In fact, she has written NINETEEN books for kids, and all of them are very very good. Mostly, they're funny too. She has written the award-winning series Ivy Bean; the also-award-winning Magic Half and its sequel, Magic in the Mix; Nothing, for young adult readers (that means it has bad words in it) ; a picture book called What John Marco Saw (don't worry--she didn't draw the pictures) ; and The Best of Iggy, which is the first book in a new series about--you guessed it!--a kid named Iggy who does not play the cello, plant flowers by the side of the road, or learn his lesson and become a better person. Still, he's a pretty great kid.
