Milinda spent her childhood trying to hide from her siblings so that she could read in peace. The only person who understood her obsession with the printed word was her aunt, a librarian, who mailed Milinda the books she couldn't find in her home town. In this way, Milinda read all the biographies ever written for children, all of Beverly Cleary, and her favorite, The Happy Hollisters.
