It's like a treasure hunt." There is no difference whether she is writing about a fictional character, such as in The Journal of Augustus Pelletier: The Lewis and Clark Expedition, 1804, for the My Name is America series, or a real character, such as in Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor, England, 1544, for the Royal Diaries series. When doing research for a book, Lasky usually begins in the children's room of the public library. Her first book, I Have Four Names for My Grandfather, was published while she was teaching. She was quite excited that the Guardians of Ga'Hoole has been optioned by Warner Brothers for a major movie.Īfter graduating college, Lasky wrote for magazines and worked as a teacher. She consulted with the scientists there frequently. Luckily, Lasky lives quite close to Harvard University and the department of Ornithology ( Ornithology is a branch of Zoology that concers the study of birds). She loves owls and researching their behavior and natural history.
Her books range from critically acclaimed nonfiction titles such as Beyond the Burning Time and True North to the wildly popular Guardians of Ga'Hoole fantasy series about owls. |a As a cold, harsh winter approaches, the cats from the mountains prepare to divide into several camps, requiring each cat to decide where his or her allegiances lie. |a New York, NY : |b Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, |c
