Wigger (novel)


Wigger is a 1974 novel written by William Goldman about a young girl who loses her blanket.
Wigger was named for a blanket that belonged to Goldman's daughter Susanna. Goldman later said the novel was one of his favorites and writing it was a "wonderful experience... compared to what it's like ordinarily."
The book was voted a Book of the Year by the Child Study Association. However, Goldman, who died in 2018, never wrote another children's book.
