About this author

My parents, who grew up in China, had no favorite books from their childhood to share with me, which left me to my own devices in the library. When I mentioned this to a friend, she was a bit stunned, and I understood this reaction. I certainly never felt deprived as a child, but as a parent, it's hard to imagine not having that link.

My own book is about finding the stories we discover about our families and how we are changed by them. I hope my book inspires its readers to find the powerful stories, both great and small, in their own families.

Hiding Out at the Pancake Palace by Nan Marino
Hiding Out at the Pancake Palace
by Nan Marino (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
As soon as I heard that Nan Marino had a new book out, I sprinted to the library to get on the wait list. What a great, classic middle-grade book! Marino deftly combines the vagaries of fame, growing up and a wee bit of magic all into a terrific romp...more

33 Minutes by Todd Hasak-Lowy
Great humor and voice in this book, and I love the bright yellow cover. 33 Minutes is a kid-sized version of 24, taking readers on a minute by minute (and sometimes second by second) countdown to an anticipated fight with the main character's former...more

Gulp by Mary Roach
Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal
by Mary Roach (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
This book is not for the squeamish! Mary Roach takes us on quite a romp through the digestive system, and manages to find great humor and detail in all stages of food intake (and output). I must confess that I could not read some sections, and you'll...more

Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina
An absolutely amazing book - to call it a "bully" book seems almost unfair because the character development is so far beyond a basic issues book. Medina takes readers on one girl's devastating decline when she becomes the target of a fearsome girl a...more

This Beautiful Life by Helen Schulman

Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a good man goes to war

Friendship dies and true love lies
Night will fall and the dark will rise
When a good man goes to war

Demons run, but count the cost
The battle's won, but the child is lost

What Should I Do with My Life? by Po Bronson
Bronson treats his subject (and by that, I mean the theoretical subject and the very human people he interviewed) with a compassionate sharp eye. It would be so easy to go off the rails in this book, but Bronson is willing to ask the hard questions,...more
