Very nice to see Ruby Gardner and The Tutor on this list (you have to scroll down to the second section). I loved writing that character. She led to all the writing I did for younger readers – the Echo Falls Trilogy, Bowser and Birdie, Queenie and Arthur, plus Reality Check (Edgar Winner) and Bullet Point. (I’m told that some young teens do enjoy the Chet and Bernie series but it’s written for adults.)
