Sid Fleischman (1920-2010)
By Jennifer Mecus, Library Support Center Representative
Born in Brooklyn and having grown up in San Diego, Sid Fleischman knew what he wanted to be when he grew up: a magician. After becoming a professional magician, Sid enlisted in the U.S Naval Reserve. Graduating from San Diego State University in 1949 and working as a reporter for the San Diego Daily Journal, he was on his way to becoming a great writer. In 1950 when the paper collapsed, Sid turned to doing what he did best: writing fiction for children.
Sid won many awards, with the most notable being the 1987 Newbury Award for The Whipping Boy. He has written over 50 books, some of which were made into motion pictures and one into a musical. His son, Paul Fleischman, also a writer, won the Newbury Award for Joyful Noise, making them the only father and son to both receive the Newbury Award.
Fleischman died of cancer at the age of 90, peacefully at his home in California with his family by his side.
