Bauer was born in River Forest, Illinois.
The main characters in her books are typically teenagers who are dealing with complicated family issues, such as alcoholism, abandonment, illness, and self-esteem issues, but such issues are faced with a light touch and humor is added in to lighten it up. Before publishing her first book, she worked for the Chicago Tribune, McGraw-Hill books, and World's Largest Store Radio. Bauer"s first book was set in rural Iowa: Squashed, published in 1992 by Delacorte Press, a Dell Publishing imprint.
"Sixteen-year-old Ellie Morgan"s life would be almost perfect if she could just get her potentially prize-winning pumpkin to put on about 200 more pounds—and if she could take off 20 herself.. in hopes of attracting Wes, the new boy in town."
The American Library Association award recognizes the year"s most distinguished contribution to American children"s literature.
A distinct award for young-adult books had been introduced in 2000, the Michael L. Printz Award. Hope Was Here features Hope Yancey, a 16-year-old waitress in small-town Wisconsin.
According to the Newbery Committee chair, "Bauer juggles story lines as well as Hope juggles plates, and the lessons of waitressing expand into lessons about the essentials of life.".
She has won several awards for her writing including a Los Angeles Times Book Prize (for young-adult literature, Rules of the Road in 1998), a Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children"s Book Writers and Illustrators (for fiction, Rules of the Road in 1999), and a Christopher Award (Close to Famous, one of six for Young People named in 2012).
