    Excerpts:

    Colby Rodowsky, a prolific author of children’s and young adult novels often set in Baltimore and the Eastern Shore, died of congestive heart failure Oct. 5 at her Riderwood Village home in Silver Spring. The longtime Guilford and Charlesbrook resident was 88.

    Book critics said that she built a nationwide following and that her name was a familiar sight on the American Library Association’s annual Notable Books list.

    “I’ve always marveled at her impressive body of work,” said Linda Lapides, a retired Enoch Pratt Free Library staff member. “She discovered her calling later in life and wrote with honesty and perception. She didn’t shy away from poverty, mental illness, absent parents and death. Her stories resonated with her readers.”
