Bechard, Margaret

(1953-    ) US author, usually for a Young Adult audience; her two sf novels for this market are Star Hatchling (1995), in which two young persons discover a lost Alien adolescent, though expectations are soon reversed, for the alien is a human, the planet she is lost on is not Earth, and her young rescuers are not human; and Spacer and Rat (2005), in which young Jack, who is a Spacer born, must decide whether or not to help an Earth girl rescue her Robot from a repressive government.
