This week I would like to focus on authors of books we will be reading independently! I would like to share some fascinating information about an author of some great books. Many of you may, or may not have heard of Gordon Korman. He writes a lot of books for children. In fact, he has written over 25 books, and actually wrote his first book at 12 years old, which was published when he was 14! Here is a link where you can find out some fascinating information about Gordon Korman. Click here to see the information. Hope you enjoy it!

These are some facts about Rick Riordan. A neat thing about the author of Percy Jackson the Last Olympian, the book I’m reading, would be that Rick Riordan was a teacher. He writes books for kids and adults. He 1st started writing seriously in the 8th grade. Rick wrote Percy Jackson, 39 Clues, The Kane Chronicles, & Heroes of Olympus.

I am so excited to see all of you looking into the authors of your books. Can you imagine writing a book and actually becoming an author? How exciting would that be! Would you like to be an author? Why or why not?

The author of my book is Terry Bisson. Terry Bisson is the author of seven novels. He grew up in Ownsboro, Kentucky.I do not want to be a auther at this time because there are many other things in life that I want to do.
The author of my book is Mike Lupica. I am almost finished reading "Million-Dollar Throw". He is a well known sports author. He has show called The Mike Lupica Show on ESPN2. He is the author of "Travel Team", "Heat", "The Big Field". He is a youth basketball and soccer coach. He has 4 children and lives in Conecticut.
He compares to Gordon Korman by being well known authors and in my opinion they are inspiring and talented authors.
