

Her first novel Liam's Daughter was an adult-oriented novel published in 1963. Her first children's novel was The Twelfth Day of July (the first of the five Kevin and Sadie books) in 1970.

Lingard received the prestigious West German award the "Buxtehuder Bulle" in 1986 for Across the Barricades. Tug of War has also received great success: shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 1989, The Federation of Children's Book Group Award 1989, runner up in the Lancashire Children's Book Club of the year 1990 and shortlisted for the Sheffield Book Award. In 1998, her book Tom and the Tree House won the Scottish Arts Council Children's Book Award. Her most recent novel, What to Do About Holly was released in August 2009.

Lingard was awarded an MBE in 1998 for services to children's literature.[2]

Lingard's writing has been called "alive"[3] and "intelligent, warm",[4] "Solid and interesting.",[5]

Personal life

Lingard was born in Edinburgh, in the Royal Mile[6] but grew up in Belfast in Holland Gardens where she lived until she was 18. She attended Strandtown Primary and then got a scholarship into Bloomfield Collegiate School.[7] She has three daughters and five grandchildren, and now lives in Edinburgh with her Canadian husband.
