The author of seven books for middle-grade readers, Craig has worked as a journalist, coach and camp counselor. He is the former editor of OWL magazine and the former owner of a pretty solid jump shot. His first novel, Camp Average, was shortlisted for a Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Award.
One of the embarrassing moments for one of the characters in Craig’s third and final instalment of the Camp Average series, Away Games (released in April 2021), is autobiographical … but he’s not telling which one.
Born in Nanaimo, B.C., and raised in nearby Lantzville, Craig now lives in Toronto with his wife, Angela, and son, Reggie.
“Sports journalist Battle, past editor of Canadian children’s magazine Owl, brings a sharp, satirical eye to trends benign and otherwise in children’s sports.”
