She grew up in Virginia just before the technology boom, when exciting weekend plans consisted of a library card and a few dozen ice pops.

Her books have received critical acclaim from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Booklist and the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, and have been featured on numerous best-books-of-the-year lists.
