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.

2.0 out of 5 stars ~*!!My Cages review!!*~, May 17, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Cages (Paperback)

In the book cages, Kit steals a bracelet from Pierre's because of problems with her step father and because she didn't get the part she wanted in the school play. Then Kit has to do twenty hours of community service work at the Humane Society to get it taken off her perminate record, but she doesn't mind the work because she knows how it feels to be trapped in a cage! After a while Kit seems to find the key to her cage!
I thought Cages was an OK book but I didn't like it very well and I thought it was a little too predictable. I would mostly recommend this book to any girl in grades 4 and up.

This review is from: Cages (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was outstanding! It is about this girl named kit who is kind of troubled because she just lost the lead in the school play and her stepdad is an alcoholic. Kit likes a gold braclet and steals it. Kit ends up having to work 20 hours in the Humane Society. I loved this book because it has something to do with a girl my age and animals.(I love animals) This story kept me on the edge of my seat and it will keep you on yours too! I couldnt put this book down.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was one of the best books I have ever read! Buy it!!!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cages (Paperback)

It was really sad, but it shows you that when it comes to having problems you are no where near alone. Kit is a great charter! She may not be perfect, but she is much better that way!The old man in the book is so smart! At the end I was so glad to see Kit's mother have the look of pride in her eyes!!! Kit deserved it!
