Really, I think that deep down, he's a good lil' dragon but he still seems might suspicious to me! So we'll just have to see how that goes. Ever since Morowseer took him to the Nightwing kingdom, he's been acting weird. Now let me just say he's the dragonet of destiny that I least like. The next book is going to be told from Starflight's point of view. I love the excitement, the surprises, and the adventure! So far with each book I've read in the series I sympathize most with the character that's telling the story probably because I'm inside that characters head! So far I've been 'inside' Clay, Tsunami, and Glory's head. Okay so now that we've go that out of the way let's get on to the review! Yes, I realize this is a middle grade book but let me say if me, a teenager, can really enjoy this book (and for that matter all the books in this series) then the series is definitely worth reading! I say it doesn't matter all that much if a book is in the YA section or the juvenile section in the library as long as it's a good book! And therefore, I have no qualms with reading books that are considered 'middle grade' fiction. To me the characters seem well developed.

My first novel for teenagers was THIS MUST BE LOVE, which retells Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a modern-day high school, from the POV of the two heroines, Hermia and Helena.Īnd now I'm writing in a new project called SEEKERS! It's a children's book series that I'm writing with Erin Hunter. MEET MO AND ELLA is tough to find now, but FUN WITH MO AND ELLA should still be out there somewhere. My first two official books were beginning readers, part of Grosset & Dunlap’s “First Friends” series for kids learning to read. Much to my parents’ relief, I abandoned my theatrical aspirations after college for the far more stable and lucrative career of fiction writing. I graduated from Williams College in ’98 and I currently live in Boston with my husband, my perfect new baby, and my adorable yoodle Sunshine (what’s a yoodle? A puppy that’s three-quarters poodle and one-quarter Yorkshire terrier, of course!).

because it was artistically fulfilling, yes.) I was born July 31 (same birthday as Harry Potter!) in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay Miami, Florida and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre-mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys. Among the many great things to come out of New Zealand (the Lord of the Rings movies, cats that paint, my mom) is a bird called the tui-not as well known as the kiwi, but a heck of a lot noisier! Tui? What kind of name is that? Is it short for something?
