Biography edit

Early life edit

Agell was born in Norsjö, Sweden, on September 7, 1959.[2][3] She is the daughter of businessman Christer L. Agell and artist; Margareta "Meta" McDonald.[2] Her great-grandfather, Hugo K. Segerborg, was the director of Royal Swedish Academy of Arts.[4] When asked about her childhood, Agell said, "somebody always handed me art supplies."[4] Her family moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada; when she was two years old; where her brother Karl and sister Anna were born. She attended Carlyle Elementary school[5] where she learned English Language and listened to tales of Maine from Anglo-Canadian and Franco-Canadian friends.[3] She became enamored with Maine hence wrote a story set in Halibut, Maine; a fictional town in which she imagined herself as her protagonist, a ruddy-cheeked boy catching fish for dinner.[4]

At the age of eleven, Agell's family moved from Canada back to Sweden (where they stayed briefly) and then to Hong Kong . She graduated from a Lutheran mission school; Hong Kong International School;[5] which she said was affiliated with an open-minded ecumenical church.[1]

As a compromise with her mother, Agell applied to Bowdoin College in Brunswick, for early acceptance. Instead of leaving school for a hitch-hiking stint with her boyfriend, she left Hong Kong and arrived in Maine in 1977. She felt an immediate sense of home and has lived in the state ever since. Recalling her childhood story, she wonders if she'd "written herself into the state."[3]

Agell graduated from Bowdoin College in 1981, where she studied art[4] and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in education.[2] She later earned a teaching certificate from the University of Southern Maine, and a master's degree in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1986.[2]

Agell became a naturalized citizen of the United States in the 1990s.[2]

Agell taught multilingual and multicultural education at Portland High School, Portland, ME[3] and lived in several Maine towns before settling in Brunswick with her husband Peter J. Simmons, an arts administrator and master gardener. She and Peter have two children, Anna and Jon.[2]

Along with her work as a writer and illustrator, Agell is a teacher in the gifted and talented language arts program at Harrison Middle School in Yarmouth .[6] She says she's found her "tribe" with middle-schoolers.[2] She has also conducted workshops for youths and adults at various literary events throughout the state,[2] including the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts[7] in Deer Isle. She was also a member of Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance.[citation needed]

Literary works edit

Dancing Feet (1994) is a rhyming story about the function of feet, hands, noses, legs and mouths.[8][9] The text is matched with watercolor illustrations that depict similarities and differences of people from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and reflecting Agell's interest in multicultural education.[8][9][10] One reviewer found the drawings range from the "suggestively simple to excessively cartoonish."[10] However, other reviewers found the book enjoyable to read and a good choice for story hour.[8] Recommended for ages 3–7.[10]

To the Island (1999) and Up the Mountain (2000) both features four friends: Dragon, Cat, Chicken and Rabbit who spend time together exploring their surroundings.[2][11] In To the Island, recommended for ages 3–5, the four friends venture to a nearby island for a picnic. The story is described by Donna Gold of the Portland Press Herald as "neither silly nor solemn,"[12] with a text suitable for beginning readers and illustrations that, through use of vibrant colors, depict a happy time spent with friends.[2][12][13]

In Agell's Up the Mountain, the four set off on a rainy day to climb a mountain.[2][14] The adventure is, reportedly, "too mild for children at the upper end of the target audience"[15] (the four just basically walk to the top of the mountain and back), but reviewers agree the simple rhymes and the illustrations, conveyed in ink, watercolor and pastels, are suitable for young listeners.[11][16] Recommended ages 2–5.[17]

Welcome Home or Someplace Like It (2003), Agell's debut novel,[18] is a semi-autobiographical story[19] told through the experiences of 13-year-old Aggie Wing. Aggie and her brother, Thorne, are faced with learning to cope with life in Ludwig, Maine after being dropped off there by their mother, a romance writer, who leaves to do research in Niagara Falls. The two children have moved a lot and must now learn to live with their 91-year-old grandfather.[20][21] Themes in the book include abandonment,[22] bravery,[19] community,[21] family[23] and discoveries of home.[21] Elsa Geskus, in Childhood Education, describes the book as a coming of age story [23] and Barbara Auerbach reports in the School Library Journal, the book has "strong and winning characters; excellent pacing; and a lazy, nostalgic setting."[24] Welcome Home or Someplace Like It has been compared with Polly Horvath's The Canning Season.[22] Recommended for ages 12 and up.[23]

Agell's dystopian[4][25] book, Shift (2008), takes on an admittedly darker tone than her previous books,[1][2][19] written in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon that occurred in the United States on September 11, 2001.[4][19] Agell felt a sense of outrage that the U.S. government's response to those events. "Was this really my country bombing its way to peace? Wiretapping its citizens to protect their freedoms?" she wrote in an interview for Macmillan Publishers, "As someone who chose American citizenship on purpose, as an adult, I felt such a sense of betrayal. My country had been hijacked by a fear-mongering regime: ours. The whole thing had a surreal quality about it."[19]

Agell channeled her anger into the novel, exploring themes such as personal freedom,[19] government control,[2][25][26] separation of church and state,[1][2] religion,[1][27] science[25] and evolution,[19] and identity,[19] as experienced by the 15-year-old protagonist, Adrian Havoc[2] who, with his sister Shriek, must somehow make sense out of a world that is "out of whack."[25] The world they travel through in Shift is the partially post-nuclear United Christian States[28] controlled by Homestate agents,[1][26] with similarities to 1984 (George Orwell), The Stand (Stephen King) and The Road (Cormac McCarthy).[1]

Agell views Shift as a cautionary tale.[1] Reviewers find the book thought-provoking and readable[25] for its intended young adult audience,[2] though some find the plot confusing[25][27][28] and take issue with the seemingly anti-Christian themes.[2][27] Agell disagrees with this sentiment, saying through her character Lenore, "God wants us to think."[1][19] Agell finds it strange that, in the book and in real life, this idea stirs up controversy.[19] Agell wants her readers to learn to ask "what if" and develop the skills to think for themselves, regardless of their religious affiliations.[1][19]

In March 2011, Shift was adapted for stage by Al Miller and performed as part of the Theater Project (a Young Company Production), in Brunswick, ME.[29][30]

Agell's The Accidental Adventures of India McAllister (2010) focuses on the daily life of a fourth grade girl, India McAllister, growing up in a small town in Maine.[31] Themes of the book include adoption,[32][31] friendships,[32] breast cancer,[21][33] homosexuality[32][31][33] and divorce[21][33] which are interwoven throughout the book as ordinary occurrences in the young girl's life.[34] The text is accompanied by India's (Agell's) line drawings.[31] One reviewer criticized the book as too complicated, leaving unresolved most of the issues India encounters in the book.[33] Recommended for children ages 8–11, The Accidental Adventure of India McAllister was named among the top ten GLBTQ books for young readers by the American Library Association's 2011 Rainbow Project.[35]
