When researching I Survived, I often find real kids from history who lived through the events I'm writing about. Those stories often become my Storyworks stories, like this one about the Chicago fire, for Storyworks 3. I love introducing your readers to kids from history!.

My husband came into my office with today's UPS delivery — my author copies of I Survived the Black Death. Even after 24 books, seeing a brand new one in the "flesh" is a thrill! Out in the world 10/15. Can't wait to share this one with your readers.

Taking a little break from writing I Survived 25 to write the speech for my son's wedding, happening next weekend. The only problem is that I keep tearing up with happiness, which makes it hard to see the computer screen!.

parents and teachers! What do your middle schoolers think of when they hear the word "manners?" I'm editing a story for our amazing Scope mag. I'd love to hear their thoughts and let me know if your 6-8th grader would want to share ideas for the story.

Teachers, I need your input for a topic for I Survived 25. Readers keep asking for WWI, but I am not in a trench warfare frame of mind. With the 250th anniversary of the Rev War coming up, maybe Yorktown or another battle? Dustbowl? Mt. Everest? Eager for thoughts!.
