Mary Casanova

    Mary Casanova píše príbehy, ktoré dávajú zmysel a ktoré deti nedokážu odložiť. Jej diela, inšpirované životom na hranici medzi Minnesotou a Kanadou aj výskumom na cestách po svete, skúmajú témy, ktoré oslovujú mladých čitateľov. Casanova považuje za najväčšiu odmenu, keď jej mladý čitateľ povie, že má rád jej knihu, pretože pre ňu je písanie spôsobom komunikácie medzi autorom a čitateľom. Slová sú jej štetcom, jej spôsobom, ako skúmať svet okolo seba, a ona si užíva zdieľanie svojej vášne pre písanie a čítanie s deťmi aj dospelymi.

      Twelve-year-old Cecile Revel is given a change to leave her peasant life and serve at King Louis XIV's court.
