About meI'm the author of 40 books for children, with more on the way. My best-known title is Library Lion (Candlewick Press), which was a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into several languages. My latest book is a middle-grade fantasy novel called The Dragon of Trelian. In one of my earlier lives, I was a full-time children’s book editor, and I continue to edit manuscripts on a freelance basis today (see my website for more information). I have also worked as a bookseller, substitute teacher, library supervisor, and managing editor, among other things. I live in Brooklyn, New York.

About my libraryWhat's listed here isn't close to representing my whole library, but it's a good beginning. I read mostly children's/middle-grade/YA and science fiction and fantasy, although I also enjoy occasional non-genre fiction and interesting nonfiction. I keep track of most of my "to read" books over on Goodreads, and am trying to keep my LibraryThing list to books I own and/or have already read. I try to get a lot of books from the public library these days, so there are getting to be more and more "read but unowned" titles on my list.

I used to rate and write reviews of books, but now I seldom do. I generally won't include books I really disliked in my list, and at some point (when I have some more time!) I will start a "favorites" collection to highlight books I especially loved.
