More About the Author
I was born in Chicago, but grew up in Sacramento, CA. After I graduated from Stanford University, I worked in the Midwest as a newspaper reporter, a hospital PR director, and the assistant director of a convention and visitors bureau. I began writing books for children when my youngest son was born, and collected 156 rejections before my first book sale six years later. In the 1990s, I published seventeen books for young readers, including eight as lead author of the Magic Attic Club. After a long period of loss and writer's block, I earned my MFA in Writing for Children at Vermont College. My critical thesis was entitled "Good Grief: Making Death and Bereavement Authentic for Middle Grade Readers." GIVING UP THE GHOST is the first published book of my "second career." It was inspired by my mother's eight-and-a-half-year battle with Stage 4B endometrial cancer, my own work as a hospice volunteer, and a love affair with New Orleans that began when our middle son attended Tulane.

This review is from: Trapped Beyond The Attic (Magic Attic Club) (Hardcover)
These books provided such entertainment for me as an early teenager!!! No they are not the American Girl Doll books, I also read those and liked them just as much, there is just something about the Magic Attic series that sparks a childs imagination. The wonderful idea of dressing up taking you somewhere to match the clothes you put on is the image that almost every little girl wished for. So no they are not the American Girl Doll books, they are something totally different and I think any little girl would be lucky to read them!

Read the American Girl doll books instead,
By Elizabeth A Triano "lizziewriter" (In Transition, NY (watch this space)) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Trapped Beyond the Magic Attic (Paperback)
I liked the American Girl dolls and books, and had a couple, and Rose (now Rosa) by Magic Attic is a pretty doll... so I got the set a while back. Oh, ow, these books aren't nearly as well done as the American Girl books. That said, maybe what to me seems cheesy and shallow is fun and appealing for those of today's girls who are not interested in the lively, well researched, well illustrated historical books that go with the American Girl dolls. There is also a Dear America series, which is a bit harsher. If one thinks that the American Girl books are too "sweet," perhaps try them. But I'd sooner read almost anything than these dreadful Magic Attic books.
