Author of the Month - Margaret Peterson Haddix

Picture from haddixbooks.com
Margaret Peterson Haddix has written "over 25" (the safest estimation according to her website) books for young adults including the popular Shadow Children series.  

She has been a writer and a reader her whole life, starting her career as a journalist in the Midwest.  She triple majored in college in creative writing, journalism, and history - which helps explain why many of her books are based somewhere in between fact and fiction.  She often works historical elements into her fiction - like in the hugely popular Missing series.  

You can find out more about Haddix by checking out her website or visiting her Facebook page.  She often responds to her fans on the page and shares some interesting insights into her writing process.  Take a minute to check out one of her books from the fiction section of the media center!
