About the author

As a child, I loved writing reports. For me, doing research has always been a kind of treasure hunt. My treasures are the facts that create pictures of past worlds and faraway places. I've put those facts into nearly 100 biographies, histories, and science books for young readers. I've also written two picture books and several interactive adventures that place you, the reader, inside the story. I hope that all my books lead you to imagine yourself in some intriguing place among fascinating people. Every book should take readers on new adventures in this big, beautiful world of ours.

Happy travels!

While I enjoyed learning a little bit about Ann Hutchinson, a remarkable woman of the 1600's, this mini biography felt rather rushed in its execution. The layout was done well with lovely illustrations, pictures, a time-line and glossary; it just needed to personalize Ann's story more.
