About the Author

Multiple award-winning author Jon Scieszka grew up in Flint, Michigan, the second oldest and the nicest of six boys. Jon went to school at Culver Military Academy in Indiana where he was a Lieutenant; Albion College in Michigan where he studied to be a doctor; and Columbia University in New York, where he got a M.F.A. in fi ction. He taught elementary school in New York for ten years in a variety of positions. In addition to his work as an author, Jon also runs a web-based literacy program called “Guys Read” that is designed to encourage boys, particularly reluctant readers, to get involved with books. Currently, he lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife and two kids.

Recently, Jon was named the country’s first National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, a joint effort of the Library of Congress and the Children’s Book Council. During his two-year role as Ambassador, he will act as a spokesperson for children’s literature, speaking to groups of parents, teachers, and children to encourage the importance of reading.

: So Little Time - So Many Books, July 21, 2011 (view all comments by So Little Time - So Many Books)
This is a great series. I have a seven-year old son and he is enthralled. There is enough action and adventure to hold his interest, but enough factual information to allow me to feel as if he is learning something. Reading the second in the series yesterday launched us into a discussion about what historical fiction means. He is now able to identify the genre in many books and movies. I heartily recommend.
