Who are some of your favourite Canadian authors? Remember to share the author's website if available, instead of an Amazon link. Your local library may have a lot of Canadian books too!

I saw a Silverwing book by Kenneth Oppel at a clearance sale and that took me on a nostalgia train. Looked him up and I didn't realize he's quite a prolific Canadian author!

Not sure if its all YA/easy reading, but that's what I grew up with. Both the Silverwing series and Airborn are top notch for that sorta thing and still hold up well for a re-read occassionally.

Monica Hughes had some good books, and at least a few were set in Canada. I'm too lazy to google, but I bet she's a Canuck. Gordon Korman. (YA books. Reaching into my childhood.)

I looked it up! She was british-Canadian! I remember reading so many of her books in middle school, they were great! My school library labeled books by Canadian authors with a maple leaf on the spine, so I tried to read as many of those as I could.
