About the author
Marjorie Weinman Sharmat
246 books115 followersMarjorie Weinman Sharmat was an American children's writer. She wrote more than 130 books for children and teens and her books have been translated into several languages. They have won awards including Book of the Year by the Library of Congress or have become selections by the Literary Guild.
Perhaps Sharmat's most popular work features the child detective Nate the Great. He was inspired by and named after her father, who lived to see the first Nate book published. One story, Nate the Great Goes Undercover, was adapted as a made-for-TV movie that won the Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival Award. Sharmat's husband Mitchell Sharmat expanded Nate's storyline by creating Olivia Sharp, his cousin and fellow detective. Husband and wife wrote four Olivia Sharp books published 1989 to 1991. During the 1990s, their son Craig Sharmat (then in his thirties) wrote three Nate books with his mother. In the late 2010s, their other son Andrew Sharmat co-wrote the last two Nate books written while Marjorie Weinman Sharmat was alive. With Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's passing in 2019 Andrew has continued writing the series with Nate the Great and the Earth Day Robot (2021).
In the mid-1980s Sharmat wrote three books published in 1984 and 1985 under the pseudonym Wendy Andrews.
Sharmat also wrote the Sorority Sisters series, eight short novels published in 1986 and 1987. They are romantic fiction with a sense of humor. They are set in a California public high school (day school for ages 14 to 18, approximately).

This is the standout of this series, at least of the ones I've read. It has the most sympathetic main character and the most plot. (Plot is, wallflower twin steps out of the shadow of her sister and takes on some romantic entanglements and the quasi-evil high school sorority she belongs to.)
All the covers of this series are amazing, but special prize for the cover of this book! One of the boys Daisy likes works in a bookstore, so it depicts a boy and girl grinning demonically at each other in a bookstore. And the books and posters featured in the background are the royalty of the '80s: A Very Young Dancer by Jill Krementz, another Sorority Sisters book (very meta!), Francine Pascal, The Moon on a String by Tricia Springstubb, With Love from Karen by Marie Killilea, I Can Stop Anytime I Want To by James Trivers, Amulet of Doom by Bruce Coville. And one I can't identify, which is annoying.
