My other books are BOTTLED, THE LYING PLANET, and the JUNCTION 2020 series. I have a Studio Arts degree and I'm a longtime SCBWI member.

Quotes by Carol Riggs

“Your looks are an important part of who you are." He winds a lock of my hair around his finger. "You wouldn't be who you are, the same personality, if you'd grown up looking different. You're a blend of your body and your soul.”
