Authors and Artists for Young Adults on Harold Ramis

The mild-mannered brown-haired man wore wire-rimmed glasses as he sat down at his typewriter for the day. His fingers raced over the keys, pounding life into outlandish characters and side-splitting situations. A college fraternity full of nerds, food fights, and riotous parties sprang to life. Then came a summer camp with an oddball counselor, followed closely by a country club inhabited by a groundskeeper obsessed with doing in a bothersome gopher. Military life and its many disciplines were next to undergo his comic scrutiny before he moved on to the supernatural and the profession of ghostbusting. Leaving the marshmallow man melting in defeat, the writer's secret identity began to show as he leapt in a single bound to the stories of a less than glamorous resort island that opens for business a bit too early and a father and son who attend the same college. And from college, he moved on to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, focusing on an endless Groundhog Day that begins with the sounds of Sonny and Cher over and over again.
