By: K. Pirger
Margaret Peterson Haddix, the author of twenty five plus novels including the Shadow Children Series sequence, the Missing series, Turnabout, and The Girl With 500 Names, grew up in the small town of Washington Court House, Ohio as a middle child. Haddix, the daughter of a nurse and farmer, always reading, always writing, knew exactly what she wanted to spend her life doing. Now living back in Ohio with her husband Doug and 2 children, Meredith and Connor, she is a worldwide known author. Her work has been honored with the International Reading Association Children’s Book Award, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers Citations, New York Times Bestseller, and multiple other awards. All of the Margaret Peterson Haddix books I have ever read have been beyond spectacular. Her creativity, style, and passion shows through in her writing to make them all worth reading.
