Lenora Mattingly Weberová sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriavala na život dospievajúcich dievčat a ich cestu k dospelosti, často v zasadení do prostredia Denveru. Jej postavy, vrátane populárnej Beany Maloneovej, prechádzajú typickými výzvami dospievania, priateľstva a rodinných vzťahov. Weberová majstrovsky zachytáva ich vnútorný svet a hľadanie vlastnej identity. Jej diela ponúkajú nadčasový pohľad na výzvy a radosti dospievania.
