![]() It’s not going on my all-time favorites list-I just didn’t find anything in it to love-but I would read more of her writing, which is award-winning like this one. For middle grades historical fiction, I thought Lyddie was a real solid read. Like a Jacqueline Wilson, but time-travelling, American, and less predictable. It is clear that she loves story and cultures and that she does a lot of research and writes difficult subject matter for middle schoolers. That’s not really a bad thing, I was just surprised that the same lady wrote Lyddie, Jacob Have I Loved, and Bridge to Terabithia. (Check out her website HERE.) Having now read two of her books, I can hardly believe the same person wrote both of them. You can likely find something that would interest you amongst her books, especially if you are a kid or someone teaching kids. Maybe they aren’t even all for kids, since a couple are memoir/writing life books. For children, yes, but everything from picture books to nonfiction, fantasy to historical fiction. ![]() She wrote a heck of a lot of books and they are very wide in their scope. ![]() Okay, there are actually quite a few more. ![]()
