I was fortunate to come across this out-of-print book at a thrift store. This is an excellent autobiography that I would recommend to any Ann Martin fan or children's book author.
From Ann Martin's diaper days to her teaching days, you will discover how she rose through the ranks of a publishing house to become a bestselling children's book author.
Ann left her editorial job after publishing her first book, "Bummer Summer," and several other books. She writes books for other series and novelizations, among other things. She was eventually approached about writing a new series called "The Baby-sitter Club," which changed her life forever.
This is a must-read for any aspiring children's book author. It's motivating! -- ★★★★★
1/20/20- You can tell that this was my very first post and that I had no idea how to even begin writing a blog piece, much less a review. This biography and the books from The Babysitter Club are no longer mine. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic novels for kids, but over the years, my reading preferences have changed, so I gave all the volumes to the Salvation Army.

I genuinely cherish the thoughts and insights of my readers, and I wholeheartedly welcome your engagement. However, to foster a truly constructive dialogue, I’ll be keeping a careful eye on the comments section. This means I’ll be moderating to weed out any spammy detritus, overly harsh critiques, or contributions that don’t add anything meaningful to the conversation. Think of it as my little corner of the internet—a space where everyone can share their perspectives without the noise. Let’s make this a place where ideas can flourish and grow, rather than wither away in the shadows of irrelevance.
