Laurie’s Bookshelf
The site hasn’t been updated for awhile, since it doesn’t even have her latest book listed. But it does say that it is in the process of being updated, so there is still hope. I adore her books, especially Speak and Fever 1793. Her novels are those special ones that give a glimpse inside of someone else’s life, allowing readers to understand others better.

A classy homepage for this wonderful author of books for teens and older children. I think my favorite of hers is still Squashed. I remember being caught up by the humor of the story and the unique situation of trying to grow the largest pumpkin.
