More About the Author

I've published 45 books; all but two are for children. I wrote magazine articles, short stories, and plays for many years before I discovered that what I like best is to write books for kids.
When I was twelve, I was paralyzed with polio. I made almost a full recovery but I remember that time of my life so clearly that it's easy for me to write from the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.
I'm always thrilled when one of my books wins a state young reader award, because I know those awards are voted on by children.
I am a widow who was married for 48 years. I have two grown children and four grandchildren. I live on a small wildlife sanctuary near Mt. Rainier National Park and I often have deer and elk in my yard.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I could run the instant commuter and go everywhere., November 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The BLIZZARD DISASTER (Hardcover)

The Blizzard Disaster story was a good book. The instant commuter was really neat! I liked Ellie's imaginary squirrel friend. Ellie said he grew a new tail! I hope Peg Kehret's next book is good because I'm going to read it!

This review is from: The Blizzard Disaster (Frightmares) (Paperback)

This book is well written and entertaining. It's also improbable but that's all part of the story. Two modern teenagershave this device where they can touch a map or a photograph and they transport themselves to that locale in an instant. In this case they arive in western Minnesota on November, 11, 1940, one of the most severe blizzards in state history.

Their intention is to write a report for their school, and they believe they can have better information if they go directly to the spot rather than rely on book information. Their intentions work until they hear the cries of a lost little girl who is in danger of freezing to death. While it all works out in the end (these young adult books really have no other ending), the author writes in a way that makes the story fast paced and entertaining. This is a good short book to read.
