When he was in his ninth grade, his capabilities were recognized by his English teacher. The teacher challenged him to write one story a month to earn extra credits.

This book won for him nomination into the New Jersey Garden State Children’s Book Award in the year 2010 and 2010-2011 California Young Reader Medal.

The Schwa Was Here This is a book which caters to the young adult audience. It was published by Dutton-Penguin in 2004. It talks about an eighth-grader’s friendship-with another-student named Calvin Schwa. As soon as the book was released, it received high acclamation and a starred review from School-Library-Journal and a positive review from Booklist. It received the Boston Globe/Horn Book Magazine award in 2005 for fiction and poetry. The book had been considered for a telefilm project by The Disney Channel. Shusterman has been appointed to write the script for this project. He had earlier also worked with the Disney channel on the project Pixel Perfect.

Passion Fulfills Every Dream

Here I want to quote something that the School Library Journal wrote about him: “Shusterman’s characters–reminiscent of those-crafted by Jerry Spinelli and E. L. Konigsburg–are infused with the kind of controlled, precocious-improbability that magically-vivifies the finest-children’s classics. Since an early-age, he dreamed of moving to California, because his favorite television shows were shot there. Some of his award winning books and films are Unwind, Everlost, Deadlocks, Full Tilt, Downsiders and the list goes on. His books have had deep impact on the minds of children. Most of the early stories he wrote were mostly non-fiction. He is mostly known among the teens as a writer because of his series as Dark Fusion and the novel, Unwind. One of his book was also adapted for a Disney Channel original movie. He was a longtime fan of the X-Files TV show and therefore wrote the X-Files novelizations under the pseudonym Easton Royce along with other writers such as ric Elfman and Michelle Knowlden. His requirements and demands are so high that he has to divide his time between authoring, film scripting, film directing, and public speaking. Some of his books have been written for a younger audience such as the Antsy stories which are very humorous.

The Legacy Continues

He now continues to write novels in California and is working on a screenplay for his work “Everlost”. Today, he is also a source of inspiration for other creators and artists. He says that authors should not just focus and write for a specific audience. They must consider a wide range of genres and formats. He galvanizes the other writers by his four basic writing principles: “Write, Rewrite, Read, and Persevere. The world is sure to witness great many more things from him in the coming days.

At one place he writes to his audience “I’ve always felt that stories aimed at adolescents and teens are the most important stories that can be written, because it’s adolescence that defines who we are going to be.
