Welcome to My WorldThanks for clicking here! I've written more than fifty books for teens and young readers, and now I want to meet you in virtual person. If you'd like to know more about the pages in my site:
-- Check out My Books, and find out something about My Life. -- Look over my shoulder at my Writer's Journal as I work on my latest project (sometimes more than one). -- Meet the Grammar Dragon -- Book Report due? Miss Frankenberry is here to help! -- Confidential to Teachers: this page is for you. Be sure to read the letter from Anna. It's why we do what we do.
Take a look at this!
