about this author

Andrew Clements is an American author of books for children. Clements grew up in New Jersey and Illinois, United States. He worked as a teacher for seven years after college, but there was a money crisis, so he was fired, or RIFed. He started his literary career by writing the text for picture books, and went on to write children's novels. His first novel was Frindle, which still remains one of his best-known works. Most of his novels' covers depict a person, usually a child, holding something up to the reader.

"When we read, we decide when, where, how long, and about what. One of the few places on earth that it is still possible to experience an instant sense of freedom and privacy is anywhere you open up a good book and begin to read. When we read silently, we are alone with our own thoughts and one other voice. We can take our time, consider, evaluate, and digest what we read—with no commercial interruptions, no emotional music or special effects manipulation. And in spite of the advances in electronic information exchange, the book is still the most important medium for presenting ideas of substance and value, still the only real home of literature."
