Who is the author of the Newbury Honor book 'The Thief'?

• A. Rick Riordan
• B. Megan Whalen Turner
• C. Lois Lowry
• D. Stephen King

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is matching the book to its author and recognizing the award it received. The Thief is written by Megan Whalen Turner, and it was honored with a Newbery Honor, which is given by the American Library Association to standout children's or young adult books. That makes Turner the correct author for this title.

The other authors listed are known for different works: Rick Riordan writes the Percy Jackson series, Lois Lowry has written books like The Giver, and Stephen King is known for adult horror. Turner’s association with The Thief and its Newbery Honor distinction is what links her to this specific book.
