Laurel’s Comments (group member since Feb 25, 2012)

Laurel’s comments from the Q&A with Laurel Snyder group.

One of my books is Any Which Wall, and I wrote it as a tribute to Edward Eager's magical books. Another one of my novels, Penny Dreadful, mentions (or alludes to) a slew of other classic book titles. The book I'm currently working on makes reference to The Secret Garden.

We talk a lot about how kids read today, but I still believe they can learn a lot from the books I loved as a kid. I'd love to hear what you think about that.

I'd love to get to know more readers, other authors, and members of the Goodreads community. Please tell us a bit about yourself, and maybe a few of your very favorite books?

I'm Laurel. In addition to being an author, I'm a poet, occasional essayist, even more occasional commentator for NPR's All Things Considered, and a mom. If you want to know more about me, there's (perhaps too much) information at http://laurelsnyder.com. I'm from baltimore, but I live in Atlanta now.
