About the books: Kathryn Lasky has written over a hundred books for children and young adults, fiction and non fiction. She is the Newbery Honor author. She lives near Harvard University so she had the opportunity of doing serious research for her books. "My responsibility as an author is to write with authenticity and accuracy and it does not vary whether the character is real or fictional," states Lasky.
