He is most known for his young adult novels ''Endangered'' (2012) and ''Threatened'' (2014), which are survival stories featuring young people and great apes. He is currently on the faculty of the Creative Writing MFA Program at Fairleigh Dickinson University. ==Career== Schrefer has published eight books to date. In reviewing his novel ''Endangered'', The New York Times praised the depth of his characters, saying “As riveting as the action is, it’s the nuanced portraits of the characters, human and ape, that make the story so deeply affecting.” Dennis Abrams of Publishing Perspectives, also discussed in his review of ''Threatened,'' the way in which Schrefer “even makes his chimpanzees…into living breathing characters.” In drawing parallels between the bonobo apes and human characters in these novels, Schrefer says that writing about the bonobos “allowed me to address more nakedly the feelings—jealousy, loyalty, anger, sorrow—that we all experience.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalbook.org/nba2012_ypl_schrefer_interv.html#.VF-demctCpp )〕
