She recently abandoned the beaches and boulevards of Los Angeles for the chilly embrace of the East Coast, as all that sun and fun gave her too little to complain about. She now lives and writes in New York City, which she claims to love for its vibrant culture and intellectual life. In reality, she doesn't make it to museums nearly enough, and actually just loves the city for its pizza, its shopping, and the fact that at three A.M. you can always get anything you need -- and you can get it delivered. Wasserman is also the author of another teen series called The Seven Deadly Sins.

Mon, Mar 01, 2010

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1907 and was wildly popular for his poems, short stories, novels, and children's books. As the British Empire waned, he was dismissed as a "jingoistic imperialist," but in more recent times his reputation has been at least partly rehabilitated. In 1990, for example, Reader's Digest included Kim on a list of "The World's Best Reading," and for those who can accept its old-fashioned language and world view, the book still offers mystery, fun, and a kaleidoscopic view of India in the late 19th century
