About the author

I was born in downtown Toronto on April 19, 1972 and lived there until my folks moved up to Kitchener in 1991 so I could attend the University of Waterloo. I’ve lived in Kitchener ever since. I’ve been trained as an urban planner, and I’ve worked as a database manager, web designer, circulation manager, administrative assistant, layout designer and office manager. The one consistent thing about my varied academic and professional career has been a love of writing.

Reviews

[Kris · Rating 4 out of 5]

Part of the Straight Talk About... series. Recommended for gr. 6-8. I don't think I can add anything to the publisher's blurb (above) regarding the content. Colorful with plenty of age-appropriate photos and graphics. High schoolers will probably find it a bit "young".
