Learn More About Me

Calling all bibliophiles (book lovers)! Welcome To my site where you can learn more about me and find new ways to dig deeper into my books.

Also check out www.cryptokids.com and www.grammarpatrol.com.

I'm crazy about books! I grew up reading books under the covers with a flashlight. I still read voraciously.

I've taught school, tutored, run after-school programs, and done a lot of writing-newspapers, magazines, books. Now I've written 15 books, including four with colleague Judith Josephson.

When I'm not writing or reading, you'll find me swimming or walking, baking, or making soup. In between my plants and flowers, I grow vegetables! I watch old-timey movies, have fun with my family, email pals around the country, do Sudokus, compost and recycle (call me the "Recycling Queen"), and work toward fairness and justice for all on this small blue marble we call home.
